The theme permeating this book on assessment centers is continuity and change. We describe what has remained the same and what has changed in the 50-year history of the assessment center method. The basic elements of the assessment center method have remained the same: observation and judgments by multiple trained assessors about overt behaviors relevant to dimensions of performance displayed in simulation exercises. Continuity is also seen in the traditional assessment centers carried out in many public safety agencies. Change has been evident in each of the elements of the assessment center method. Assessment center developers have experimented with modifications in reaction to changes regarding:

the nature of work

the globalization of business

the structure of organizations

workforce diversity

human resource management systems

theoretical and empirical advances in the research literature

technological innovations in assessment
