People development should produce measurable business results.

For more than 30 years, Jim Knittel has helped organizations connect the performance and capabilities of their people to the needs of the business. 

In 2015, Jim founded Ascend Performance Group to give organizations a more intentional and practical approach to hiring, managing, and developing talent.

Ascend works with organizations that need more than a stand-alone training program or temporary solution. We help leaders define what the business requires from its people, establish clear performance standards, assess where the organization stands today, and build the systems and capabilities needed to reach the desire future state.
