The Successful Executive on-line combines the expertise of PDI and the management book synopses of Manageris.



Personnel Decisions International (PDI), a global management consultancy, has been providing business solutions for the last 35 years. We partner with our clients to help them achieve meaningful results by aligning their corporate and HR strategies. We support our clients throughout our 31 permanent offices worldwide that can work in 18 different languages. Seventy
per cent of Fortune 1000 companies have been partnering with PDI.

We deliver processes in which we partner with our clients to:
Develop Managers, Hi-Potentials and Executives.
Manage the succession process for the key roles in the organization.
Manage the Human Capital factor in mergers, acquisitions and restructuring.

The key to PDI's success has been a consultative approach; one which draws upon the visionary thinking of the organization and builds the required performance model to ensure the effective implementation of corporate strategy. This process of change invariably uses PDI's DEFINE, MEASURE and DEVELOP model as a template to achieve transformation:
DEFINE the links between the company strategy and the competencies and behaviors that Managers and Executives will need to demonstrate and apply in their daily work to make the strategy successful.
MEASURE objectively individual and collective capabilities vis-à-vis
the organization needs and expectations.
DEVELOP individual and team strengths, and work on their development
needs to allow individuals and the organization to reach their objectives.

We deploy our activities through practices, services and tools developed and
validated on a global scale. These practices, services, and tools enable
the identification of critical human capital, the establishment of dynamic
competency models, the design and deployment of development and assessment
centers, as well as 360° tools. We also provide coaching and training
services.

Since 1992, Manageris has specialised in monitoring and capturing the most innovative management ideas. It aims at contributing to management performance through a range of services:

Manageris Synopses of the best business books help keep up with the best management ideas. They are read each month by tens of thousands of executives.
Manageris custom designed on-line solutions help strengthen management development programs in close to two dozen large accounts.

Manageris works with the support of two complementary networks:
Seasoned executives, who write the Manageris Synopses. They possess the experience to identify which ideas other executives can really act upon to improve performance.
Professors from the most prestigious business schools in North America (e.g. Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, etc.) and Europe (INSEAD, London Business School, IMD, etc.). They contribute to the selection process and write critical reviews of the books selected.
