STRATEGIC ACQUISITION
Performance Advantage is seeking a strategic buyer to acquire the entire Talent Engineering Technology business, associated intellectual property and assets.
The opportunity is for an established organization with the commercial reach, customer relationships, and infrastructure to integrate and scale the technology to better serve customers - beginning the first day of acquisition.
Acquire the Technology. Scale the Performance Advantage.
Talent Engineering Technology provides 3 research based tools to explain-predict-improve talent and performance.
3 components work together as a repeatable system, rather than as disconnected assessments or training products.
1. STANDARDS — Define high achievable performance
Using 5 levels of talent measurement (traits, preferences, values, skills- knowledge, behaviors) identify the root causes of high performance in each job. These become high achievable standards based on people who excel in the job
2) MEASURES - compare people to the high standard
Evaluate candidates and employees against the standards to identify strengths, limitations, compatibility, and development priorities. Objectively measure how each employee in a job compares to high performers' outputs, methods and talents.
3) SOLUTIONS - translate results into learning solutions
Use measurement results to support hiring, coaching, self-management, employee development, and improved job performance. The 3 components work together as a repeatable system, rather than as disconnected assessments or training products.
WHY AN ACQUISITION COULD MAKE SENSE
Potential strategic applications include:
- Talent assessment and selection: Add job-specific performance standards and measurement to existing assessment capabilities.
- Human capital management technology: Extend workforce analytics and talent decision-support functionality.
- Leadership and sales performance: Apply the methodology to roles where differences in individual performance can have substantial economic consequences.
- Management consulting: Add a science-based talent performance methodology to existing client engagements.
- Learning and development: Connect assessment findings to targeted development rather than relying on generic training programs.
