We offer a constellation of legally tested and statistically reliable performance assessment tools.  The Birkman Method® and the Birkman® 360.  These tools identify person-job match components, interpersonal skills and morale and employee retention aspects.  The Birkman Method® is a multi-dimensional assessment integrating behavioral, motivational, and occupational data.  This business-focused assessment is developed from scientific methodology to enhance and predict interpersonal and occupational success.  The Birkman Method® is empirically created from the business environment for the business environment.  The Birkman Method® is comprehensive description of behavior with a corresponding comparison to others. The Birkman Method® is web-based platform for anytime and anywhere access, worldwide.

The Birkman® 360° focuses on nine important leadership competencies that drive work, relationships, and organizational success. These competencies relate to:

1. Strategic thinking and long-term planning for key business and
   organizational outcomes.
2. Engaging others efforts in support of goals and outcomes — communicating the vision, building commitment, and assigning responsibility.
3. Decision making, coaching others, and effective resource management.
4. Understanding the organization, customers, culture, and competitive
   environment.
5. Drive to pursue personal and professional development.

The Birkman Method® generates a human capital spreadsheet to reveal key strengths and motivations. Through a process of regression and factor analysis, the Birkman identifies a person’s everyday interpersonal style, underlying motivations, expectations and the signs of stress behavior and their primary organizational contribution.  It is used in pre-employment screening, executive coaching, team development, stress management and succession plans.  Administration of the Birkman requires the presence of a certified coach.

Ability Testing

Succession planning is not replacement planning. A replacement plan simply assumes that the organization chart will remain static over time. It looks for backups. 

In the rapidly changing global environment businesses must work in today succession planning must be a dynamic search for and development of new talent.  It must grow talent not build replacements.

Succession planning focuses on developing people to build a depth of talent within an organization to enable it to meet future needs that may not yet be defined.  Sure, replacements are easier to find when a succession plan is done.  But succession planning is much more strategic.

The Leadership Praxis process helps your organization;

1. create talent pools,
2. identify key performance metrics,
3. develop leaders throughout the organization,
4. engage effective mentoring models and
5. find the best talent for new needs. 

The search is not limited to “silos of specialization” instead the search broadens across functional lines to identify leadership actions and behaviors.
We help your organization define its needs based on a process that helps your managers/leaders think beyond the nearest planning horizon to work on seeing around the corner before your competition does and before that future crashes your present plans and leaves you scrambling for new approaches.
