Rather than hiring for skills and training for attitude, 4G makes it possible to hire for attitude and fit (both cultural and with managers and colleagues) and to then train for skills. Because 4G makes hiring for attitude and fit possible, training activities focussed on skills become more achievable, enhancing both recruitment and training outcomes in the process. Read more »
By predicting candidate and team fit, it is possible to know the type of relationship a candidate will have with their manager and colleagues in advance of any hiring decision. This provides decision makers with predictive analytics and foresights that enhance selection outcomes. Whilst the failure rate of hiring decisions won't be accounted for by relational and cultural fit alone, these factors will explain a significant proportion of recruitment outcomes. Read more »
Through the use of the 4G Relationship Friction metric, it's possible to quantify the cost of team work in financial terms and link this data to other quantifiable measures of performance. By linking team behaviour data to financial metrics and KPIs, tangible improvements in performance can be quantifiably demonstrated and the true ROI from developmental activities can be easily calculated.

4G makes it possible to identify, in advance of any change work, which individuals will be change champions, pioneers, early adopters or sceptics.

Optimise the Human Element of Business Processes and Communications
By comparing a particular change objective against data from Social Groups, it is possible to see if the culture in question is well aligned or not and a more successful path to realising the change can be mapped out, raising efficiency and removing barriers to change. Through a combination of predictive analytics, business processes and decision support, 4G offers insights and recommendations about optimising the behavioural, relational and cultural dimensions of change.

Generate Economies of Scale and Economies of Learning
4G uses a common theoretical foundation for all of it's 500,000 words of training and development materials, coaching modules and accreditation resources. This shared foundation means that each new learning activity builds on the previous, simultaneously creating economies of learning and economies of scale. Read more »
Create an Individually Personalised Training and Development Syllabus
The majority of training and development resources are generic. Every person who engages with the material goes through the same information, regardless of their needs or context, creating sub-optimal learning outcomes. To overcome this, 4G provides a suite of bespoke and customised development and coaching modules. Each coaching module is custom written and reflects the differences between each of the 16 4G Social Profiles. Read more »
