Most leadership development skips the most important step: finding out what is actually happening before deciding what needs to change. Integral Advantage® builds assessment into every engagement — not as a checkbox, but as the diagnostic foundation that makes everything that follows more precise, more relevant, and more likely to stick.
Our assessment portfolio combines three proprietary, psychometrically validated instruments — developed and continuously refined through our own primary research — with a curated set of third-party tools our faculty is licensed and certified to administer. Together, they give leaders and organizations a clear, evidence-based picture of where they are and what development will actually move the needle.
Assessments surface the leadership patterns, mindsets, and behaviors that are invisible in day-to-day work — and make them visible, nameable, and actionable. Participants leave with a personalized developmental picture, not a generic score.
Organizational assessments diagnose the conditions that either enable or constrain performance — strategic clarity, operational alignment, trust, empowerment — so development resources can be deployed with precision rather than guesswork.
Every Integral Advantage® program integrates assessment directly into the learning experience. Participants don't just study leadership — they see themselves as leaders, benchmarked against validated research, with a developmental roadmap built around what the data reveals.
Integral Advantage® has developed three psychometrically validated assessment instruments through its own primary research — each designed to address a distinct dimension of leadership and organizational performance. Unlike licensed tools built for mass distribution, these instruments were created to serve a specific theoretical framework, refined through field application across thousands of participants, and integrated directly into our programs and engagements.
They are not interchangeable. Each one answers a different question — about the individual leader, about the organization as a system, and about how a leader's brand is perceived and experienced by others.
Inception Mindset® Inventory
How do you engage complexity — and where are you in your development as a leader?
Most leaders have never seen themselves clearly across all four dimensions of their leadership. The Inception Mindset® Inventory changes that — mapping where you are across four interconnected horizons and five developmental levels, and delivering a personalized report that tells you exactly what’s next.
Free. Research-based. Instantly delivered.
Encompass360™
How do others actually experience your leadership?
Your leadership brand exists whether you’ve designed it or not. The Encompass360™ reveals it — through five dimensions, quantitative scoring, and direct qualitative feedback from the people around you. Not a ranking. Not a comparison. A mirror that shows you the leader others see, and a roadmap for developing the brand you intend to project.
Entrusted Empowerment® (E²)
What is actually holding your organization back?
Most organizational problems aren’t talent problems. They’re trust and empowerment problems — gaps in strategic, operational, or execution clarity that no training program can fix. The E² assessment diagnoses exactly where those gaps live, so development resources go where they’ll actually make a difference.
The assessments a firm can administer are only as good as the expertise behind them. Integral Advantage® faculty holds active certifications in a carefully selected portfolio of the most validated and widely recognized instruments in leadership and organizational development.
What you find below is not an exhaustive list. It is a representative sample of the tools our faculty is qualified to administer and interpret — selected because they complement our proprietary instruments, add diagnostic depth, and have demonstrated research-backed validity across the populations we serve.
