Clear Choices For High-Stakes
Talent Decisions
Evidence-based approach that reduces guesswork
and delivers measurable results
Tal Insights, led by David Bernal, helps talent leaders turn complex people questions into clear, confident decisions. The work is insight-driven and context-aware, grounded in transparent analytics and tools teams can apply right away. The aim is simple: clarity executives trust and results that can be delivered.
After leading a 40+ person global assessment practice and partnering with clients on critical talent decisions, David has a close view of what determines outcomes. Too often, one-size-fits-all models and opaque data leave leaders unsure of next steps or less confident in the results. David takes a different path: fit-for-purpose methods, validated techniques, and practical decision frameworks.
He now brings that experience through Tal Insights, helping talent leaders move from insight to action. Clients receive concise findings, prioritized recommendations, and decision guides they can put to work in their context, with line of sight to business performance. The work is pragmatic, collaborative, and forward-thinking, supported by David’s Ph.D. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and delivered in straightforward language leaders can act on.
