# See how people prioritise under pressure.

> In-basket exercises simulate a realistic workload and help assess how participants prioritise, delegate, respond, and make decisions with limited time.

Participants receive a set of messages, tasks, requests, problems, and competing priorities. Their responses reveal how they manage complexity, urgency, stakeholders, and operational trade-offs.

## Best for assessing

- Prioritisation
- Time management
- Managerial judgement
- Delegation
- Operational decision-making
- Stakeholder management
- Planning and organisation

## How it works in TAP

Participants are placed in a role and receive a full inbox of mixed-priority items — emails, memos, reports, and requests. They must process each item and decide how to respond, delegate, defer, or discard. Evaluators score decisions and responses against the relevant competency rubrics.
