More than a personality test

Earlier this month Steve Hopkins of the Oliver Group presented a session on The Predictive Index to top producers at the GVA VAST conference in Austin. The Predictive Index (PI) is more than just a 5 minute personality test. The PI is an assessment to better understand yourself and your core operating style to the extent you are able to marry up your strengths with those that you work with and come in contact with (colleagues, peers, direct reports, and clients) to create better rapport, a better work environment, and ultimately better success.

The PI can be of particularly tremendous value to your clients. The insight gained enables you to better understand their needs, including what it takes to build rapport and trust, their sensitivity to risk, and their communication style.

Outcomes you can expect by engaging with the PI software:

• Improve hiring decisions
• Improved onboarding experience and process
• Increase speed of success
• Improved self-awareness
• Collection of people data
• Improved employee development
• Improved team performance & execution of goals
• Diversity of thought
• Understanding of organizational culture
