The National Skill Standards Board (NSSB), a congressionally chartered federal agency from 1994-2003, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, was charged with improving methods for defining and measuring human work performance. Two principals of GSX, David E. Wilcox and Joselito Lualhati, Ph.D., were key staff members of the NSSB and had the technical responsibility for designing and conducting organizational and industry research. GSX was formed subsequent to the sunset provision that discontinued the activities of the NSSB in order to continue the development and application of national skill standards. GSX aims to carry on the legacy of NSSB's achievements, including the use of its most extensive skill standards research collected in four distinct industry sectors — Information & Communication Technology, Education & Training, Manufacturing, and Sales & Service.
