About Jim Connolly
I help individuals and companies unlock overlooked opportunities to achieve results that they don't yet see are possible, using Human Behavior Science.
Think Moneyball! Industry-leading results hidden in plain sight, achievable once you learn the tools.
I am the Founder and CEO of ILR, LLC. ILR stands for Industry Leading Results, because my objective is to help your company achieve record-setting and industry-leading results.
Specifically, I want to help you hire, develop, and retain more than your fair share of industry-leading top performers.
I have undergraduate degrees in Business and Psychology, and a Master's degree in Organizational Leadership and Change. After college, I worked for other companies before starting my firm in 2002.
I've worked on more than 500 projects with more than 200 companies.
I use 30+ tools in my consulting work, and I've personally developed more than 15 of them.
I've also completed more than 3,400 behavioral interviews, evaluating whether candidates had the factors most predictive of on-the-job performance for each specific role. This is how companies hire 4X performers instead of 1X performers.
One principle underneath all of it
Human Behavior Science rests on a single foundational idea.
