“OSI’s Polaris Competency Model is the best model I have seen and used for building a leadership pipeline. This is a model for organizations large and small looking to successfully develop leaders at any level. The model can be customized to fit your organization’s needs. It’s user friendly format allows managers to navigate through the leadership development process without being a drag on success (like other competency models I have reviewed).”

“Bruce Griffiths and his team have been connected with us at Nike for almost 15 years now. They have partnered with us to create some very lasting processes and tools that are still very much a part of our HR practices here. The competency model is the base for all of this. From that, several programs have grown including Competency Based Selection (used by all managers across the globe) and a comprehensive 360 review. OSI had also created for us a “Line of Sight” program which took hi-potential executives through a financed-based simulation. The fact that most of these programs are still in use are a true testament to OSI’s ability to understand, connect, and provide solutions.”

“Bruce is the consummate organizational development professional, with the ability to effectively blend science with craft. I worked directly for Bruce in the 1990’s at Organization Systems International and have continued to leverage his knowledge, expertise and counsel to this day. Bruce combines his deep expertise in OD with a broad-based business sense that makes him extremely effective at what he does. He can help an executive team develop high level strategy, and is grounded enough to help the same executives develop the operating mechanisms to turn the strategy into results. I was always impressed with Bruce and OSI’s ability to deliver world class development programs to Fortune 100 clients (e.g., assessment centers, simulations, development programs, etc.), while at the same time providing local, small business owners with the support necessary to take their business to the next level. I highly endorse Bruce and Organization Systems International. ”

Executive / Leadership Coach

“I think that the Polaris connection to the Leadership Pipeline is a powerful one, especially in organizations looking to create that pipeline and a tool that supports each transitional phase. The Polaris tools are well designed and validated and easy to use and I know how long it takes to get to that point!”

We’ve worked with Bruce Griffiths and OSI over the last 7 years and they’ve provided us a customized, comprehensive Competency Profile, 360 degree Feedback Survey, Competency Development Guide, and Competency-based Interviewing Questions. These tools have really helped State Auto integrate our competencies into our culture, and we use them for development, selection, coaching, succession planning and when creating job descriptions. They’ve been excellent partners!

I found the Polaris Competency Model by OSI to be very effective in support of hiring, training and leadership development. Best of all, it is simple to use and I haven’t found a better product that is also backed by great service.
