The Human Capital Initiative is the First Company to Offer the Birkman Method “On Demand”

The Human Capital Initiative (HCI) is excited to announce the launch of “Birkman on Demand,” an affordable, online personality assessment to help individuals identify their strengths, areas for growth and assist companies in creating powerful teams. HCI is the first consultancy to offer the test through a new, easy-to-use online platform that ensures fast, accurate results. http://www.humancapitalinitiative.com/birkman-on-demand/

For the first time in 60 years, the Birkman Method is just a mouse click away. On November 8, 2011, The Human Capital Initiative launched its Birkman on Demand portal, allowing users to get the full benefit of the robust personality assessment starting at just $38.

“In 1999, I learned about the Birkman Method®. I was stunned by its accuracy and the depth and breadth of information. It allowed me to understand myself and those I was leading without the guess-work and trial and error,” said Ed Chaffin, President, The Human Capital Initiative. Today, Chaffin and the team at HCI are thrilled to bring this excellent assessment to everyone.

In today’s economic climate, executives, managers and small business owners are tasked with creating more with less and leading highly effective teams.  Birkman on Demand is an ideal tool for businesses, non-profits, churches, schools, families and individuals looking to learn more about themselves and each other.

Understanding what I do and how I do things is important. Even more significant is why I do what I do. This is the unseen world that is most difficult to identify and articulate. The Birkman Method put all this in language I could understand which transformed how I operate and relate to people. – B. Spencer, Entrepreneur

The price-point and speed of this new “on demand” system allows for just that. Unlike many other personality assessments, The Birkman Method describes an individual’s interests, strengths, motivations and stress reactions and provides basic recommendations for developing skills to achieve goals and overcome obstacles.

“This project has been a labor of love. Dr. Birkman has been one of my heroes for a long time and I am so proud to be a small part of the dream he had almost 60 years ago to bring the Birkman Method to the world,” said Chaffin.

The Birkman Method® Personality Assessment Will Soon Be Available “On Demand”

The Human Capital Initiative is Excited to be the First Agency to Launch “Birkman On Demand” – Providing Comprehensive Behavioral Analysis to Online Users for Just $39.95!

September 27, 2011 – Today’s volatile job market demands that career hunters recognize what they can bring to a company and that companies understand how to craft powerful, effective teams. For more than 60 years, the Birkman Method® has provided assessments to facilitate just that; but it was an expensive, consultant-dependent process. The Human Capital Initiative is excited to announce the upcoming launch of “Birkman on Demand,” an online narrative version of the analysis starting at just $39.95.

“Dr. Birkman had a vision of creating an instrument that went beyond the standard reporting of our usual leadership, enabling us to see what our intrinsic motivators are and how — if they were met — our best, productive leader would emerge,” said Ed Chaffin, President, The Human Capital Initiative.  “With the launch of ‘Birkman On Demand’ we will help Dr. Birkman’s dream come alive for millions more people at a price that meets the market’s needs.”

Unlike most other personality assessments, The Birkman Method® describes an individual’s interests, strengths, motivations and stress reactions and provides basic recommendations for developing skills related to a wide variety of environments and people. Each assessment analyzes the way a person manages life and work situations, determining motivational needs and identifying ways to reduce stress reactions that so often damage relationships and occupational effectiveness.

Individual results will be provided in an easy-to-understand narrative format with simple directions for application in daily life. The Birkman Results Report will come in a workbook format, covering up to 26 topic areas including: Career Focus, Leadership Style, and Trust. “I have been exposed to many other assessments throughout the years in my leadership roles. In 1999, I was introduced to the Birkman Method® and my leadership has never been the same. I was stunned by its accuracy as well as its depth and breadth,” said Chaffin.
