Tilt helps you improve how you deal with peo­ple to get you to your abso­lute best

O wad some Pow’r the gif­tie gie us, to see our­sels as others see us.”

[Oh would some power have the gift to give us, to see our­sel­ves as others see us.”]

–Robert Burns, Scots poet

 

The most enjo­ya­ble part of what we to do is get­ting to work with great com­pa­nies. They range from mul­ti­na­tio­nals, to newly min­ted billion dollar busi­nes­ses and many startups.

When we were approached by a young star­tup, Tilt 365, last year we were intri­gued by their ser­vice. Foun­der, Pam Boney, has the follo­wing Carl Jung quote on the bot­tom of her emails, “The world will ask you who you are, and if you do not know, the world will tell you.”, and in a sim­plis­tic way, this also sums up their ser­vice:  The idea that we can cul­ti­vate our talents through cons­tant feed­back from our collea­gues and the peo­ple around us.

We all know that once a year annual reviews & 360’s that become dated within a month, kinda suck. What is their true pur­pose? Can a per­son really be expec­ted to make beha­vio­ral chan­ges just from a mee­ting every year, or quar­ter, for that matter?

The folks at Tilt have crea­ted this nifty little web app that allows collea­gues to assess per­so­na­lity pat­terns that are affec­ting others. The truth is that HR usually does a good job at hiring com­pe­tent peo­ple, but what makes them effec­tive, is all about per­so­na­lity and peo­ple skills -  a person’s nega­tive or posi­tive influence on the cli­mate around them.  Pam’s tool shows us how we Tilt in and out of cer­tain beha­viors and how it impacts the peo­ple around us.

It’s all done real time and in what looks like a pretty darn per­fect feed­back loop. It remin­ded me of this piece in Wired a cou­ple of years ago.

We’ve done quite a bit of crea­tive for Tilt, hel­ping them to visually com­mu­ni­cate the beha­vio­ral chan­ges and move­ment through the pro­cess– and we’ll be tal­king more about how this ser­vice can help affect change in busi­nes­ses, espe­cially enterprise.

Here’s to Til­ting the right way in 2013 :-)
