About CykoMetrix

Empowering organizations to make data-driven decisions using the power of human data

We are for Digital Transformation Consultants, CIOs and Analysts who need to objectively measure the human factors that contribute to successful transformations, better business outcomes, and to identify individuals who are best suited to specific jobs or teams.

The CykoMetrix platform, is the world’s first and most comprehensive psychometric graph which includes a comprehensive assessment product marketplace, human data tracking over time and automated analytics and report generation. The platform empowers our partner ecosystem to deliver more efficient and higher value-added services by offering these capabilities to their clients, encouraging more engagements and explorations with them.

This means more continuous business.

Unlike current forms-based assessment methods that require manual data manipulation on spreadsheets or in database, and manual report generation, our partners and their customers leverage the “CMX Effect” to digitally Connect and deliver assessments, Monitor and measure employee engagement, as well as cross (X-)correlate data sets to link engagement data with business outcomes and surface human data intelligence to support strategic decision making.
