Improve Performance International AS is a Norwegian software and consulting company that has spent more than 30 years helping organizations improve leadership, sales performance, employee development, recruitment, and organizational growth. The Problem We Solve Most organizations invest significant resources in strategy development, training programs, leadership development, recruitment, and change initiatives. However, many struggle with one critical challenge: They cannot consistently turn plans into measurable and documented results. Common challenges include: Leadership training that inspires but does not create lasting behavioral change. Sales training where participants return to old habits after the course. Lack of visibility into whether employees are improving their skills and performance. Difficulty measuring the return on investment (ROI) of training and development initiatives. Recruitment processes that focus on CVs and interviews rather than documented competencies and development potential. Managers lacking tools to systematically follow up goals, activities, and progress. Our Solution We have developed two complementary platforms: 1. Improve Performance & Training System (IPTS) A cloud-based performance management and training platform that helps organizations: Assess current competencies and performance. Define strengths, weaknesses, goals, and KPIs. Create personalized development plans. Deliver structured training and coaching programs. Track activities, milestones, and progress. Measure and document improvement over time. Our methodology is built around the PROVE Framework: Plan → Run → Optimize → Validate → Expand This ensures that development initiatives move beyond training events and become measurable improvement processes. 2. Improve Job Portal (IJP) An AI-powered recruitment and talent platform designed to help employers, recruiters, consultants, and candidates connect more effectively. The platform combines: AI-enhanced candidate profiles Assessment and benchmarking tools Talent communities Employer branding Structured candidate databases AI-supported recruitment workflows This enables organizations to make better hiring decisions while helping candidates showcase their competencies, experience, and growth potential. Why We Are Different Unlike traditional training providers, HR systems, ATS platforms, or consulting firms, we combine: Performance Management Training & Coaching Assessment & Benchmarking Recruitment & Talent Development AI-driven insights and automation into one integrated ecosystem. The platform has been developed and refined through real-world projects involving: More than 500 organizations Over 2,000 leaders More than 8,000 sales professionals Thousands of documented development activities and milestone measurements Our Vision Our vision is to become a global platform for measurable human and organizational development, helping companies improve performance, recruit smarter, and document the impact of their investments in people. We believe that growth should not be based on assumptions. It should be measured, validated, and continuously improved.
