Path 3 — People & Leadership
For CHROs, People Leaders, and organizational development practitioners who need more than competency checklists. Our frameworks are built from a research-grade model of the twelve intelligences that define high-leverage leadership.
The Strategic Intelligence Architecture (SIA)
SIA maps 12 leadership intelligences across 6 domains -- from Cognitive Architecture and Strategic Direction to Institutional Navigation and Conceptual Creation. The Competency Dictionary volumes, the Interview Question Bank, the Six Levels assessment, and the SIA Mini Quiz all draw from this framework. Understanding your SIA profile tells you where your organization has depth, where it has gaps, and who your hidden system leaders actually are.
