About
Ability Map Pty Ltd was established in 2014 in Sydney, Australia.
Our Story
This perpetual one third problem continues to be reinforced by research from EY, Schmidt & Hunter and Bersin.
If a company offering only satisfied customers 68% of the time, the company would be out of business. So why has industry accepted this as a satisfactory performance level for our people? More importantly, why have we built our operations around this mediocre expectation?
The Problem
The root cause of this one-third problem is there are no tools that accurately identify the actual drivers of high performance for specific roles within unique corporate cultures. Current systems are plagued by subjectivity and bias and until it is addressed, significant variability in performance will continue across our workforces.
AbilityMap was founded to fix this problem
Removing subjectivity and bias from Talent Management and Acquisition programs requires an objective, scientific method to quantitatively evaluate jobs and people.
Our Mission
AbilityMap’s founding mission is a ‘commitment to pursue improved human productivity & satisfaction’. Our business intelligence platform gives leaders unique insights into driving productivity, representing a major breakthrough in people-performance analytics.
