Data-Driven Insights

SKS Intellectual Property Developed by Our Experts

Data is at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on providing data-driven insights to our clients so they are able to make better, more informed talent management decisions. Our doctoral-level consultants and HR data analysts have mined our extensive SKS dataset to build a best-in-class Competency Model and rigorous Leadership Potential Model.

The SKS Competency Model

The SKS Competency Model is an objective, data-driven model built by our team of doctoral-level psychologists and human resources data analysts. It is based on comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analyses of thousands of leaders in a variety of business settings. Leveraging decades of data and expertise, SKS Consulting Group built The SKS Competency Model on the following criteria:

  • Professional standards for construct and content validity
  • Attributes which can be measured reliably and accurately
  • Characteristics that matter most for success in a work environment
  • Appropriate for use across multiple applications – selection, development, and leadership performance individually and within teams
  • User friendliness and utility for both the talent management practitioner and individual leader

The SKS competencies are organized under four foundations of performance: Relationships, Results, Insights, and Leadership.
