The data obtained through the Leadership Simulation will be analyzed by predictive models and machine learning algorithms developed by us to produce an objective, science-based evaluation of a person’s leadership profile and competencies, in the form of a report with recommendations to be considered, along with other information, to support discussions about talent recruitment and development, succession and team building, by the client who engages our services and, in cases where our client is an executive search firm, our client’s client, on whose behalf the talent search is being conducted.
‍
A report will also be provided to the User on their Leadership Simulation results.

The data obtained through the Leadership Simulation, as well as the Public Data, will also be used for internal research and analysis, product refinement, and testing to develop and to improve the Leadership Simulation and System-3’s products and services continually. With a User’s consent, contact information may also be used for marketing.
