When an existing survey doesn't quite fit your organization's competency model or the role you're assessing, TruScore's experts can build one that does — drawing from the same validated library of behaviors that powers all of our instruments.
Developed by organizational psychologist Clark Wilson, Task Cycle® Theory draws upon theories of learning, cognition, and motivation. As a universal model of work, it underpins every TruScore survey.
Clark Wilson developed the Survey of Management Practices in the early 1970s as a teaching tool at the University of Bridgeport. DuPont was the first corporation to adopt it in 1973, drawn to its focus on specific, observable behaviors rather than broad evaluative statements.
By the mid-1970s, Dow Chemical, Pitney Bowes, and several utilities were contributing data to the norm database. As demand grew, Wilson developed additional instruments spanning Quality, Leadership, Management, Sales, and Teams.
The Task Cycle® remains the structural backbone of all 10 TruScore assessments. Through repetition of tasks, it gives co-workers the opportunity to observe each other's skills — making them reliable evaluators and shaping their motivation to collaborate.
