Global insights, local impact: What I take away from the Hogan Partner Summit 2025
From Hogan’s latest studies and global strategy to the newest AI breakthroughs in assessment and personality, every segment of this summit brought together nearly 50 distributors from every corner of the globe to share, learn and connect—serving our clients and beneficiaries, and united by the love for the Science of Personality.
5 key insights
- The power of the network
Distributors form a large, multicultural family, passionately supporting their clients’ talent-management projects. So much synergy, shared experience and fresh ideas—wow! - Selection ≠ Retention
Retention Hiring always involves uncertainty (even if Hogan drastically reduces it). Companies truly win the talent war through retention. Concepts like Stagility prove it: so, investing in employee development remains our best performance hedge. - Culture & Leadership: nuance matters
A global study of executive profiles shows cultural differences in what defines a good leader: on average, a leader in the USA is more ambitious and less prudent than a Chinese counterpart. Spotting these subtleties helps us predict and guide shifts and transformations. Info: this study is currently running until the end of the year – you can participate under the following link – you will help us to gain important insights into the understanding of leadership in the DACH region: Call for Participation: Global Research Study on Effective Leadership | Hogan Assessments - Beyond certification, impact
Being Hogan-certified is good; helping clients fully leverage the tool is better. New resources (Hub, videos, acculturation programs…) are on the way to strengthen our coaching and consulting practice. - Measure to grow
Nurturing relationships post-certification, tracking precise KPIs, and putting a price tag on managerial turnover (~€100 k per exit) convert soft science into hard ROI.
Thank you, Hogan – and everyone who made this summit possible
A huge thank-you to all the Hogan Assessments team for organizing such a tremendous event after 9 years: Zsolt Feher, Garrett Shaffer, Ryne Sherman … and all the new and old friends in the Hogan Family for the candid exchanges, energy and shared perspectives.
Thank you.
