ASSESSMENT TOOLS

D.I.AL.O.G
Two critical questions that are often asked by senior management are, “How do we know that resources are being properly allocated, and how can we better utilize our limited resources?” Constant radical change, uncertainty, new rules and regulations, increased customer demands, and “alphabet soup programs” proliferate our daily business environment. How to manage it and how to thrive under these conditions depends a great deal upon how well your organization is aligned.

D.I.AL.O.G. (Data Indicating Alignment of Organizational Goals) is an organizational assessment tool that provides information as to how well critical elements are working together to achieve business and strategic goals. It also identifies which of these critical elements are working against you. Key activities include:

• Personal Interviews
• Administration of D.I.AL.O.G Instrument
• Scoring of Responses
• Presentation of Results
• Discussion of Positive and Negative Influences
• Provide “Gap” Analysis and Directional Recommendations

RAC Attribute Index
The RAC Attribute Index is a personal assessment tool that provides information as to how a person makes decisions: intrinsically, extrinsically, or systematically. It also identifies areas of strengths (maximizers) and areas of weakness (minimizers).

Our approach is unique in that we measure where an individual is now and what his or her essential elements are, and those can become predictors of future strengths. By understanding the way in which we think, it becomes possible to leverage that knowledge to make better decisions, maximize strengths, minimize weaknesses, and achieve greater successes in whatever we do.

COACHING
