* PI licensees and consultants use the Predictive Index® (PI), published by PI Worldwide, as their consulting vehicle.
Cementing the relationships with clients are the 33 000 executives and managers who have benefited from attending PI Management Workshops.
PI Worldwide provides a full facility support service infrastructure for consultants around the globe, consultants, who in turn supply ongoing support to their clients.
PI Worldwide was founded by the late Arnold S Daniels.
Daniels’ goal, which remains core to the company's mission today, was to use the then-emerging behavioural sciences to assist managers in making informed decisions regarding people and the work they perform.
To evaluate Arnold Daniels contribution as a management consultant it is useful to refer to the wisdom of Peter Drucker.
• Peter Drucker defined management as: "...the ability to convert effort into performance."
• Drucker counselled that "good organisation structures will not just evolve..."
• He said: “No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organised in such a way as to be able to get along under the leadership of perfectly normal human beings"
Drucker gave us the definitions and theory. Arnold Daniels and his Predictive Index®, provided the "how”.
The Predictive Index gave us measuring instruments that provide quick, accurate and objective insights into people’s talents and how well they match the job’s requirements. And the PI Executive Education programmes provides CEOs and managers with the skills and knowledge they need to create that organisation of engaged employees and improved profitability and productivity.
Since 1955, clients who are the world’s leaders in shipping, theme parks, packaging, furniture, food and computers have been sending their executives to attend PI Management Workshops. Here they learn how to:
* Obtain, understand and use objective information about people and their work.
* Make informed and better people decisions.
* Structure an organisation to deliver the business plan.
* Retain and develop the talent required for sustained growth.
The longevity of PI, especially in a field notorious for fads and non-delivery, is unequalled in management consulting.
The Predictive Index’s impact on management around the globe continues to grow.
