About PPI
We are all about assessments.
Assessment can lead to awareness, and awareness is the first step to implementing well-targeted actions that have an immediate positive impact on individual performance.
Our Story
Three decades of I/O psychology expertise
Founded in 1987 by licensed organizational psychologist Paul Connolly, Ph.D., Performance Programs was built on a simple belief: that the right assessment data, properly interpreted, can unlock significant improvements in individual and organizational performance.
Over nearly four decades, we have grown into one of the most experienced Hogan Assessment distributors in the world, serving hundreds of organizations — from Fortune 500 multinationals to mission-driven nonprofits — across a wide range of industries.
As an authorized distributor and certification training provider for Hogan Assessment Systems, we offer unmatched depth of expertise in applying Hogan data to real-world talent and leadership challenges.
