Instruments we use include
- 360° Feedback & Implementation - an excellent way for leaders and individual contributors in organizations to get a broad-based assessment of their performance
Our consultants/coaches are certified in (1) The Booth 360, which focuses feedback around the “Management Task Cycle”, an orderly way of addressing the primary responsibilities and requirements of managers and leaders; (2) The Personnel Dimensions Survey, which focuses on measuring the degree to which a person is performing effectively in those areas viewed as important to the leader; and (3) a Customized 360 in which the client needs and interests drive the selection of questions asked.

- Inventory for Work Attitude and Motivation (iWAM) - an online or paper-and-pencil questionnaire which identifies an individual’s attention filters and cognitive styles (also called metaprograms in the field of cognitive psychology)
With the iWAM, one can predict what motivates a person, their work attitudes, how they prefer to communicate, and how they prefer to act in their work context. iWAM allows the organization to take individual preferences into account and to value each person for his or her strengths. Using iWAM helps an organization make better use of the variety of styles and strengths of its members. For more information, contact us.

- Change Grid A unique client-driven and activity-specific assessment with the entire focus is on the client’s unique current and desired situations — and the mission-critical activities associated with making the changes they have in mind.
When tabulated, The ChangeGrid® provides insight, a framework for discussion, and an action planning tool. It begins with a totally client driven activity list, described with an actionable verb, and usually related to what must be done to make a success of “mission critical” initiatives. Once the Activity List has been created, the ChangeGrid® is ready for the client’s chosen population to complete. Once done, the System asks respondents to provide numerical answers to three questions regarding their perceptions of each of the activities the client has included on their list according to the following criteria: Perceived Ability, Perceived Challenge, and Perceived Importance. The focus is entirely on how clients are responding to the specific situations and activities they have chosen to explore and have identified as important - whether easily and high motivational to accomplish, difficult but doable, or impossible without help. This Grid is often used by clients as a way of viewing resourcing and planning priorities. For more information, contact us.
