Our assessment is complementary to other industry-leading assessments, such as DISC and Predictive Index (PI). DISC primarily assesses your communication style. PI primarily assesses who you are as a person.
Our Office Influence (OI) assessment analyzes and facilitates the enhancement of the personal and business attributes needed to maximize your client’s influence, effectiveness and productivity in the workplace. These attributes are divided into the following five categories:
| Internal Personal Attributes: | Who you are as a person |
| External Personal Attributes: | Your actions as observed by others |
| Professional Stature: | Your credentials, achievements, knowledge and experience |
| Interpersonal Skills: | Your ability to communicate with others |
| Business Skills: | Your ability at activities, such as negotiation and teambuilding |
The ability to influence other in the workplace is the tip of spear in all interpersonal business activities, including leadership, negotiation, change, sales, conflict resolution, delegation, and more. For example, negotiation is a highly interactive two-way type of influence. Sales is influencing customers to buy your products and services. The list goes on and on.

Based on Eric Bloom’s book “Office Influence: Get What You Want from the Mailroom to the Boardroom” and a survey done in cooperation with the University of Northern Colorado, our founder, Eric Bloom, identified 53 personal and business attributes that positively or negatively affect an employee’s ability to influence others in the workplace. The research is at the heart of our survey, assessment and 360 capabilities.
