We have a number of diagnostic tools that can assist you in developing individuals or groups within your organisation. The Johari Window is a tried and tested method of helping individuals understand more about themselves and their environment whilst Functional Fluency and TIFF can help both individuals and groups. Our Innovation Audit is for groups only and can be applied to departments, functional grouping or whole organisations who consider Innovation as an important strategy. For further details see below, for enquiries please Contact Us.

The Johari Window - Personal Relations Survey

The Personal Relations Survey is based on the Johari window and identifies:

• How much of yourself, your ideas and thoughts, you keep from others
• How much of yourself you do not fully understand, and is therefore hidden from you

You are able to work out the results and construct a graph that gives an overall picture of yourself. PRD offer a debriefing session to help you get the most from your results either by telephone or in person.Our discussion is guided by you, but is likely to cover the following points:

• What you keep hidden from others – what is it you keep hidden?
• What benefits might there be in sharing with others, how might it help you to become more effective.
• What is hidden from you? How might this manifest itself?
• What are the benefits of understanding yourself further? What actions might you take?

The Personal Relations Survey naturally compliments a Leadership and Management or Action Learning programme. Alternatively it would be useful in a coaching session. We recommend that you purchase the Teleometrics Personal Relations Survey directly from Chartwell Learning and Development.

Price: Feedback and Action Planning £100 (+VAT), Survey £6.50 (+VAT) direct from Chartwell.

 

TIFF - Temple Index of functional Fluency

A useful starting point for professional and personal development is self awareness and the knowledge required to build positive relationships.

TIFF is a psychometric online questionnaire that gives a unique personal profile of behaviour patterns. It takes 20 – 30 minutes to complete. A team profile can also be developed. 1-to-1 feedback with planning for personal development by a licensed provider requires up to an hour and a half. Follow-up hour-long sessions using the TIFF framework can be arranged as necessary to support development from awareness through desire to action.

Who can benefit from using TIFF?

• Individuals interested in developing their interpersonal skills
• People wishing to focus on leadership development and enhance their empowering behaviours
• Leaders and managers
• Teams
• Coaches, facilitators and mentors.

To find out more about TIFF click here, or visit the Functional Fluency web site.

Price: Online profile plus one and a hour hour debriefing session £100 (+VAT).

 

Innovation Audit

Our Innovation Audit is described in further detail in the data sheet available from our downloads page. Please note that although this tool is used for measuring Innovation, it can also be used for measuring the effects of cultural change programmes. It is the only tool that we know of which measures Innovation directly, rather than relying on indirect Key Performance Indicators.

The Overall Innovation Climate is assessed using a set of multiple choice questions. It should be noted that there is no absolute measure of Innovation and any scores measured over a period of time are relative to your particular organisation. This survey is designed to produce a graphical output together with accompanying notes that allow trends or areas of concern to be easily identified. Any such areas should be investigated further. The areas under examination are described outlined below. Some of the conditions for innovation may seem 'idealistic' and it is extremely unlikely that the perfect organisation exists. All of the key areas are important and it is useful to identify how effective organisations are and whether any aspects of the organisation are being neglected.

The following nine areas are examined:

• Team work
• Hands on/off management
• Desire to win
• Knowing how to win
• Scanning the external environment
• Managing external relationships
• Creating the right culture
• Stretching employees

The Creative Climate is examined using a number of statements that respondents are asked to agree/disagree with. It is designed for use in gauging the Creativity within an organisation. It should be noted that there is no absolute measure of creativity and any scores measured over a period of time are relative to your particular organisation. There may be scope for comparison within and industry sector but results should not be compared between sectors. Note also that results may vary according to seniority and role within the organisation. If an organisation is truly creative then the desired characteristics should be widespread throughout.

Note that this survey is concerned with organisational creativity, not personal creativity which can be measured more directly using such methods as KAI (Kirton Adapter/Innovator) and the Inquiry Process Grid.

The areas we examine are:

• Strategic Barriers
• Organisational Culture
• Corporate Culture
• Learning
• Process and Structure
• Leadership and Management

The Knowledge Climate is gauged by asking respondents to agree/disagree with a number of statements. This survey can be used to determine a 'Knowledge Level' on a scale of 1 to 5. This is a crude scale but can be used to examine relationships with external stakeholders. If an organisation regularly shares knowledge with other organisations which are at a higher level then there may be some danger or increased risk associated with that relationship e.g. theft of Intellectual Property, financial risk (customers or suppliers). Note also that results may vary according to seniority and role within the organisation. In an ideal organisation there should be little variation between roles and function or between employees of varying seniority.

The areas we examine are:

• Knowledge Communities
• Knowledge Base
• Infrastructure
• Knowledge Processes

Administering the surveys can be done in several ways:

• Online
• Using Microsoft Word templates on a computer using a printed questionnaire
• By interviewing employees
• By carrying out workshops

The Audit Report is a comprehensive document that contains a summary of the key data, analysis of trends observed and recommendations where appropriate. It highlights areas or strength, targets for 'quick wins' and areas requiring further development. A sample report is available on request.

Price: Includes administration of surveys, data entry, analysis, bound copies of report and presentation to your board or senior management. Actual price depends on number of employees surveyed but prices start at £2500 (+VAT).
