Executive Assessment is at the core of our business. Our experience with the individual growth needs of the managers and executives we work with has taught us the power of using well designed, state-of-the-art personal assessments. We have used several over the years, but find one to be simply unmatched in its explanatory power. The Decision Dynamics organization has developed and continually improves the Decision and Career Style self assessment. We use this in all of our consulting and educational work.
In addition, we believe strongly that the perceptions that stakeholders have of leaders at any level are crucially important to the career potential of those leaders. We have a series of proprietary 360 surveys that we use to help people understand what they need to do in order to become the best leaders they can be.

| Executive Insight Report | This innovative report derives from the Decision Style and Career Style Assessments, but presents additional measurements on emotional competence, tolerance of ambiguity and the like. This report compares the individual being assessed with the most successful leaders at that level worldwide. Over the years, we’ve used this tool to identify quality candidates for leadership position. We even have a turnaround leadership profile which is quite predictive of success. Profiles exist to help match the right leadership habits with each role. And as those roles shift through career movement, the assessment provides a touchstone to point the way toward required behavioral change to ensure success. |
