The Judgment Index™ is effective throughout an entire organization — from the boardroom to the mailroom.

Improved Hiring and Workforce Selection
A basic, straightforward and yet extremely beneficial service of the Judgment Index™ is to improve the hire / no hire decision.
Corporations often make their decisions based on interviews, resumes, skill sets, and past job performance. While those considerations are important, hire / no hire decisions are greatly improved when the measurement of judgment is included.
Some organizations use personnel assessment tools, the majority of which are based on some sort of personality profile.
Studies have shown that personality profiles simply are not a good predictor of success, whereas judgment is. Similar studies have also shown that interviews alone, whether structured or unstructured, are not highly reliable indicators of future job performance.
The Judgment Index™ is a predictive tool that can quickly and accurately measure candidate judgment using over 70 indicators.
Your Workforce Selection Process Will Improve and You Will Hire Better Employees
Promotion and Succession Planning
Proper promotion and succession planning is critical for the long term viability of any organization. The Judgment Index™ is extremely effective at enabling your organization to put the right people in the right place at the right time, and at all levels.
Values, judgment, and decision making ability become much more critical as a person moves further up the chain of command. The Judgment Index™ provides quantifiable, accurate measurement of judgment and decision making ability for use by executive decision makers, giving them a benchmark for effective promotion and succession planning choices.

Management and Leadership Development
There are many leadership styles; some are effective, some not so effective. The Judgment Index™ measures strengths and weaknesses in the values and judgments which go to the heart of leadership.
Armed with the knowledge of judgment capacities, leadership can be developed, strengthened and improved. Of perhaps even greater importance, senior executives will fully understand the values and judgment capacities of the people they lead. This never before known information provides insight into their team’s strengths and weaknesses and improves communication, problem solving, planning, and decision making.
Special Programs / Executive and Board Retreats:
The Judgment Index ™ and discussion of its findings is often the major event at executive retreats. Quite normally the discussion continues well beyond the conclusion of the event.

Reduce Turnover, Burnout, Back Door Attrition and Loss of Key Employees
If you’re tired of losing your best employees, the Judgment Index™ can help identify the underappreciated, bored, stressed and restless. Identification opens the door to communication and dialogue, which opens the door to understanding, and ultimately, to employee satisfaction and retention.

Customer Service
Customer service might just be the single most critical element in the success of your business. Seminars, books, consultants, classes, etc. provide volumes of information on how to deliver excellent customer service. However, predicting whether an individual has the judgment necessary for good customer service has been difficult. The Judgment Index™ gives you this ability and is a very accurate predictor of the special judgment capacities necessary for excellent customer service.

Safety and Risk Management
Safety and risk management failures can cost your business millions of dollars and even the loss of life. Legal fees, compensation claims, downtime, insurance expenses, penalties and fines plus the damage to a company’s reputation are significant.
Safety and risk management failures are most often the result of human failures. The human element in workplace processes must be carefully evaluated and assessed. People who exhibit excellent judgment capacities in the workplace will do more to diminish risk management exposures than any other single element of prevention.
The Judgment Index ™ is specifically designed to assess judgment capacity. In our risk assessment derivation, several key elements of judgment are addressed which have a profound impact on risk management.

The Judgment Index™ will help you to accurately measure the systemic judgment capacities of individuals. We are able to make accurate recommendations regarding long range planning team composition and effectiveness.

Frustration and Stress Reduction
The personal value structure is unique to each of us. Individual differences will often cause talented and capable people to clash. Frustration and stress result in lower productivity, morale and motivation, as well as a lower bottom line. Without exception, the Judgment Index™ fosters awareness, communication and an appreciation of different value structures, talents and capabilities. Little wonder it has been called an X-ray of the soul. Genuine and positive common ground is the result.

Mentoring Programs
Judgment can and does change throughout a person’s life. When individuals with strong judgment mentor and help those with weak judgment, the decision making capability organization-wide is increased dramatically. We can identify individuals who would make a good mentoring partnership. Strong results have been achieved in as little as one hour of mentoring per month.
The Judgment Index™ Will Pinpoint Mentoring Partnerships to Improve Organizational Judgment
