Fall PI® User Group Meeting a success!
 |
 |
The Fall PI® User Group meeting was held at the Toromont CAT facility in Concord (north of Toronto) on October 13. The session was attended by 14 trained GTA area PI analysts. The Facilitator Bob Woodcock led with a well-received talk on the opportunity to leverage assessments in greater depth. Bob cited two studies showing that now 61% of Canadian businesses are using at least one assessment. The report also showed that companies are now exploring additional uses for assessments like Predictive Index® outside of just hiring. Talent development and succession planning were amongst the top additional uses of assessments.
Deborah Bugeja, Talent Manager for Toromont CAT did a most impressive talk on how she has taken PI to new levels of acceptance and alignment with the "people plans" at this fast growing national company. Deborah wowed the crowd with how she has taken PI to line managers with a great hockey game orientation presentation and also how she has taken PI as the foundation for their high potential dashboard. It was wonderful to see this PI community leader showcase what we call 'next practice' for PI. The other PI analysts were seeing ideas that they could take back to transform their own businesses.
The introduction of the new PLI™ was discussed and how it relates to PI, the introduction of the new second phase performance dashboard and also we talked about the upcoming huge improvements to accessPI™ and the new data modeling outputs that are on the way.
Big thanks to all who attended and our hosts at Toromont CAT were exceptional!

Children require extra time, extra monitoring, specialized medications, and caregivers with the skills and compassion to understand the needs of children.
That's why all children need children's hospitals. And that's why Foresters is proud to support children's hospitals across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom through Children's Miracle Networks Radiothon and Champions Across the United Kingdom programs.
Partnership Timeline
- 1990: Foresters begins supporting Children's Miracle Network by fundraising through the Bowling for Miracles program and other grassroots events.
- 1996-2005: Foresters is the title sponsor of the Children's Miracle Network Champions Across America and Champions Across Canada programs.
- 1998: Foresters becomes the founding sponsor and international underwriter of the Radiothon program in the US and Canada.
- 2007: Foresters becomes the founding sponsor of Children's Miracle Network's expansion to the United Kingdom, including support for Radiothon and Champions Across the United Kingdom programs.
Providing hope and protecting the future.
It's what Foresters and Children's Miracle Network share in common.
