Performance DNA™

Identify, Prioritize & Calibrate Performance Criteria

Today’s Business Challenge

Most organizations can relate to today’s challenge: To produce more with fewer people for customers who demand more for less. However, in order to overcome this challenge, an organization must be able to hire, discover and retain top talent. To do this, you need a system for analyzing the unique configuration of each individual that allows you to really understand performance issues and leverage your top talent to overcome today’s challenge.

The Performance DNA system reveals the how, why and what of individual performance. This is accomplished through an assessment of the BEHAVIORS people bring to the job, the VALUES that motivate people to do a job, and PERSONAL SKILLS mastery. As a job-benchmarking tool, the same three areas are used to measure the requirements of the job, providing a complete system to compare talent to the position and create the best job fit. The Performance DNA system can identify, prioritize and calibrate performance criteria that will help you overcome today’s challenge.

Behaviors: The How

Knowledge is the biggest modifier of behavior. With the behavioral results from a Performance DNA assessment, individuals can learn to understand, appreciate and adapt their behavioral style. Based on the DISC theory, behavior is measured in four dimensions: dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance. The results will enhance the hiring process by revealing how an individual will perform and empower individuals to communicate effectively through behavioral coaching.

Values: The Why

Values are our window to the world, the drivers of our behavior - what motivates our actions. Values are measured in six areas: theoretical, utilitarian, aesthetic, social, individualistic and traditional. With the knowledge of values, you can encourage employees in a way that satisfies their inner drive right from the start. The results will benefit both hiring and coaching initiatives by revealing why an individual acts the way they do, or what motivates their behavior.

Personal Skills: The What

Through a Personal Soft Skills Inventory, the Performance DNA Talent Report describes what an individual “has done” in 23 research-based capacities, or personal skills, which are directly related to the business environment. This tool analyzes each capacity on three levels: mastery, some mastery and no mastery. The assessment results rank the individual on a 10-point scale that reveals their biggest strengths on the job and highlight the areas where they are most effective. When used as a benchmarking tool, this component helps ensure the inherent skills of each individual match the soft skills required by the job.
