Open-Book Assessments, Not Classical Exams

Leadership in today’s world is about framing questions, gathering evidence, and building defensible arguments—not memorising facts.

This assessment approach rewards those who think critically and write persuasively. It mirrors executive reality: finding the right information, evaluating sources, and articulating a compelling, ethical course of action under time and resource constraints.
