About the regulatory agency
In the mid-1990s, Malaysia adopted a convergence regulation model for its communications and multimedia industry. This led to the establishment of the communications and multimedia regulatory agency. The agency formed 10 national policy objectives as well as a regulatory framework covering economic, technical, consumer protection, and social regulations.
Situation
The HR Team at the regulatory agency faced several operational challenges in their assessment process. They firmly believed in the power of assessments and a data-driven approach to talent development.
But dealing with multiple assessment tools across multiple vendors was creating several roadblocks for achieving their goals, including delays in data consolidation and poor adoption rates.
The lack of agility and manual processes were frustrating the team and slowing down their ability to meet business needs in an agile manner. They needed a solution.

3. Poor completion rates
