Basically I am my business so if I talk about my business here, you will get a flavour of what I am about personally. We build and manage all the diagnostics and development support systems that measure the people side of an organisation. We continually strive to manage the balance between simplicity, integrity and effectiveness to ensure the best possible value for every project we undertake. We will nearly always save you time or money and find ways to increase the value and and accuracy of the process for yourselves and your clients internal or external. We are best known for our 360 Feedback system and associated services. We believe that we provide one of the most fully featured and flexible services in the market, working closely with consultants, coaches and corporations within the Learning & Development market. We have been supplying online diagnostics and support systems for behavioural development since 1996, so although I hesitate to use the word expert, I would say that there is very little in the world of Behavioural Development diagnostics that we have not seen or done. We are the diagnostic service behind almost 100 Consultancies within the UK market so you may have enjoyed our service without ever knowing it. We have also provided our service to over 40 countries worldwide in 20 languages including Chinese and Arabic. I am lucky enough to work with some truly brilliant people (though don't tell them I said that) and some wonderful clients, which is one of the joys of working within a people centered market.
