Data Trends Reports – FAQ

The Bespoke Hogan Trends Report is a tailored data insights product that aggregates and analyses trends from Hogan assessment scores across a defined population. It offers organisations a high-level view of personality patterns, leadership potential, and risk factors to support strategic decisions in talent management, succession planning, and culture development.

Hogan Trends Scores refer to aggregated data drawn from the Hogan suite of assessments (e.g. HPI, HDS, MVPI), designed to highlight patterns across a group. These trends reveal collective strengths, derailers, values, and drivers.

This report is ideal for HR leaders, talent strategists, organisational development consultants, and senior decision-makers seeking data-driven insights into workforce personality dynamics. It is particularly valuable for leadership teams or business units where understanding group tendencies is critical.

This report is fully customised to suit your organisation’s context and priorities. We tailor:

• Population – do you want to understand your high potentials, senior leaders or board members etc?
• Comparisons – gender, regional, practice area, whatever you want to compare, we can flex to suit
• Visualisations – we design in a way that suits your branding and metrics
• Strategic insights and recommendations – are you looking for stories or recommendations? We can adapt to your needs
• Benchmarking – do you have an internal benchmark we could use, or should we use the global?

Insights may include:

• Predominant personality traits within a team or cohort
• Common derailers and risk patterns
• Cultural drivers and shared values
• Differences by function, gender, level, or geography, for example
• Recommendations for talent strategies

PCL will request a data pull from all candidates included in the analysis. The client would then need to supply us with demographic data for the candidates, for example gender, region, practice area, that they would like analysed.

Data will be aggregated so no individual scores will be disclosed in the report.

We recommend a minimum of 15 participants to reduce the impact of outliers, and up to 200 or more is suitable, especially as we can break down larger samples by subgroup (e.g. gender or department) to preserve meaningful differences.

Typical deliverables include:

• A digital report (PDF or PowerPoint)
• Executive summary with key insights
• Excel data charts (optional)
• An optional live presentation or debrief session

Standard turnaround time is 2–4 weeks, depending on:

• Population segmentation – how many different comparisons you need us to review
• Data completeness and quality
• Level of customisation requested

Accelerated timelines may be possible by arrangement.

No, we are not able to supply benchmarks from other organisations, but we can supply global averages per scale to see where your cohort compares.  Alternatively, we could develop an internal benchmark that uses data from previous trends reports, once this data becomes available to you.

• Profiling of leadership teams
• Comparisons of leadership cohorts within an organisation
• To provide advice on talent strategy
• To identify gaps that need to be filled

You will need to supply:

• A list of participants names or Hogan IDs
• Relevant demographic data that will be needed for analysis (e.g. gender, business unit, geography)

Absolutely. Many clients choose to receive reports quarterly, biannually, or annually to track trends over time and evaluate the impact of talent initiatives.
