The product has been in development for 16 months, most of that time was spent researching and testing the concept and technology.

David explained: ”The basic premise of our supporting people approach is that accurate people management decisions are the most important and impactful decisions that a firm can make.”
“You simply can’t produce superior business results unless your managers are making accurate people management decisions.”
“A fresh approach to people management is necessary because innovations come from people, and you simply can’t maximize innovations unless you are capable of empowering and retaining innovators.”
