  • Executive Assessment

    Our assessment process seamlessly integrates both qualitative and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive view of an executive’s strengths and opportunities for a leadership role. Qualitative validity refers to the subjective, non-numeric aspects of the assessment such as behavioral assessment interviews and 360° feedback interviews. Quantitative validity is gained with measurable and data-driven psychometric data from confidential online surveys and tools. With a history of dedication to continuous improvement, we regularly review and refine our assessment processes to ensure they remain valid and aligned with evolving industry standards. Our expert team of assessors includes psychologists, behavior assessors, and data analysts.

  • Data-Driven Insight

    We help leaders achieve their goals and aspirations and drive organizations forward. We have an unwavering commitment to transparency. We provide our clients with detailed reports that clearly show how qualitative and quantitative assessment data was used to develop data-driven insights. Recommendations addressing a candidate's or leader's strengths and areas for development are based on these insights. Confidentiality is at the heart of our assessment process. Our data storage and retention processes are in compliance with data protection and privacy regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and other relevant geographic or industry-specific laws. Beyond the expected requirements, we continue to uphold our long-term commitment to ethically managing sensitive data.

  • 360° | Stakeholder Feedback

    Identifying common themes from stakeholder feedback enables an executive to measure progress against the Development Plan goals and inform the Sponsors of where the executive needs to focus as s/he continues the leadership journey. Interviews will be held with a diverse array of stakeholder groups. All data will be analyzed, with 360° data calibrated to assessment data, and combined into an anonymized Executive Feedback report with strengths, development areas, and recommendations.

Is feedback an embedded aspect of executive growth in your organization?

Leaders benefit from a candid culture. Identifying diversity in leadership and surrounding oneself with individuals with different strengths and perspectives mitigates and balances an executive's overused strengths.

How do your executives manage their overused strengths?

Self-awareness is the first step to recognize and acknowledge one's overused strengths. Executives should reflect on their behavior and feedback from others to identify areas where they may be leaning too heavily on a particular strength.
