Organizational Analysis & Planning
Our Organization Analysis services determine opportunities for improvement in the current organizational structure, processes, and people strategy.
At PowerTrain, we understand that your organization’s success depends on the effectiveness of your leadership and management teams.
PowerTrain will work closely with you to determine the proper solutions to fit your specific organizational needs. Our Human Capital strategists target solutions to support your organization’s strategic objectives.
Competency Frameworks
Collaborate with PowerTrain to compile a competency framework that defines and outlines the skills, knowledge, behaviors, and abilities required for success across various roles within your organization. Our team of industrial/organization (I/O) psychologists will collaborate with your subject matter experts to ensure that your framework provides clear expectations, identifies gaps, and increases objectivity in defining job requirements and conducting employee assessments.
Gap & Risk Analysis
PowerTrain’s Gap & Risk Analysis services begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your current learning programs, performance processes, and organizational competencies to identify critical skill and compliance gaps. We then layer on a tailored risk assessment — examining regulatory requirements, technology vulnerabilities, and operational workflows — to prioritize threats and opportunities. Finally, we deliver a clear, strategic roadmap complete with actionable recommendations, mitigation plans, and success metrics, empowering you to close gaps, reduce risk, and confidently align your workforce strategy with organizational goals.
Strategic Workforce Planning
PowerTrain’s strategic workforce planning solutions will boost your organizational agility and resilience, improve your organizational culture, and effectively manage change. Having the right people in the right positions is key—succession planning is a critical component of workforce development and ensures smooth operation and productivity. In a dynamic and competitive business landscape, organizations that prioritize strategic workforce planning are better equipped to navigate uncertainties and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Let us increase your organization’s robustness through strategic workforce planning.
To conduct strategic workforce planning, we first review existing data and documentation and conduct surveys and assessments to gather new data; this may include employee viewpoint and barrier analysis surveys. After we analyze the results, we validate our findings by facilitating targeted focus groups and conducting confidential interviews. Finally, we analyze the data, apply statistical validation tools, and create a strategic implementation plan. PowerTrain will lead the way to a solution, offering advice each step of the way to ensure optimal buy-in to our solutions from the bottom up.
Data Analytics & Management
PowerTrain is well-versed in all levels of data analysis and data management from all sources. Whether managing Excel files or data captured from agency platforms, we manage data from across the Federal government and securely store, analyze, and produce live reports, as exemplified by our work for ODI and BODO.
PowerTrain is also experienced in conducting advanced statistical analysis using a variety of methods. We know the true value of data is uncovered by in-depth processing, interpretation, and visualization. We work hard to guide stakeholders through the analytic process, ensuring steps are thoroughly explained so that results can be utilized to their fullest.
To supplement our analytical prowess, our Cloud-Based IT solutions team hosts and supports systems through which you can store, manage, and analyze data, such as Learning Record Stores, Content Management Systems, Knowledge Management Systems, and more.
Employee Engagement Survey Solutions
Understanding your workforce shouldn’t feel like guesswork. PowerTrain delivers flexible employee engagement survey solutions that turn workforce sentiment into clear, actionable insight. Our approach combines comprehensive baseline assessments with targeted “pulse” surveys to provide a continuous view of employee experience, morale, and performance drivers—fully tailored to your organization’s mission and workforce structure.
We support the full survey lifecycle, from custom design and multi-channel distribution (including mobile, kiosk, QR, and offline options) to advanced analytics, dashboards, and leadership-ready reporting. Built to reach both desk-based and field employees, our platform is paired with expert advisory support to translate data into action. With a strong focus on data privacy, accessibility (including Section 508 compliance), and practical recommendations, PowerTrain helps organizations strengthen culture, improve retention, and make informed workforce decisions.
Tests & Assessments
We have successfully implemented online assessments for the Treasury, Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Labor, Delegated Examining, Presidential Management Fellows, and Department of Justice sites.
Come to us if you need something more complicated, too, such as validated scoring exams, testing with safeguards against cheating, and other assessments trusted to properly sort test-takers into categories. If separating out qualified candidates for selection, PowerTrain’s Applicant Capability Evaluation System (ACES) product was designed to fill just that need.
PowerTrain also creates sound quizzes, exams, and tests for Learning & Development purposes.
