Data Collection? Save Yourself the Trouble.
| |
| Why pay your consultant or internal project team to spend up front time collecting data that will only burn up hours (and fees) and inhibit the solution that you so sorely need? The time to collect data is during the assessment of the solution, not during the assessment of the problem. |

Don't Make Assumptions About Sales Candidates
| |
| I have previously shared many instance of sales candidate assessments coming to life with their emails, voice mails and interview antics following the taking of our assessment.

Employee Testing and Assessments

Leadership Takes Balance
| |
| The Wheel of Life is a workshop I have taught for years. It’s a personal assessment tool of the balance in your life, and your satisfaction and development in each of eight areas of your life.

The idea is to develop all these areas equitably to meet your needs. |

Risk Assessment & Analysis Techniques

| Risk assessment is an area of concern for all senior executives, but many mid-sized enterprises do not have the skills, processes, or tools to effectively mitigate risks.

Download & customize Demand Metric’s Risk Assessment Tool, Risk Mitigation Checklist, and Risk Analysis (Fishbone) Tool, and add to your skills arsenal. |

The 360 Degree Trap
| |
| Many organizations use a 360 Degree Assessment to measure the effectiveness of leaders. I have always been a proponent of this method as it provides vital information required to improve leadership and build trust. There is a potential trap in this method if the assessment is strongly linked to compensation. |

10 Reasons - Don't Worry When Sales Candidates Don't Take the Test
| |
| We instruct clients to have their sales candidates take the Sales Candidate assessment very early in the recruiting process. It's the first step after the client receives their resumes. Clients carefully spell out exactly how the entire process will work and explain that the assessment is simply the first step.
Recent statistics show that only 34% of the candidates are taking the assessment without additional prompts. Isn't that awful?
Maybe - let's explore it further.
