Executive Brief — Talent Engineering IP

Talent Engineering is using science and math to explain talent variance and accurately predict job performance. Talent Engineering Technology® is a proprietary, research-validated talent assessment-prediction-development system used globally to improve hiring, development, coaching, engagement, self-management, and leader development.

Six IP Components from Decades of Talent Research on High Performers

1. 1.

   Work-People-Environment (WPE) compatibility model is a framework for analyzing how value is created in any job

2. 2.

   Success Profiles identify what distinguishes top performers, compares people to those standards and prioritizes learning

3. 3.

   5-Level Measurement framework uniquely quantifies underlying causes of performance and job-person compatibility

4. 4.

   Domains of Genius identifies strengths, hyper-competence, and genius across Work-People-Environment variables

5. 5.

   Work-Life Success Formula provides a proven model and action plan for productive work-life balance

6. 6.

   Talent Analytics diagnoses talent job demands and compares people to these standards with predictive accuracy

What distinguishes our IP from other HR technologies is its ability to accurately predict performance, explain job-person compatibility, and improve employees' work-life success in any job. The scientific framework for this IP is a 3-step process:

1. 1)

   STANDARDS – set high achievable standards based on what distinguishes top performers in a job,

2. 2)

   MEASURES – quantitatively measure candidates and people in the job on the high performers' standards, and

3. 3)

   SOLUTIONS – focus development interventions on the measured gaps between people and standards

EVIDENCE OF VALUE — Alcatel, Hitachi, Johnson & Johnson, Nokia, and Texas Instruments issued us contractors' badges to deploy Talent Engineering Technology® globally to serve their diverse talent needs and improve their HR systems. No other HR consultancy can match our ability to predict performance and job-person compatibility as accurately or cost-effectively. One of our client CFOs independently documented $14M in bottom-line impact from a single deployment.

Scientific Origins – Practical Applications

Talent Engineering Technology® evolved over 20 years of applied research on what distinguished thousands of high performing employees. It was co-developed by a cognitive scientist, former VP-HR, professors, statistical experts, talent pros, psychologists, software engineers plus client users who took an active role in building, testing, and validating the 100 products in our catalog.
