MASPI

Developed by Roberto Vaccani at SDA Bocconi School of Management and used since 1995 at Bocconi University in Milan and in more than 100 major Italian companies, the MASPI model distinguishes between competencies and aptitudes. It compares a person’s psycho-attitudinal traits with those a specific professional role requires.

Hei pairs this valuable career self-assessment tool with cutting-edge technology, extending its impact on both organizations and individuals.

Based on psychology, neuroscience and neurolinguistic programming, it distinguishes between competencies (professionally validated skills) and aptitudes (personality traits that influence perception and action). Aptitudes develop from continuous interaction with one’s life environment and reflect individual experiences.

MASPI uses two models: a dynamic one that follows the decision-making process from listening to decision; and a static one based on brain physiology and divided into areas related to different types of intelligence (cognitive, emotional, motor and energetic), to improve selection and company performance.

Below you’ll find 16 short snippets in which Roberto Vaccani explains the theoretical framework behind the model in more detail.
