Pace Productivity

Pace Productivity, founded in 1989 in Toronto, specialises in the measurement and improved utilisation of workforce time. Their TimeCorder device provides a robust and simple system to enable employees to track the way in which they spend their time at the touch of a button.

TimeCorder enables organisations to better understand which activities are being given priority by employees, helps identify barriers to productivity and enables employees to better manage their time. It has been deployed by organisations such as Eli Lilly, Starbucks and Bank of Nova Scotia.

TimeCorder is a valuable tool in PI Consulting’s process and performance improvement toolkit which can be used to compare productivity across an organisation and to benchmark against Pace Productivity’s extensive performance database, providing an evidence-base for improvement initiatives or automation projects.

TimeCorder can be used in any employee activity setting including manufacturing, back office functions, call centres, retail outlets, salesforce, project teams and administration.

Human Synergistics International (HSI)

HSI was established in the USA in 1970 and HSI instruments have been used throughout the world by 100s of leading international organisations. They are now available in many of the world’s major languages. HSI instruments have provided high-quality assessments and simulations for leaders, individuals, teams, and organisations for almost 40 years.

Probably best known for their Organisational Culture® and Organisational Effectiveness® Inventories, HSI’s emphasis on measuring the relationship between values, human behaviours and organisational performance has enabled millions of individuals to improve self-awareness and thousands of organisations to understand their operating culture and its relationship to outcomes such as: growth; profitability; employee satisfaction; teamwork; quality of service; customer perceptions; and, overall organisational effectiveness.

One of the key differentiators of HSI instruments is the way they link leadership behaviours and organisational systems with operating culture and therefore enable leaders to understand how their own behaviours, leadership strategies and organisational systems reinforce and encourage particular cultural norms.

The use of the HSI cultural and organisational diagnostics and the leadership impact inventories provide a very strong evidence base for a programme of cultural change and transformation.

HSI and their organisational development instruments complement and support PI Consulting’s leadership development, cultural change and organisational transformation services.
