• TALENT ASSESSMENT TOOLS

    Better insight leads to better people decisions.

    Understand how people work, what motivates them, and where their strengths can have the greatest impact. Waypoint uses DISC, Driving Forces, and other talent and leadership assessments to help organizations make better decisions about hiring, team effectiveness, leadership development, and succession planning.

    Used independently or as part of a broader Waypoint engagement, assessments provide objective insight to support decisions across the talent lifecycle.
  • HOW WE APPLY THE INSIGHTS

    Support at every stage of the talent lifecycle.

    The same insights can support better decisions throughout the employee lifecycle — from selecting and onboarding the right people to developing teams, strengthening engagement, and preparing future leaders.
  • WHAT WE ASSESS

    Understand the whole person — not just how they behave.

    Assessments can provide insight into multiple dimensions of an individual — including how they approach their work, what motivates them, and the capabilities they bring to a role.

    Waypoint selects the assessment approach based on the question you're trying to answer, rather than using the same tool for every situation.

    BEHAVIORS
    How someone tends to communicate, respond, solve problems, and interact with others.

    MOTIVATORS
    What drives engagement, energy, and decision-making.

    COMPETENCIES
    The capabilities and skills an individual brings to a role — and where development can prepare them for what comes next.

    FROM INDIVIDUAL INSIGHT TO QUALITY OF TALENT

    Assessment data can also provide an important input into Waypoint's Leadership GPS and Quality of Talent (QoT) analysis — helping us understand individual leadership strengths, role fit, team dynamics, development potential, and capability gaps.

    QoT goes beyond assessment results, combining these insights with business context, leadership requirements, team effectiveness, capacity, bench strength, and succession considerations.

  • ASSESSMENT SCIENCES

    Different questions require different insights.

    Waypoint uses assessment sciences from TTI Success Insights to provide objective insight into different dimensions of an individual. We select and combine those tools based on the business, leadership, or talent question you're trying to answer.

    DISC - BEHAVIORS

    TTI DNA® — COMPETENCIES

    WHAT skills you bring

    Measures 25 personal competencies across areas such as relating, thinking, and working. Useful for development, career pathing, leadership, selection, and identifying skill gaps.

  • COMBINING THE INSIGHTS

    The right combination depends on the question.

    Different assessment sciences can be combined to provide a more complete picture of an individual, role, or team. Waypoint helps you select the right combination based on what you need to understand and the decisions the insights will support.
