OPP Ltd

What OPP Ltd does

OPP Ltd is a UK-headquartered business psychology product and services provider based in Oxford, founded in 1988 and operating with 101–250 employees. The firm operates in the applied psychometrics and learning-and-development (L&D) market, where it commercializes a portfolio of branded personality, behavioral, and career assessment tools that are delivered through a practitioner certification model: certified coaches, consultants, and HR professionals license the instruments and deploy them within organizations for personality development, leadership development, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, and career exploration.

The product portfolio spans six flagged instruments: MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) for personality and skills development; Strong Interest Inventory for career exploration among students and midcareer professionals; TKI (Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument) for productive conflict handling; FIRO (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation) for interpersonal relations; CPI (California Psychological Inventory) for leadership identification and development; and VitaNavis, a platform aimed at student success in high school and higher-education settings. The associated go-to-market is built around a four-step practitioner journey (Certification → Deployment → Tailored Development → Community), supported by a content ecosystem of webinars, articles, case studies, and whitepapers, and a customer base that visibly spans large enterprises (Microsoft, Ford, Mondelez), higher education (Cornell University), public sector (NHS, US Army), and consumer-brand customers (Beauty Kitchen, Girls in Tech).

Leadership comprises John Rogers (Chief Information Officer), Liam O'Connor (Chief Financial & Administrative Officer), and Betsy Kendall (Vice President of Programmes, Delivery & Content), consistent with an operationally mature vendor running a certification-and-licensing business with enterprise channels. Pricing is gated behind practitioner certification, with downstream volume-based licensing feeding end-user assessments within client organizations.

These assessments are delivered through a certification model where practitioners get certified to administer the assessments, then deploy them with individuals and organizations for learning, development, and career guidance purposes.

Broad incumbents

• CliftonStrengths (Gallup): Gallup's strengths-based assessment suite (CliftonStrengths) is widely deployed through certified coaches in corporate L&D — a comparable assessment-and-coaching distribution model targeting overlapping enterprise buyers.

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a sizable talent assessment and leadership development practice — overlaps with OPP's enterprise L&D and leadership development offerings as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Aon (Assessment Solutions): Aon's human capital business includes psychometric assessments and talent analytics, competing with OPP in the enterprise assessment market but as part of a much wider HR consulting and brokerage portfolio.
