Assessment of
Individuals, Teams and Organizational Culture

Accurate and nuanced assessment of people is a key leadership skill, and we are expert at enhancing leaders' perceptions and judgment.

Our tagline is: "When you need to get your people decisions right."

Many difficulties and problems in organizations can be traced back to a sub-optimal judgment about the skills, attitudes and capacities of people entrusted to do the job. Michael and his Associates have assessed thousands of people, and scores of teams and organizations, and we can help you make better people decisions. 


The Problem:

"We need better ways to understand what people are capable of doing and their motivations, which people would be the best fit for our jobs, and how our teams and broader organization measures up against our strategic goals."

Solutions:

  • Conduct rigorous assessments of candidates for jobs, as well as 360 Feedback with existing colleagues, to better understand their strengths and areas to be developed.
  • Utilize a combination of on-line, cutting edge assessment systems along with in-depth interviews and careful reference checking to have the most accurate data while balancing costs and efficiencies.
  • Support team and organizational leaders in giving voice to the concerns, perceptions, and suggestions of their colleagues through focused, relevant team and organizational assessments.

Pre-Hire Assessment

For Senior and Key roles, we offer in-depth assessments for selection and/or development, combining leading-edge psychological methods with real-world business concerns to help you make better decisions and develop leaders faster.

360 Feedback

We have helped scores of leaders design and deliver 360 Feedback assessments for themselves and their teams, from efficient on-line surveys to in-depth qualitative interviews. We support leaders in making the best use of their feedback to learn, change, and grow in support of their career and organizational goals. 

Team Assessment

We understand how teams succeed and we can help your teams reach their highest performance and add more value. We often focus on team development and team emotional intelligence. Our goal is to increase insight into the team's challenges and help members feel empowered to have the difficult conversations that remove blockages and return focus to getting things done.

High Volume Pre-Hire
Assessments

For fast-growing, high-turnover and/or de-centralized selection challenges, we can bring you the same technology and research that powers over 2 million assessments per year. Easily connected to HRIS systems, this software is optimized to enhance hiring and on-boarding processes for hundreds of jobs.

Enhanced Reference
Checking System

Traditional reference checking processes are time-consuming and prone to error and bias. We can help you streamline and automate reference checking, increasing predictability and efficiency while reducing costs, as well as adding to your pool of candidates for future openings. 

Organizational Culture 
Assessment

Understanding the motivations and perceptions of organizational stakeholders is crucial in devising attainable strategic goals. We can help you measure and deliver compelling results to show how organizational culture affects individuals, teams and larger organizational groups, and how to start conversations and make decisions to better align culture and strategy.
