MDA’s assessment and development process is a true differentiator for us.  It gives us a window into how someone will perform in a real-world scenario before placing them in that situation. I value the ability to make smart decisions, reduce risk to our business, and help our leaders reach their full potential.

We learned that people who had been hired based on MDA’s selection assessments scored measurably better on MDA’s high-potential assessment than those who were not. We saw really clear evidence that sound selection assessments matter. They truly do predict leadership potential.
