Russell Reynolds Associates and Hogan Assessments Announce New Partnership to Advance the Science of Executive Assessment

Russell Reynolds Associates and Hogan Assessments, has announced a global, exclusive partnership designed to increase the success rate of executive appointments and accelerate the development of rising leaders.

The partnership combines Russell Reynolds' depth of expertise in advising senior executives and boards on executive search and succession with Hogan's market-leading suite of assessment instruments, data assets and scientific acumen.

The firms will work together on a range of initiatives designed to drive C-suite performance, with an initial emphasis on creating a new, co-branded assessment approach designed to predict executive performance in C-level roles.

"The cost of betting on the wrong leader has never been higher," said Clarke Murphy, CEO of Russell Reynolds Associates. "That said, innovation in the executive assessment space has not kept pace with the rate of change confronting senior executives. We are excited to partner with Hogan – a true pioneer in the assessment field – to accelerate innovation and deploy new assessments that dramatically increase the success rates of executive selection and succession decisions."

The assessments will enable executive teams and boards to increase the precision of selection decisions and mitigate the risks associated with senior executive appointments.
