Assessments

Assessments can mean the difference between your success or failure as a leader.

Leadership Development: The right assessment tools provide insight into behavioral and motivation styles and core skills and talent attributes. This information helps individuals clarify goals and target areas of personal and professional development.

Imagine:

  • You know exactly what to ramp up or tone down in yourself to get the results you want.
  • You know how to enhance your productivity and can achieve more in less time.
  • You understand yourself and others well enough to make every interchange a productive one.
  • You know in advance the people with whom you are most likely to have problems with and can turn those potential problems into communication successes.
  • You manage your relationships successfully–even down to key words to use or avoid.

Selection: Assessments and job benchmarking enable you to screen applicants and make the right selection from a qualified list of candidates according to a clear job profile.

Imagine:

  • Your employment ads use words that, in themselves, attract the people you want in the job.
  • You are so clear on what the job involves that your new employees start with a job clarity that normally takes over 6 months to achieve.
  • You are so clear on your new employees’ strengths that you can maximize their contribution to your business.
  • You know exactly what your new employees need to develop in the first 3 to 6 months, and you can give them measurable expectations.

Staff Development: Strategic staff development ensures your hiring investment and your success. Set your staff up to succeed: capitalize on their strengths and develop their potential. After you put a a talented staff in place, you then must give those staff members an opportunity and the motivation to continually develop as your most important resource. Strategic staff development includes individual development goals for each person based on his or her measurable strengths and limitations in relation to the job.

Imagine:

  • You know exactly how to manage your key talent to reduce turnover.
  • You know how to maximize the strengths of your staff.
  • You know how to minimize the limitations of your staff.
  • You know how to create a winning team!

TTI Personal Talent Skills Inventory®—The WILL of Your Actions

Personal Target Skills Inventory (PTSI) is based on the work of Dr. Robert Hartman who published Structure of Value: Foundations of Scientific Axiology in 1967. Axiology is derived from the Greek “axios,” the study of meaning or value, and “logos,” the study of logic or theory.

Dr. Hartman was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in axiology, leading to an understanding of what compels humanity to value what is good and peaceful.

The PTSI is a mathematically accurate assessment that objectively identifies how our mind analyzes and interprets our experiences. Patterns predict how we are most likely to react in any given situation. Thus, we can predict how a person will perform with the same accuracy with which a thermometer measures temperature.

The science of axiology enables us to identify our internal value systems and their influence on our perceptions, decisions, and actions. This process leads to an understanding of the internal value systems that influence our judgments and decisions, which translates into quantifiable scores that can be applied to the daily world. The result of the PTSI is a ranking of personal talent and skill attributes describing individual potential for workplace performance and measuring human value structure.

Unlike many other instruments intended for a clinical setting but adapted to a business one, the PTSI was designed for use in a business environment. Its overall intent, format, and output are specifically tailored to meet the needs of business managers and executives today.

The PTSI has been validated in over 28 individual studies conducted over 20 years by more than 19 separate examiners. The validations include:

      • Construct
      • Concurrent
      • Criterion
      • Face
      • Predictive

The PTSI meets the standards of the U.S. Federal Government Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Tens of thousands of people all around the world have benefited from the information provided by axiology. It has been used by large and small corporations alike.

Performance DNA: Identify, Prioritize & Calibrate Performance Criteria

Today’s Business Challenge. Most organizations can relate to today’s challenge: To produce more with fewer people who demand more for less. However, in order to overcome this challenge, an organization must be able to hire, discover and retain top talent. To do this, you need a system for analyzing the unique configuration of each individual that allows you to really understand performance issues and leverage your top talent to overcome today’s challenge.

TTI Performance DNA system reveals the how, why and what of individual performance. This is accomplished through an assessment of the BEHAVIORS people bring to the job, the VALUES that motivate people to do a job, and PERSONAL SKILLS mastery. As a job benchmarking tool, the same three areas are used to measure the requirements of the job, providing a complete system to compare talent to the position and create the best job fit. Together, TTI Performance DNA can identify, prioritize and calibrate performance criteria that will help you overcome today’s challenge.

Behaviors: The How. Knowledge is the biggest modifier of behavior. With the behavioral results from a TTI Performance DNA assessment, individuals can learn to understand, appreciate and adapt their behavioral style. Based on the DISC theory, behavior is measured in four dimensions; dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance. The results will enhance the hiring process by revealing how an individual will perform and empower individuals to communicate effectively through behavioral coaching.

Values: The Why. As a window through which we view the world, values are the drivers of our behavior, or what motivates our actions. Values are measured in six areas: theoretical, utilitarian, aesthetic, social, individualistic and traditional. With the knowledge of values, you can encourage employees in a way that satisfies their inner drive right from the start. The results will benefit both hiring and coaching initiatives by revealing why an individual acts the way they do, or what motivates their behavior.

Personal Skills: The What. Through TTI’s Personal Soft Skills Inventory (PSSI), the TTI Performance DNA Talent Report describes what an individual “has done” in 23 research based capacities, or personal skills, that are directly related to the business environment. Through the self-evaluation assessment of an individual’s own soft skills, this quantitative measurement tool analyzes each capacity on three levels: mastery, some mastery and no mastery. The assessment results define what skills an individual has exhibited in their whole life experience by ranking the individual on a 10 point scale that reveals their biggest strengths on the job. The top skills outlined in the report highlight individuals’ well-developed capabilities and reveal the areas where they are most effective. When used as a benchmarking tool, this component helps ensure the inherent skills of each individual match the soft skills required by the job.

Applications in Your Business.TTI Performance DNA will enhance the human capital management efforts in a number of different ways, including:

  • Job Benchmarking
  • Talent Selection and Retention
  • Employee Coaching and Development
  • Performance Appraisals
  • Succession Planning
  • Organizational Development

Case study: The team running a $2 million business fell apart one painful piece at a time. Turnover was high, gossip prevailed, customers witnessed ugly arguments, and there was even sabotage. Fixing this problem was like trying to undo a heart attack. Revenues slipped to $600,000 with expenses at over 60 percent.

We began a process of leadership development, talent selection alignment, and team development that turned the business around. We used assessments as our main tool to ascertain the right match for each job, target specific training and coaching needs, and uncover and offset potential communication problems.

Assessments give you information to improve your productivity and prevent costly mistakes.
