NYU Industrial-Organizational Psychology
Instruments organizations use to hire, develop and understand their people.
Washington Square Management Consulting is the master’s student-led consulting firm of NYU’s I-O Psychology program. Our work spans the full range of industrial-organizational consulting: selection and assessment, surveys and employee listening, competency modeling, learning and development, workforce planning and transformation, culture and change management, and any other talent challenges that require strategy and methodological rigor.
For organizations
HR, talent and L&D leaders who need rigorous I/O work — selection, measurement, workforce transformation and more — without the overhead of a global firm.

Problems we are built to solve
-
Survey & interview tool development
You need instruments that ask the right questions — and hold up when someone challenges the results.
-
Training needs assessment
Training budget is being spent, but you cannot show which skills gaps it closed — or whether it closed any.
-
Organizational culture & change
A change initiative is underway and you need to know whether people understand it, support it, or are quietly opting out.
-
Benchmarking & labor market research
Compensation, role design or workforce claims are being made without a defensible external reference.
-
Workforce planning
Hiring and succession plans assume a future workforce the organization has not actually modeled.
Selected work
Engagements we can stand behind
