Our Story

 Our History

The Oval Group LLC (Oval), established in 2003, is a talent management solutions provider specializing in talent assessments and services that enable business owners and corporate executives to make informed strategic decisions about their unique business and the people who hold the keys to its success.

The name, The Oval Group, was conceived of after our founder, Steve Graham, had spent many hours discussing his future business with his advisors around an oval table. The oval table represented the basis of the kind of business that he wanted to develop – a business grounded in thoughtful business planning, collaboration and open discussion.

 

Our Brand

 

We built our brand with human complexities in mind. Our logo is multi-dimensional, just like the people our clients want to assess. Many business leaders and managers only have a 2 dimensional evaluation of job candidates and current employees: what they read on resumes, cover letters, and performance reviews; and what they see and hear when meeting with them. This falls short of understanding who they really are on the inside, how they see the world (what motivates them), how they think, or how they are likely to behave and make decisions in the future.

Our decision to adopt the oval as a cornerstone of our brand (as opposed to a perfect circle) was deliberate. People, by nature, are imperfect. Understanding, guiding, and motivating an imperfect resource through insightful interpretation of scientifically validated and objective data can produce superior results. 

 

Our Philosophy 

We believe that we exist to help our clients succeed.

Our goal is to provide business leaders and managers with reliable insight and counsel through science-based resources, to help them better understand themselves, current, and prospective employees to result in higher productivity, and improve overall performance and profits.

Using certified specialists, we provide consultation, interpretation, and training  workshops for any of our assessment tool solutions that you choose to implement. We don’t just drop the tools and expect you to understand them; we pride ourselves in our availability to ensure you maximize the potential benefits from our tools and services.

Our operating tenets:

     We strive to make it easy to do business with us.

     We flex to what our clients need.

     We provide and interpret world class tools that exceed our clients’ needs – filling in the missing pieces – to help them make informed decisions about people.

     We integrate our services into our clients’ existing processes and systems to accelerate their achievement of results, augmenting what they already have in place.

When you work with the Oval Group LLC, you are working with trained, certified, consultants who have the knowledge and tools to help your business achieve its full potential. We make it our business to know yours. Our assessment tools, consulting services, and training workshops offer a new perspective into the people side of your business.
