BEHAVIORAL AND COGNITIVE COMPETENCIES  ASSESSMENTS

We scientifically measure your organization's capacity for change, by modeling the behavioral and relational skills of its members.

Only what can be measured can be controlled

Our methodology

Research-based organizational change enablement diagnostics.

We objectify the ability of leaders and organizations to deal with change and uncertainty, through psychometric tests of behavioral and relational skills.

Change Fit®

Why assess?

The dominant evaluations in leadership development are based on two scientific impasses: personality trait tests, which measure stable undevelopable attitudes, and evaluations of vague constructs (“leadership”, “agility”) that aggregate heterogeneous dimensions without allowing targeted action.

Change Drag®

What organizational constraints are concretely holding your teams back?

Asking for greater agility from teams that are constrained by unidentified factors is like asking them to run with weights chained to their ankles. The Change Drag® Diagnostic brings objectivity to structural barriers (overload, role conflicts, conflicting directives, shifting priorities) that cap performance regardless of individual capabilities. It turns a vague, collective feeling into a concrete, prioritized focus for managerial action.

Change Skills®

Do your teams master the behavioral skills required for change?

Our Change Skills® diagnostics establish the behavioral and cognitive baseline of your teams on a specific competency: resilience, agility, psychological safety, collective intelligence, adaptive leadership, and more. Embedded at the start of each Change Skills® program, they calibrate the intervention and make progress measurable at the end of the journey. They are also available as standalone assessments when measurement is needed ahead of program-related decisions.

impact of programs

An impact validated by research in organizational psychology

A systematic review of 14 studies (Sarkar & Fletcher, 2015) shows that cognitive resilience programs significantly improve the mental well-being (d=0.78) and behavioral performance (d=1.0+) of employees.
