Our Difference

Our Difference


The same talent management “problems” have occurred for the past 100 years: a high rate of selection, development, retention and succession failure by utilizing science based on anecdotal, descriptive and proscriptive data.  Chally’s methodology utilizes precise, actuarial and predictive science.

Our 5 critical points of differentiation are through a dramatically more advanced “continuous talent improvement” technology for measuring, tracking, predicting and greatly improving human performance.

1. Our Technology

Our technology produces extremely accurate and precise measurement with such high resolution that it far exceeds the traditional descriptive technology in its ability to consistently identify and differentiate the many very small but critical elements that cumulatively define the variations and types of human talent as well as the limits of an individual’s or group’s potential.

  • Using actuarial level procedures on collections of 866 data points that define an individual “talent DNA” analogous to our biological DNA

2. Our Reliability…

  • One data collection is good for permanent use… Convenient, Cost effective, Non-intrusive
  • Test re-test studies (true measures versus the typical mathematical estimate) confirm stability over time: Results typically change less than 5% change in real numbers. This results in little or no essential interpretive change
  • Personality assessment can change fairly quickly and fairly dramatically because these assessments can be influenced by situational circumstances or life events, but Predictive level Talent DNA doesn’t change.
  • Descriptive personality and other tests measures a person’s present “actual” i.e. present behavior or deportment, but cannot predict future behavior or deportment

3. TQM Approach

Chally’s TQM approach consistently identifies sources of error, that lead to either reductions in continuous improvement in human productivity in a work environment

On the job success is actually the elimination of failure factors. Our technology accurately identifies human error sources to permit “failure elimination” in human productivity.

Talent Analytics says: Reassigning or replacing the bottom 20% with just“average” competency levels will increase production by a minimum of 9% If we now train the rest of the sales force and get a 5% gain, we get an additional $5.7 Million

4. Actuarial Science

  • Reported and supposed predictive accuracy for descriptive tests do not pass the “placebo” standard and can be essentially explained by the experimenter bias effect underlying most hypothesis checks and typically represent only the most successful case studies. They usually do not represent typical or unbiased outcomes or effectiveness.
  • Chally’s non-manipulatable data collection system permits  a universally consistent  environment that requires no additional design, costly controls, or external involvement but still produces objective and dependable input data

5. More Than a Personality Test

  • Personality tests have been proven to be trainable in a law case
  • The Internet often provides “cheating” programs to defeat many descriptive assessment tools
