What Know Your Talents does

Know Your Talents (KYT) is a Scottsdale, Arizona-based management consulting firm founded in 2001 that delivers behavioral assessment and organizational development services to mid-market and enterprise clients across multiple industries. The firm builds its methodology on the licensed PDP (People Development Programs) behavioral assessment system, comprising ProScan (an individual behavioral profile completed in under 10 minutes), JobScan (a survey measuring the behavioral traits and energy styles required for a given position), and TeamScan (a team-level dynamics analysis built on ProScan outputs). Services range from one-time team workshops to multi-year strategic engagements, and KYT explicitly states 24 years of people-strategy consulting experience.

The firm's integrated offering is the Enterprise Development Solution (EDS), a four-pillar framework bundling Behavioral Foundation (assessments and PDP/PDP Mentor certifications), Culture of Learning (leadership and professional development programs), Voice of the Employee (engagement and feedback surveys), and Strategic Alignment (one-page strategic planning facilitation). The Culture of Learning pillar leverages KYT's parent company LearnKey's OnlineExpert LMS and a library of more than 150 SCORM-compliant online courses, including KYT's own LIFT UP Professional Development Series — giving the firm a digital delivery capability distinct from most comparably sized consulting boutiques.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees (consulting engagements, workshops, coaching, and certification programs) sold via a consultative, discovery-call-first sales motion with no publicly disclosed pricing. Since its March 2021 acquisition by LearnKey, Inc. (a 33-year-old workforce solutions provider), KYT has operated as a corporate division while retaining its brand identity. Named customers span construction (Sunland), restoration (ATI Restoration), fire and emergency services (Scottsdale Fire Department), insurance and title insurance (HPOne, Pioneer Title Agency), and healthcare (Community Medical Services), with multi-year retention evident across multiple accounts. KYT also owns the "Culture Solved" sub-brand.
