Hogan-Powered Succession Planning & Readiness
Data-Backed Solutions for Mitigating Executive Risk
The true value of Hogan assessments is realized when the data is applied to the organization's most critical financial and systemic risks. At Mindshifts.co, we understand that. We use globally recognized profiling tools—specifically the Hogan Assessment Suite and Hogan 360—to provide leaders with data-backed clarity on their strengths, derailers, values, and decision-making styles.
These aren't personality quizzes. They’re precision tools that unlock high-impact development and shape how leaders lead from the inside out and outside in. We use them to de-risk succession and accelerate role integration, and elevate leadership presence where it counts.
Internal Promotion
The Risk: A high-potential leader (e.g., VP) fails in a major promotion (e.g., COO) due to blind spots or derailer behaviors (e.g., avoidance or micromanagement) that only emerge under pressure in the new role. The organization loses a top internal talent and wastes the investment.
Hogan Value: We use the HDS (Derailment) to proactively identify these leadership-fatal-flaw indicators. The MVPI (Values) ensures their motivators align with the next level's strategic mandate.
Hogan bridges the skill gap between functional experts and enterprise leaders, ensuring the promotion's success.
External Senior Hire
The Risk: A costly external executive is hired for millions but fails within 18 months due to cultural mismatch, political friction, or misaligned values. This is a massive, highly visible organizational failure.
Hogan Value: We utilize the MVPI (Values) to conduct a Data-Backed Culture Audit against the organization's core drivers.
This objective data enables the transitioning leader to accelerate cultural assimilation and navigate politics, minimizing the risk of failure due to misaligned values or interaction styles (HPI).
Leading Organizational Change
The Risk: A major initiative (Restructure, M&A, Digital Pivot) stalls or fails because the executive leading the change lacks the strategic foresight needed, or because their team lacks systemic alignment.
Hogan Value: We use the HBRI (Reasoning) to assess the leader's strategic decision-making ability in complex situations. The Hogan Team Report diagnoses collective readiness and identifies systemic derailers that compromise trust. This ensures the leader builds a data-backed strategy to align team behavior with the transformation's mandate.
The Hogan Assessment Suite
Hogan offers a rare, integrated view of leadership—not just what leaders do, but how they think, behave, decide, and adapt in real time. Each tool reveals a critical piece of your leadership puzzle. Together, they create the foundation for future-proof transition plans and aligned action.
Furthermore, the 360° feedback lays the foundation for growth, credibility, and sustained impact. This is the data-backed tool, especially essential for succession planning, talent retention, and external hiring.
Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)
The HPI measures everyday leadership style and core strengths that predict success in the new executive context. It validates what others see when things are going well.
Hogan Development Survey (HDS)
The HDS identifies Stress Derailers—the patterns and behaviors that emerge under pressure, which, if left unchecked, will compromise executive credibility and derail a transition. It reveals where leadership fails.
Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI)
The MVPI brings forth the underlying drivers and culture a leader will foster. It provides critical clarity on alignment with the team and organizational values, which is essential for successful integration.
Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) & Judgement
The HBRI, combined with Judgement, helps understand a leader's strategic reasoning style (tactical vs. global thinking) and decision agility. It provides data on how they solve complex problems and adapt their thinking to lead organizational evolution.
Hogan 360
The Hogan 360 provides essential insights into a leader's credibility, influence, and executive presence—how others truly experience their leadership. It bridges the critical gap between self-perception and observed behavior, providing the data needed for strategic course correction during integration.
Hogan Team
The Team Report is a crucial diagnostic tool for cohorts and executive teams. It goes beyond individual personality to map collective strengths, systemic blind spots, and cultural values that drive or derail group performance. This report is essential for accelerating integration post-merger or restructuring, identifying systemic derailers that compromise trust, and guiding the leader in building a data-backed strategy to align team values and behaviors with the transformation's mandate.
Getting Started:
Your Strategic Path to Clarity
1: Schedule Your Alignment Call
Select the right profiling tool(s) based on your organizational mandate. We ensure the diagnostic administered is perfectly aligned with the strategic challenge you need to solve or addresses your most critical business priorities.
2: Complete the Executive Profiling
Your leaders will be set up to complete the designated Hogan assessment(s) online (typically 20–40 minutes each).
3: The Debrief: Translate Data to Strategy
A 90-minute Strategic Debrief with me.
This is where the true value lies. Unlike other reports, the Hogan data have countless variations and interpretations (due to the multiple scales, subscales, and tool combinations). The debrief is not standardized; it is context-specific. We translate the data into actionable leadership protocols and a clear Transition Strategy tailored to your unique role, industry, and organizational mandate.
