We're here to help.
Since 1979, Creative Organizational Design has served clients on six different continents.
About Us
Creative Organizational Design was established in 1979 to provide customized training services. As part of these services, we offered psychological and industrial assessment tools. Our clients began asking us to provide other types of employee testing tools. Our expertise enabled us to help our clients select the most appropriate tools for their requirements. Our business model changed and, over the past thirty years, we have become the largest independent supplier of assessment tools for job applicants and current employees.
Our clients also communicated a need to survey their employees and customers. In response, we have developed a comprehensive range of custom-designed surveys, in several languages, in both online and paper-and-pencil formats. We have surveyed hundreds of thousands of people in many different countries.
Over the years, our Principals have written many articles on employee testing and surveys, which have been published in professional journals. These are posted on our website for our customers to enjoy and may be re-printed with permission.
We provide services for all sorts of clients ranging from small businesses to national and international chains and organizations. We would be pleased to help you find the answers you seek, and to select and retain the very best employees. We are unusually responsive to our customers' needs. How can we help you?

Rent our Villa
In addition to our business services, we have a beautiful villa for rent on the southern coast of Spain. The villa is located on a mountain, overlooking a medieval Phoenician fishing village. The village of Salobreña is nestled against the outer walls of an ancient castle which can be clearly seen from the villa's balconies. If you are seeking a place to settle in to for an extended holiday, the villa is an ideal vacation spot! Come to Spain and let the sun, sand, exotic foods and old-world charm relax you and ease the stresses of your regular life back home. A vacation at the villa would also be a wonderful gift or bonus for your top-performing sales staff or executives. Casa Loma (house on the hill) is perfectly situated whether you wish to escape and just relax or use it as a home-base for exciting day trips throughout southern Spain.
If you (or someone you know) are in need of a well-deserved rest, then you need to come to Villa Casa Loma! For photographs, travel information and booking forms, visit our Villa website. We know that you'll fall in love with it and with southern Spain, just as we have!
Creative Organizational Design is a division of John O. Towler & Associates, Inc. incorporated in 1979.
What our customers are saying...
"We have been using the services of Creative Organizational Design to assist us with various aspects of our business for several years. Most recently, we have been using an employee testing system that helps us evaluate possible new employees by looking at significant behavioral indicators such as honesty, customer relations, and work values. This is very important to us as our business is rental apartments, and it is vital that all our employees are people-oriented. We are very satisfied with the ease in which the applicant can complete the testing. As well, the staff at Creative Organizational Design has the results available to us within 24 hours. This is very much appreciated as time is of the essence when it comes to finalizing a new hire. The results have been amazingly accurate and we have saved ourselves possible future problems on more than one occasion. We would not hesitate to recommend this firm or the employee testing program to anyone who needs this type of service."
