Success ProfilesSM

Success ProfilesSM is a comprehensive job analysis and competency modeling system that lets your organization quickly and accurately identify the competencies and motivations needed for successful job performance. A clear understanding of what defines a successful performer will assure you hire, promote, develop, and retain more of them.
Success ProfilesSM includes:
  • A streamlined process for getting to the right profile quickly.
  • Identification of four characteristics that describe the ideal candidate—work experience, knowledge and skills, personal attributes, and competencies.
  • A business-focused description of performance that operational users will adopt as a tool to drive performance.
  • Documentation of the profiling process and outputs to provide a legally defensible foundation for hiring and promotion.
DDI offers two Success ProfilingSM solutions to meet your organization’s competency modeling – Success ProfilesSM Card Sort and Success Profiles: NavigatorSM.

Success ProfilesSM: Card Sort
Card Sort creates an engaging job analysis process that is efficient, fast, and driven by your business needs. During the Card Sort process, work content experts sort through the deck to narrow broad concepts into the crucial challenges that need to be addressed in a role. The result of the process is a small number of cards that correspond to competencies and can be used to jumpstart your Success ProfilingSM process.
Each Card Sort package includes 5 separate decks of cards which are appropriate for different roles and levels within an organization, including:
  • Individual contributor
  • Leader
  • Executive
  • Organizational fit
  • Job fit
