Assessment services

Everything we do is based on ongoing in-depth workplace research we’ve been conducting since 1993.
We utilize proprietary benchmark survey instruments, focus groups, and interviews to customize
management-practices assessments and soft-skills-gap assessments for any organization, team,
individual, or category of individuals.

Assessment deliverables typically include:

• Comprehensive written reports and verbal briefings
• Strategic risks and opportunities
• Specific targeted development needs
• Clear recommendations and next steps for development

Scope & proposal: Assessment scope and fees are customized based on your audience, objectives, timeline, and depth of analysis.
We’ll recommend the right approach after a discovery call.

Evidence-based content

Based on our decades of research, we’ve generated dozens of white papers, hundreds of articles, and 21 books
focused on topics including generational change in the workforce, organizational culture, recruiting/retention,
communication, collaboration, succeeding in a matrixed organization, career management, self-management,
followership, and leadership/management/supervision.

Among our most requested programs, we call “back to fundamentals, supportive, coaching-style leadership”
as developed in Bruce Tulgan’s best-selling books and programs, including
It’s Okay to Be the Boss, The 27 Challenges Managers Face, Fast Feedback,
Hot Management, It’s Okay to Manage Your Boss, and The Art of Being Indispensable at Work.

Our content is available for license and customization by your training professionals, on your internal learning
management system, and/or through any of our delivery options below.
