The Challenge
As a coach serving some of the top leaders in the country, Renée found herself increasingly overwhelmed by the demands of leadership assessment work. While interview-based 360-degree feedback is instrumental to her practice, the intensive manual analysis required meant sacrificing evenings and weekends to meet client deadlines. This made assessment the most dreaded part of her coaching work.
"My work week is typically completely booked with client meetings, so assessment work is relegated to nights and weekends. During busy times, this means that I'm giving up entire weekends to analyze and write assessment reports. It's my least favorite part of the job."

The Solution
Renée partnered with Encore AI to transform her assessment process using AI-powered analysis. Encore AI's Assessment Intelligence Platform created a predictable, streamlined workflow that eliminated the need for late nights and weekend work. Instead of manually combing through feedback, looking for themes and quotes, Encore's AI does the heavy lifting, automatically processing and analyzing feedback from multiple sources.
"Encore AI reliably identifies the key themes from my interview notes, which I can then edit to be worded exactly as I want. Then, the magic happens: in just a minute or two, Encore AI finds all the supporting quotes for that theme and suggests top selections. I have complete freedom to choose which quotes to incorporate into my final report."
