The DeWitt Group is a leading advisor to organizations and executives emphasizing career, life, and business solutions linking individual executive effectiveness to organizational performance. We work at the interface of the executive and the organization.
Dr. Dan DeWitt and his associates in the DeWitt Group have been working with executives and organizations during times of change for over 30 years. For organizations we provide strategic human resource solutions that help them align their workforces to meet changing business needs. Our focus is on matching the needs of an organization to that of an executive's skills, experience and goals.
For executives we provide objective information and straight talk to help them more clearly identify what type of role and company they need to be at to be successful and happy with their careers.
We help both the organization and the executive identify what they need to have to achieve success. Some examples of our consulting over the past few years has been:
- A company was completing a senior level search and wanted an external assessment of their final candidates to provide them with objective information that contrasted their needs and culture fit with that observed in their final candidates.
- Provided individual executive coaching to improve happiness and performance of valued executives.
- Assessment and coaching of executives who thought their careers were stagnated and/or derailed.
- Evaluated a company's DE&I program and designed a structure that was more effective for attracting candidates that would improve representation as well as the retention of diverse executives.
- Coaching of executives going through career transition who wanted to have a better perspective on their skills, interests, culture fit and the type of company that would represent a good fit.
Executive Assessment
Research indicates that the most common method of candidate selection, interviewing, is actually the least meaningful way of determing the best person for a job. The DeWitt Group's executive assessments provide objective information using well-researched and standardized psychological inventories with behavioral interviewing to supplement a company's hiring process to help them think through and identify candidates' competencies. We reduce the risk of making a poor decision for the company and the executive.
Executive Coaching
Our approach to executive coaching is to understand an executive's strengths and to identify development competencies based on current job requirements and/or career aspirations. Based on these factors we construct an individualized program for the executive where progress can be measured and to help the executive improve selected competencies to achieve desired success.
