Assisting HR Leaders in Their Trusted Advisor Roles
Leaders in Human Resources spend much of their time assisting and supporting key decision on people. In many cases, the process is highly subjective and based on extrapolations from incomplete data especially if the company is relying on mainly what's in their HRIS system. The missing data mainly falls into two categories- behavioral causal factors and job-specific benchmarks. We provide a people decision support system that works with your HRIS data to provide the appropriate data to support key decisions, strategies and actions in the following areas.
Succession/Talent Planning and Bench strength assessments
Leadership and key position development
Improving management effectiveness especially supporting emerging leaders
Our approach which has been used across many of the Fortune 1000 and Inc5000 including Microsoft, Progressive Insurance, Techstyle, MasterCard and Krogers. The key elements that need to be connected are organizational strategy, an understanding of threats and opportunities affecting talent, a BCF profile on each involved (leaders, potential successors…), strategic use of our 360 feedback system and an activity planning and resource system.
Our differentiated advantage is our data and our data driven approach which reduces the subjective, bias-laden approach still followed by many organizations which allows them to check off the activity but produces few benefits.
Insightful data on the culture and engagement factors that really make a difference in how you effectively lead and optimize a diverse organization using our validated DE/Inclusivity Assessment tied to our behavioral assessment

An accurate assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of any of your people relative to key competencies and to jobs to enable you to make better development and selection decisions and to better target investments.
The most relevant information on whether a person's behavioral tendencies are strengths or derailers in a given role-something most traditional methods fail to do.
