Students who actively growing their influence are sought out by successful companies. These companies see the performance of your MBA students and hire from your program as satisfied alumni endow the program.

Presenting your influence strengths offers a competitive advantage. The KII™ is the first step in helping the student understand their individual strengths, allowing them to better present their aptitudes in order to shine.

Without an accurate benchmark of our ability, students operate on intuition, allowing fear, avoidance of conflict, and other factors to drive choices. The KII™ provides the student with an accurate, research-based picture of their influence blind spots.

After a student identifies his or her blind spots, the professor can tailor learning and contextualize teaching to the needs of the specific students in that term’s class.

Top firms and companies are canvasing graduate programs for students who perform beyond expectations. Academic achievement and experience can be a predictor of professional success.

Once a student has accesses to their influence information, they become motivated to increase their strengths and make weaknesses irrelevant. They become more willing to bring their full efforts to the MBA experience and classroom.

The ability to learn depends on intrinsic motivation within the student. As a professor, you will have students who better apply themselves and follow through on assignments, using what they learn in your class to make progressive changes.

Graduation rates are a key performance indicator of accountability in higher education. High rates occur as students feel they are being personally developed as made possible by the implementation of the KII™ in your graduate program.
