Company Overview

DDI was founded in 1970 by William C. Byham, and Douglas Bray. DDI introduced the assessment center[1] approach for identifying leadership skills. Byham’s article, Assessment Centers for Spotting Future Managers[2] (Harvard Business Review), led to inquiries about the process, and later, Byham approached Bray about a partnership.

DDI later branched out into leadership development. It introduced a leadership development program based on behavior modeling: Interaction Management. DDI next created a stand-alone behavioral interviewing system, Targeted Selection, which ensures compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity laws.[citation needed]

DDI’s also works on new HR technology, methodology, and content, including mid- and senior-level development, online assessment for frontline and mid-level leaders, and best practices for succession management.
