If we can assess the gaps, we can devise befitting developmental strategies to address or bridge those gaps. Without thorough understanding of the gaps, the development could be superficial, transactional, and generic. And it may not serve the purpose in the overall scheme of things for an organization. Leadership development must be both, fundamental in essence as well as contextual in relevance. In some ways, it must be correlated to the context as well as the competencies that have been chosen to accelerate the growth and ensure sustainability. With inadequate understanding of leadership gaps, our developmental approach will be ineffective and that is not what organizations would like to pay for.
COSM assessments have been curated and baked overtime, based on three cardinal elements.

Top Leadership Teams invariably have a strong shadow on the rest of the organization. It is important to gauge their impact on teams below. Most leaders somehow often underestimate this.
