Understanding people and data – making informed decisions

Hogan Assessments are easy to follow, easy to apply, and, compared to other methods, more considerate of a person's individuality. It should be emphasized that it captures not only one's own view, but also the perception of others: How am I likely to be perceived by others in calm and tense times? This is highly relevant to the increasing pace of change in organizations. All in all, Hogan Assessments provide a very good base for giving practical advice to managers.

In the certification workshop by Dr. René Kusch, this was conveyed in an extremely well-founded and practical manner. The examples were very memorable and always related to current topics of Generali in Germany, so that we were optimally prepared for our daily work. My team and I are enthusiastic about Hogan and RELEVANT and would recommend both at any time.

Fondsdepot Bank has been working with RELEVANT for more than 5 years in the area of human resources and organizational development. RELEVANT is all about personality, predicting workplace performance and "New & Humble Leadership". We used the Hogan Leadership Forecast series for each member of the senior management team to build their strategic self-awareness and plan their individual leadership development. We then identified the team's behavioral patterns and examined what these patterns meant for the definition and execution of Fondsdepot Bank's business strategy. This review has become an ongoing process. I highly recommend the coaching, sparring, facilitation, and consulting provided by RELEVANT. Without RELEVANT's support and targeted, effective interventions, our organization would not be at the level of sophistication it is today.

I have done a lot of personality assessments in the past. None of the results reports and feedback hit the nail on the head like the exchange with RELEVANT. I have also been able to take on the more sensitive topics with ease. I am very pragmatic and can implement projects quickly. After the feedback, I am even more careful to ensure that my projects are directly related to AdEx's strategic themes. The feedback conversation about my Hogan scores was an important eye-opener in many ways and continues to have an impact.

After a reorganization, my team more than doubled in size and our projects became larger and more complex. Clarity and focus were needed.

In the Hogan debriefing with René, one of the things we discussed was how my relationship-oriented leadership style enables me to make efficient business decisions more quickly without compromising the good rapport I have with my employees. We will only be able to master the challenges that lie ahead together as a team.

The sparring was fun and so specific that I was able to implement many things immediately.
