"In my twenty something years as a recruiting and talent management professional, XC InSight has to be one of the better tools I have worked with. What makes this tool unique to the others is simply put in three categories:
- Seamless transition from selection to development: Most tools are clunky when it comes to using them in both selection and development. XC InSight seems to have tackled that problem and makes it very easy to customize based on the job family or specific position.
- The XC InSight system translated complicated competency models into a very simple and easy-to-convey format. XC InSight is very intuitive, but also utilizes the right mix of business acumen that makes it easier to train and debrief users regarding the outcomes obtained from the assessments.
- Utility
- Selection tools that can be customized to the industry, organization, division, or position.
- Development tools that can be broken down to various areas of competence which allows managers to focus and customize development goals. Leaders can utilize the data to communicate to their teams their management styles.
- Multiple team development uses.
- Provides focus for organizations that are starting from scratch and seeking direction."

"I was given the opportunity to participate in a 6 month executive coaching program at XB Consulting. The program coincided with a recent reorganization and was successful in helping me develop strategies to manage the considerable change in structure and roles from senior leadership through middle management. XB not only validated my strategic and tactical vision, my coach opened my eyes to other opportunities within the general business model. As well, I gained more confidence in my value in the company as part of the frequent review and measurement of progress. My coach was highly effective in working through issues related to dysfunction that resulted from the change and kept me focused on my responsibilities while encouraging me to stretch beyond my job scope. During this program my role expanded and my coach helped me through that change. XB was great in helping me develop my go foreword vision of the new organization I was responsible. I highly recommend XB in helping your organization go to the next level by coaching your key players."
