Frequently Asked Questions
How is Pinsight different from other types of leadership assessments?
Pinsight is an entirely virtual solution, that includes some self-report surveys, a learning agility assessment, and a business simulation. The business simulation engages participants in an online, fictitious work environment for a few hours. Like any modern workplace, participants will answer emails, prepare documents, attend video conferences with colleagues, and handle the daily challenges of leadership.
How long does the business simulation last?
Pinsight offers simulations that range from 1 hour to up to 3 hours, and vary with the type and level of the assessment. Each simulation includes at least one role play and many other activities. Participants say the time moves quickly and the simulation is very engaging.
How much time should be spent preparing for the simulation?
We strongly recommend that participants familiarize themselves with the dashboard and the documents available prior to your simulation. Leaders who make time to practice and prepare feel more confident and calm during their simulation. Participants will have access to the dashboard once the simulation is scheduled and can take time to get familiar with its content and features.
Is there an opportunity to practice using the simulation platform?
Upon scheduling the simulation, participants will receive an email with an invitation to set up their user profile and to access the Pinsight platform. Practice time is available up until the time the simulation starts.
What if I need to reschedule or stop in the middle of the simulation session?
Please contact your representative if you need to cancel or reschedule a simulation. Late cancelation fees may apply. For immediate help, use the live chat feature from within the simulation or use the live chat feature on the Pinsight website.
Do your simulations have a minimum or maximum number of participants?
Since our packages are custom tailored to your organization and needs, we do not have a required minimum or maximum. Contact us with the details of your assessment needs and we will start to create your custom package.
Do participants have to travel for their assessments?
No travel is necessary. Our assessment is fully virtual, with a live role-play component completed by video or audio call. Participants schedule their assessment online at a time that works for them, even during non-business hours.
How long does it take to receive results?
Assessment results can be available in as little as 72-hours, from the time participants are invited to the assessment to having the results available. Once the participant has completed their assessment our report will be available within 24 hours.
