The Need for Talent
In order to survive in today’s world, companies need specific recruiting, developing and retention techniques that will meet the demands of the new Millennial generation. The void being left by the baby boomers will be too great for the Millennials to fill, creating a talent shortage. Companies seeking the superior performers of tomorrow will have to act quickly, using effective recruitment and selection techniques to ensure getting —the RIGHT talent for the job.
Lack of job performance and employee turnover result in missed business opportunities and increased costs. It makes good business sense that managers are seeking better ways to accurately assess, develop and retain top talent.
Infocus uses the TTI collection of proven assessments to assist you in this endeavor. We use the their Success Insights collection to measure Behaviors (the HOW), the Values collection for measuring Motivators (the WHY) and the TTI Personal Talent Skills Inventory (PTSI) that assesses their natural Attributes ( WHAT they do)
TTI Personal Talent Skills Inventory (PTSI)
TTI Personal Talent Skills Inventory (PTSI)
The PTSI is based on the science of Axiology from the original work of Dr. Robert S. Hartman. An Axiology is a mathematically accurate science that objectively measures how the mind analyzes and interprets our experiences. It identifies how we are most likely to react in any given situation. These patterns are translated into quantitative measurements and scores that can be applied to the daily business world. The PTSI is unique in its ability to assess an individual’s cognitive structure.
Two Worlds in Three Dimensions
The PTSI measures a person from three different dimensions of thought and each dimension from two perspectives: External ( the surrounding world) and Internal ( the self view) which leads to 6 core dimensions::
- Systematic: The dimension of ideas, thinking and structure. Systems judgment and Self direction are measured.
- Extrinsic: The dimension of things, doing and events. Practical thinking and Role awareness are measured.
- Intrinsic: The dimension of people, feelings and self awareness. Empathetic outlook and Sense of self are measured.
This is the secret behind the ability of the PTSI to measure the core dimensions of how we think. The result is an accurate ranking of personal talent skills describing individual potential for performance. The overall intent, format and output of the PTSI are specifically tailored to meet the needs of managers and executives. When combined with an assessment of BEHAVIORS and VALUES, the PTSI will give you the third component that provides a complete picture of individual talent.
