How We Got Here

 Founded in 2016 by Dennis W. Koerner, the company began with a clear vision: to leverage advanced data analytics to improve workforce performance. Early efforts focused on delivering assessment solutions and applying machine learning techniques to better understand the relationship between individual worker attributes and measurable business outcomes. 

 The company expanded its capabilities by developing and acquiring a suite of integrated software solutions. These platforms were designed to support the full employee lifecycle—including hiring, training, and performance development—while incorporating advanced tools such as video interviewing, skills testing, and a wide range of support programs.. 

 The organization experienced significant growth. During this period, the company broadened its customer base and made substantial investments in enhancing product quality, scalability, and automation. These improvements positioned the company as a more efficient and data-driven partner for its clients. 

The company launched Verbal Edge, an innovative avatar-based training and communication benchmarking platform. This marked a major step forward in leveraging artificial intelligence to improve real-world communication skills and performance outcomes. 

The company further capitalized on its extensive data assets by introducing advanced benchmarking services - BenchmarkPro. These offerings enable organizations to measure performance, compare results against proven standards, and drive continuous improvement across their workforce.
