Facts About DDI

PROVEN Leadership, Workforce, Teams, and Customer Service Training

> DDI has trained and developed nearly 16 million leaders worldwide. Each day, more than 1,500 leaders benefit from one or

more of our leadership systems. Their newly acquired skills have influenced the work lives of more than 210 million people.

> Organizations have hired nearly 24 million people using DDI’s selection systems.

> DDI has worked with organizations in every industry, including manufacturing, health care, government agencies,

finance/insurance, aerospace, pharmaceutical, technology, telecommunications, and consumer goods and services.

People make or break an organization’s success. When leaders inspire others, coach, build trust, and drive individual and team performance, organizations thrive. When workers readily collaborate, take initiative, make effective decisions, and embrace change, organizations prosper. When service providers listen with empathy and take responsibility for meeting customer needs, they build loyalty. And when these groups falter, organizations falter too.

DDI’s leadership, workforce, and customer service courses help ensure that your people are highly competent and are a true competitive advantage for your organization. Choose from a range of courses that, when taken together, let you strengthen overall performance or, when taken selectively, let you pinpoint areas to improve. A needs analysis allows you to focus your program selection and then measure the impact of your development through re-assessment.

DDI’s courses are:

> Thoroughly proven to build specific, job-

critical competencies and promote

positive behavior changes that lead to

better job performance. Other training

programs might have similar

names, but DDI’s are continuously

researched, tested, and improved.

> Flexible to meet your needs.

Content suits both manufacturing and

service/professional and health care

environments. MEMBER: DDI EDUCATION PARTNERS’ NETWORK
