The Birkman Method is used in conflict resolution, executive coaching, leadership development, employee retention, outplacement, and teambuilding to:

• Improve Hiring Establish Good Job Fit Reduce Turnover Expand Sales Increase Management Effectiveness Reduce or Resolve Conflict Improve Communication Increase Productivity
• Facilitate Outplacement

The Birkman Method provides extensive, highly accurate portraits of preferred work habits and strengths, as well as behavioral styles and interests. A typical report--which may run 50 pages--also indicates individual potential for certain professional occupations and working environments, the support needed from other individuals, and the stress behaviors likely if these needs are not met. In addition, it provides a comprehensive profile of probable success at various levels of management, and of the ability to interact as a member of a team. This is NOT an assessment of individual psychological health, nor does it have a right/wrong or good/bad value system.

• Compatibility to Other Individuals or Groups

The Birkman Method recognizes that two individuals who act very much alike may be motivated by completely different methods, rewards and environmental stimuli. In fact, the way an individual behaves often gives no clue as to how he or she needs to be treated. Supported by a large database of occupational and behavioral information, The Birkman Method helps individuals understand, not underestimate their strengths, and remove pre-conceived barriers that limit their personal achievement and career development within an organization. It is an easy-to-use building block for positive organizational change.

Certain other instruments may emulate The Birkman Method in select areas, but no other competitor even pretends to offer its breadth and scope. Add to this the fact that this methodology was designed from the beginning for use in the business-industrial world, and the choice is clear --
The Birkman Method.
