Toolkits and Programs

As part of the SDW Advisory Practice, we have developed a complete library of surveys and assessments along with the related data. They continue to be used as an integrated part of our practice.

SDW Assessment Toolkits

This group of assessments is designed to fit the right employee into the right job. They can be used during the hiring process to identify the best candidates for a particular position. They can also be used internally to make decisions on promotions or transfers into other positions. Included in the group is a piece on interviewing as well to provide the client/licensee with valuable background training during the process.

Many employees find themselves promoted into supervisory or management positions with little or no training. The goal is to provide a new manager with the knowledge and skills to build on through experience in the job. These assessments are designed to identify any weak points in a new manager’s style and provide the data to indicate where training is needed.

NOTE: For the first time we’re making these products available for licensing both for internal use in an organization and by individual consultants for use with their client base.  

With this opportunity in mind, we have packaged our individual assessments into toolkits that work well together to best address the business at hand.  Many of the individual assessments can be found in more than one toolkit since their resulting data has a variety of applications.  Each of the assessments listed is also available individually.

Use of our products under a licensing agreement requires SDW certification to ensure that the client is getting full advantage of the assessments being used.  Please contact us for details.
