Portfolio of Tools

Much of our flexibility in developing customized solutions comes from the extensive portfolio of tools that we can utilize.  

Six Thinking Hats – Dr. Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats provide a framework and process for thinking that drives innovation and enables a practical, balanced and thorough treatment of any problem or challenge.  It helps you to move outside your normal patterns and to see different perspectives, helping you to make better, faster decisions.  The tool can be used by an individual but really shines in a group setting. 

DISC Behavioral Assessments - DISC is the universal language of observable human behavior, or “how we act”.  It is a person’s work style which affects fit to the job and job performance, conflict issues, communication, management style and a host of other personal and job-related issues.

Values/Motivators – Measures what motivates a person to act.  This information is critical to job fit and conflict issues and will have a significant impact on job satisfaction and personal fulfillment.

Personal Talent Skills Inventory^TM (PTSI) - The Personal Talent Skills Inventory is unique in its ability to assess an individual’s cognitive structure.  By analyzing the degree to which an individual focuses on each dimension of thought, we can determine a person’s talent skills and their potential for performance.  Most often, this is used for selection, development and coaching.

TriMetrix^® – TriMetrix is the how, why and what of individual performance.  It is a combination of the behaviors people bring to the job (DISC), the Values that motivate people and the personal/soft skills that are related to the business environment (PTSI). 

Job Benchmarking – We use a patented job benchmarking process that is both unique and effective because it benchmarks a specific job, not the people in the job. To do this, we let the job talk through an interactive process and job assessment.  To ensure the best job fit, we have many benchmarking tools to choose from.

Sales Skills Index^TM – Based on responses around “real-life” sales situations, this assessment covers seven different steps in the sales process (prospecting, first impressions, qualifying, demonstration, influence, close and general) to see how well a person understands the sales cycle. 

Performance DNA^TM – This system combines the behaviors people bring to the job (DISC), the Values that motivate people to do a job and their degree of mastery in 23 capacities directly related to business (Personal Soft Skills Inventory-PSSI).  The PSSI results define what skills an individual has exhibited though their life experience and reveals their biggest strengths on the job. 

Task Quotient^TM - The Task Quotient (TQ®) is a unique and simple online assessment that quickly determines what task types the job calls for and what task types the individual prefers. By ensuring a match between the two, you can create alignment between the job and the employee.

360s – A well-designed 360 survey provides unparalleled feedback regarding the effectiveness of another individual’s performance.  The results of 360 surveys are then used to enhance and develop the individual. We have ready-to-use assessments or can customize the survey to meet specific needs.

Organizational Development Surveys - Organizational surveys, customized to gather the right information, are a vital diagnostic tool to determine how organizations can improve to achieve employee and customer satisfaction.   Our highly customizable surveys serve as an effective alternative to the labor-intensive survey process.  You can choose the survey titles, content, respondent instructions, demographic filters, categories, questions, rating scales and comment areas. Survey results can even be viewed in a variety of report options.

T.E.A.M.S.™ Surveys  - A fabulous tool, the T.E.A.M.S. Survey was designed to help a group learn more about how it functions in order to address issues or enable it to develop into a true team.  The survey looks at leadership, process, work management and relationship issues to provide an accurate picture of the team’s development.

Managing Performance Priorities™ - Managing Performance Priorities allows 24/7 access to a web-based program where a manager and employee can simultaneously establish priorities. Tasks and priorities are submitted to the manager who then approves or requests revisions and makes any necessary comments.  Those with a vested interest can review the progress. At the end of the time frame the tasks are marked complete or incomplete.  A great time management tool, it allows a manager to keep people on task and gives employees the confidence that they are working on the right things.
