The Birkman® Method
Placement and CompatibilityAll businesses are dependent on people management, and this is the tool that can help with hiring the right people, putting them in the right positions and developing them. We also use it for team building and conflict resolution.
Intro
Personality and occupational data to help understand an individual’s unique behavior.
The ‘Birkman’ instrument was developed during WWII to typify a successful pilot (i.e. one who could think quickly, was flexible in the decision making process, did not make decisions based on emotion, etc.) who would therefore save the aircraft and the lives of those onboard. It has since been continually refined through the years by teams of PHDs.
It provides personality and occupational data to help understand an individual’s unique behavior and work satisfaction across different situations and industries. The Birkman Method reaches further into personality than any other assessment, allowing for individuals to truly understand not only who they are, but why. It is extremely beneficial on a personal level.
We use it predominantly for placement and compatibility purposes. We assess a candidate, not only for their compatibility with the job but, for their compatibility with the team and the company culture. It is extremely beneficial when looking at the management styles of the team members.
All businesses are dependent on people management, and this is the tool that can help with hiring the right people, putting them in the right positions and developing them. We also use it for team building and conflict resolution.

Testimonial
“…Over the past two years, we’ve seen turnover rates in our executive leadership team drop to 0% with internal surveys indicating our team is very satisfied working within our organization. Our teams sincerely appreciate the professional development opportunities we offer through Gershen Consulting not only in our group seminars, but in the one-on-one sessions with Patti and Barney. As a leader of an executive team that delivers consistently on very high expectations, there is no doubt that integrating and investing in the Birkman assessment along with the continuous education about the assessment has been a key factor in our success.”
