Vocable Assessment
Our principals embody a trifecta of qualifications difficult to find anywhere else.
Our competitive advantage in communication assessment and training derives from our principals, who embody a trifecta of qualifications rarely found in a single team. We are Ph.D. researchers specializing in speech and persuasion, award-winning professors, accomplished researchers, and expert communication coaches. With extensive real-world experience working with clients at the highest levels of corporate and political communication, we bring a proven track record of success. A prime example of how our unique combination of expertise drives results is the Vocable Assessment.
Our process begins with a review of your organization’s communication-relevant internal competencies.
We integrate those competencies into Vocable’s proprietary model, which includes more than twenty categories of objectively measurable communication behaviors, using data and technology to assess factors such as rate of speech, vocal variation, body language, linguistic complexity, and organizational structure.
We pair these objective measures with a series of qualitative factors, guided by our decades of research and coaching. These include audience awareness, efforts to establish shared values or common ground, and the effectiveness of interpreting complex data for diverse audiences.
With a customized model in place, we design speech simulations that mirror real-world business scenarios. Participants receive detailed business case materials that assess their ability to communicate persuasively with internal teams, external stakeholders, or any group critical to your organization’s success.
Finally, we observe the simulations — remotely or on-site — and apply our model to generate a quantitative report of speech behaviors. This report provides a multi-factor, empirically verified evaluation of performance, balancing both subjective and objective data to offer a comprehensive picture of communication strengths and growth areas.
As a result, we deliver high-quality, individualized programs for developing communication competencies — grounded in research, driven by data, and underwritten by our unmatched expertise and experience.
