Business Consulting Services

Individual and Organizational Assessments
Our team of business consultants can conduct employee surveys, run focus groups, or administer a wide variety of standardized assessment tools and diagnostic inventories.

360 Degree Assessments
Our instructors are certified and experienced in conducting a variety of assessments that gather feedback about an employee’s management capabilities and leadership attributes from a sample of people who work with him or her. Clear and practical insight into how their self-perception may differ from the perceptions of others can help leaders at every level identify developmental opportunities, strengthen their skills and positively impact the organization.

"Coaching in the Competencies"
An International Personnel Management Association survey found productivity increased by 88% when coaching was combined with training, compared to a 22% increase with training alone.  Our team of certified business coaches works with individuals or small groups during the training process and/or as follow-up to optimize retention and maximize applicability.
