The Define and Align™ Process

Businesses everywhere are seeking better ways to secure the talent necessary to their success. Jobs and the specific talents of the people who fill them are the unique building blocks of a company's success. But what talents does a "job" require for excellent performance? Only the JOB has the answer. So let the "job talk" and listen carefully. The revolutionary Define and Align System enables businesses to benchmark jobs and access the talents they require for maximum performance. The process can be applied and reapplied to any job, anytime in a constantly changing business environment.

Step One : Benchmark the Job

Key Accountabilities

The Define and Align process begins with a list of "key accountabilities" of each targeted job. Key accountabilities are the critical goals and key business successes the job is accountable for producing. When defined, they serve as a reference point in producing the Define and Align Job Report.

Define and Align Job Report

The Define and Align Job Report is a job benchmark. It provides a template for specific talent selection for the successful performance of that job. Based on a unique 37 factor analysis, the Define and Align Job Report lists the job's requirements into three separate talent categories: rewards/culture, behavioral traits and job attributes.

Step Two: Assess Personal Talent

Many interviewers agree that the interview process is minimally effective at best. What is needed is an unbiased assessment that reveals people's VALUES that motivate them to do a job, the BEHAVIORS they will bring to the job, and whether they have the specific talents or ATTRIBUTES needed for the job.

Define and Align Personal Talent Report

The Define and Align's Personal Talent Report provides a summary of a person's talent to match the identical areas outlined in the Define and Align Job Report. Within the framework of a company's overall selection and development processes, this report reveals the WHY (values), HOW (behaviors) and WHAT (attributes) an individual can contribute to a job.

Step Three: Match the Talent to the Job

The right TALENT in the right JOB spells success! The Define and Align System enables companies to replace common biases often involved in the selection process with factual data based on JOB REQUIREMENTS.
