Does the abstract need revision?
Yes, other (please specify in comment section)
How relevant is the perspective presented to current theory and/or practice in the field of assessments and assessment centre methodology?
4
The abstract clearly positions leadership competency frameworks as foundational to assessment centre design and decision-making. The link to assessment methodology is conceptually sound; however, the application to assessment centre processes (e.g., competency modelling, behavioural indicators, exercise design, or assessor decision-making) could be made more explicit to strengthen relevance for an assessment-focused audience.
To what extent does the presentation offer a perspective that is relevant to current theory and/or practice in assessments and assessment centre methods?
5
The use of AI-enabled abductive theory development represents a highly relevant and contemporary perspective. The abstract directly engages with current debates around evidence-based competency modelling and challenges established deductive approaches that underpin many assessment frameworks.
How well does the presentation demonstrate originality and relevance to current issues in assessments and assessment centres?
5
The conceptual approach to AI-driven competency discovery appears broadly applicable across organisations and industries. However, greater clarity on how the model can be adapted or interpreted across different organisational contexts, cultures, or role levels would strengthen generalisability.
To what extent is the presentation grounded in sound theory or defensible practice relevant to assessments and assessment centres?
4
The abstract demonstrates strong theoretical grounding through its historical overview of leadership theory and competency modelling. To further strengthen defensibility, a brief reference to validation processes, data sources, or methodological safeguards used in the AI-driven framework would be beneficial.
To what extent does the presentation contribute to the ethical application and governance of assessments and assessment centres?
3
To what extent does the presentation replicate or closely resemble content presented recently at another local conference?
