Introduction

Objective evaluation is not just a good idea. It's the single most powerful tool available to create a world-class IT organization.

Our Baseline Skills Assessment methodology is unlike anything anyone else is doing. We provide management an incisive, consistent, and accurate view into the specific strengths, skills gaps, and even untapped value of individuals and teams, dramatically improving the ability to plan and direct successful projects, and to provide staff with the support and tools they need to become exceptionally productive.

We have been honing our skills in evaluating technical people since 1989, to the point that our evaluation methodology became the "secret sauce" that has made Taos consultants into consistent overachievers.

Over the past few years, we've bottled that secret sauce: offering our assessment process directly to clients so that their own IT staff can become equally effective.

A Baseline Skills Assessment is more consistent, deeply technical, and methodical than programs that line-management or Human Resources are typically able to implement. It's designed specifically for Unix, Linux, Windows, Networking, and Database professionals. And with it you and your management team can save literally millions of dollars while improving employee job satisfaction and creating unprecedented operational excellence.

Each Baseline Skills Assessment engagement is carefully tailored to your particular staff and needs. Stand-alone, it is a tool with myriad direct and collateral benefits - such as making employee reviews more substantive and productive, providing opportunities for structure and workflow efficiencies across teams, and creating individualized and global learning plans. When paired with a Baseline Process Assessment and a Baseline Technology Assessment, a Baseline Skills Assessment becomes an integral component of a complete operational assessment.
