We give leaders data they can rely on for growth.

    KRW International is a global consulting firm dedicated to improving the performance of leaders and their organizations. KRW’s evidence-based methodologies are grounded in behavioral science and a long history of executive development. The origins of our consulting practice date back to the late 1970s, when KRW’s founders pioneered deep-dive verbatim 360s for senior executive development processes.

    Our seven-year landmark study Return on Character®, published by Harvard Business Review Press, reveals a unique, measurable, and consistent relationship between senior team Character and an organization’s ability to execute its business strategy.
