Nine-Time 2019 Award Winner The Predictive Index (PI) Celebrates 30% YoY Revenue Growth Following Launch of Talent Optimization Discipline

PI Named a Best Place to Work by The Boston Globe, Inc., BBJ, and Glassdoor; a Product Innovator by Brandon Hall Group; and a Fastest-Growing Company on the Inc. 5000 List

BOSTON, January 7, 2020 The Predictive Index (PI), the leader in talent optimization, today announced a 30% year-over-year increase in revenue in 2019. The company also added 170 new reseller companies to its PI Certified Partner network, took home nine prestigious awards—including Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology—and released two new product lines: award-winning PI Design and PI Diagnose. The new products, available for general release this week, join PI’s existing hiring (PI Hire) and management (PI Inspire) solutions to fully align the platform to the talent optimization discipline.

“Last year we took a risk and invested in something bigger than ourselves,” said Mike Zani, CEO of The Predictive Index. “Starting the year off with a $50 million investment from General Catalyst allowed us to completely align the The Predictive Index platform to serve the discipline of talent optimization. Talent optimization has dramatically changed our business, and it’s exciting to see the discipline take hold in the market. I couldn’t be prouder of the strong foundation we built in 2019, and look forward to a year of hypergrowth and delivering even more customer value in 2020.”

PI highlights in 2019 include:

  • Company and Channel Growth: The Predictive Index doubled employees and scaled exponentially, strategically investing in partner channel growth to drive a 30% revenue increase while adding 170 new reseller companies to its PI Certified Partner network. Heavy investment in partner success programs and teams led to greater efficiency in partner activation and profitability. 
  • Product Innovation: The Predictive Index launched two new product lines—PI Design and PI Diagnose. PI Design is a new product that empowers leadership teams to gain agreement on business strategy—and determine if they have the right teams in place to execute that strategy. PI Diagnose is an employee engagement solution that identifies root causes of engagement issues and prescribes clear action paths to address them. 
  • Category Expansion: The Predictive Index also unveiled a new Talent Optimization Certification—now accredited by both SHRM and HRCI—that provides business leaders and HR strategists with a framework to elevate their people strategy and drive impactful business results. More than 1,200 people became Talent Optimization Certified this year.

    PI also hosted OPTIMA 2019, the inaugural talent optimization conference, where more than 800 business and HR leaders attended. Billy Beane, GM of the Oakland Athletics and subject of Michael Lewis’ book Moneyball, and Mel Robbins, speaker and author of international best-selling book The 5 Second Rule, delivered the opening and closing keynotes. The first Talent Optimization Leadership Awards also took place at OPTIMA, where PI recognized AstraZeneca, First Bank, Hunter Douglas, and eight other organizations as leaders that drove bottom-line impact by aligning their talent strategy with their business strategy. Registration is now open for OPTIMA 2020, occurring October 14-16, 2020 in Boston, MA. Buy tickets here.
