NYU Industrial-Organizational Psychology
Instruments organizations use to hire, develop and understand their people.
Washington Square Management Consulting is the graduate consulting practice of NYU’s I-O Psychology program. We take on the full range of industrial-organizational work clients bring us — selection and assessment, competency modelling, surveys and listening systems, L&D measurement, workforce planning and transformation, culture and change, and related talent problems that need the same methodological rigor.
For organizations
HR, talent and L&D leaders who need rigorous I/O work — selection, measurement, workforce transformation and more — without the overhead of a global firm.

Problems we are built to solve
-
Survey & interview tool development
You need instruments that ask the right questions — and hold up when someone challenges the results.
-
Training needs assessment
Training budget is being spent, but you cannot show which skills gaps it closed — or whether it closed any.
-
Organizational culture & change
A change initiative is underway and you need to know whether people understand it, support it, or are quietly opting out.
-
Benchmarking & labour market research
Compensation, role design or workforce claims are being made without a defensible external reference.
-
Workforce planning
Hiring and succession plans assume a future workforce the organization has not actually modelled.
Selected work
Engagements we can stand behind
