Identify and develop your people with the Judgment Index™
A person’s value system is crucial in the choices they make. It evolves throughout our lives. Our values are the lens through which we see the world and make decisions. The Judgment Index measures how well developed and how well we use our values system to make good decisions. It is a tool based on science, math, and logic. Born from the work of Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Robert S. Hartman, the Judgment Index allows employers to clearly identify the values that are important to existing and prospective employees and through this can accurately assess their capacity for good judgment.
Recruitment
Successful recruitment and retention is more than identifying skills sets, qualifications or experience. While important, it’s about insight you can gain into other factors such as judgment under pressure, decision making, common sense.
Leadership and Team Development
The Judgment Index can identify those with the potential for excellence in leadership. Then you can set achievable targets in their professional development plan. It helps individuals become a better leader through measuring over 70 criteria. What’s measured, can be improved.
Team Potential
The Judgment Index can be used with a team to identify team strengths, weaknesses, frustration points, and imbalances in the team. A plan can then be developed to address these issues and quickly improve the team’s performance. It can also help assign roles that best fit with your employees’ individual strengths.
Now more than ever it’s time to lead with data
Creativity has always been at the heart of business, but until now it hasn’t been at the top of the management agenda. Creativity is essential to the entrepreneurship that gets new businesses started and that sustains the best companies. But perhaps because creativity was considered too intangible to pin down, it hasn’t been the focus.
The Innovation Index is used to find the individuals in an organization with innovative, creative, out of the box capacities. This assessment will help you recognize the individuals who will be strong leaders of change initiatives. It may also highlight areas where a team will benefit from training or where extreme stress may diminish creativity.
Insight will be gained into some fundamental questions:
1. To what extent is stress in your work culture diminishing the “energy” required to make innovative decisions?
2. To what extent is your culture advancing meaningful, purposeful work and therefore enhancing engagement, commitment and passion?
3. To what extent is your culture enhancing self-confidence and self-esteem?
4. Are you creating a culture in which workers are likely to give energy to what is really important or is your culture creating only urgent moments in which the “tyranny of the necessary” reigns?

How the Judgment Index works.
Because of the abstract nature of the words and phrases in the Judgment Index, it is near impossible to “game”. The phrases give little away as to a desired order and ranking and this forces the individual to reflect on their own value system in order to complete it. The assessment does not ask the individual what they think of themselves, it just asks them to think.
There are over 12 trillion possible outcomes from the Judgment Index and the results are shown in over 60 different indicators.
The Judgment Index is used successfully to save organizations money through a variety of methods; reduced staff turnover, improved hiring practices, improved customer service, increased sales, succession planning, executive coaching, better team decision making, increased innovation, reduced stress, identification of potential burnout, greater strategic awareness, improved company morale, etc. Depending on the needs of your company, the Judgment Index can be applied to benefit all of the above.
