Development Dimensions, International was founded by William C. Byham, Ph.D. and Douglas W. Bray, Ph.D. in 1970 as the first commercial assessment center to assist companies in building highly skilled and committed workforces. Since its founding, DDI has worked with more than a thousand companies in virtually every industry, and has expanded into training and development, succession planning, and selection services. They help hire and promote 8,000 people each day, and over the past three decades have developed more than ten million executives and leaders in organizations worldwide. We visited recently with Account Executive Rita Kocjancic, and listened as she outlined DDI's services and offerings;
