In 1964 Spherical Dynamics founder Michael Sturm began working
with different types of cognitive and emotional assessments. Since
then, Mike has refined and honed his approach to the field, creating
a unique portfolio of tools based on over 21 years of research and
testing.
Nearly everyone who completes Spherical Dynamics' short exercise
is amazed at the accuracy of its results. There is no magic or mystery
to its precision. Unlike typical tools that are based on psychological
or personality constructs, Spherical Dynamics measures behavior as it pertains
to applications in business.
The process is derived from Michael Sturm's
unique synthesis of business application needs, human systems theory
and the Gestalt Success/Satisfaction framework.
Extensive Research
Ongoing Testing and Validation
Spherical Dynamics' products are based upon more than 20
years of research and development, and 15 years of application.
The result is a unique portfolio of tools that have been researched,
tested and continually improved over two decades. The evaluation
and tools have been used with more than 10,000 employees of companies
such as IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, Pfizer, Hewlett Packard,
Liberty Mutual Life Insurance, Xerox Corporation, Sheraton International,
Seagate Software, Veritas, Security Plastics, the American Cancer
Society, and Kinkos. Educational institutions such as the University
of Maine, University of Massachusetts, State of Maine Education
department and the State of Massachusetts Education Department have
also used the assessment, as well as the State of New York.
Spherical Dynamics is committed to ongoing testing and validation
of its products. Heading this effort is Spherical Dynamics' Director of Research.
