Assessments

Most consulting firms take either in inside out or an outside in approach to development through feedback.  We do both and often integrate the approaches.  In addition, the proper combination of assessment instruments combined with Critical Behavior Interviews can provide a comprehensive executive assessment for use in the identification of high potentials.

We are certified and have access to several self reported and multi-rater feedback instruments.  In addition, we have extensive experience in their use so as to optimize the insights gained by our clients.

Self Reported Instruments using
Myers Briggs Type Indicator Step II – Support talent development initiatives with
insight using the world’s most widely used and highly regarded personality
assessment
FIRO-B – Support your team development initiatives with insight about what motivates behavior, especially in teams and small groups.
California Psychological Inventory – Provide valuable insights that support your leadership selection, development, coaching and performance improvement initiatives
