Tools For Business Alignment

Do you hear the voice of your business?  Today's leaders are faced with many competing and conflicting demands.  Understanding strengths and weaknesses within the organization and the people they lead, how to utilize the information, and gain a competitive edge is a crucial element in the success of the organization.  Human Performance Solutions provides business leaders with two tools that can support leaders with information that, when implemented successfully, can align people, processes, and direction to success.

Attribute Index

Over 50 years of scientific research has revealed that there are 3 distinct styles of decision making.  Each of us can make decisions in these 3 ways, but tend to develop a preference for one more than the other 2.  This preference becomes a subconscious force, affecting the decision we make on a daily basis and shaping how we perceive the world around us and how we perceive ourselves.  The 3 decisional styles are the personal, the practical, and the analytical.

What makes our decisions and actions different is our balance of the 3 styles.  It is this understanding of your individual strengths and weaknesses that will enable you to affect change in your life and achieve greater personal success. 

The Attribute Index is an personal assessment tool that provides information about how a person makes decision, identifies areas of strength (maximizers) and areas of weakness (minimizers). 

Our approach is to measure where an individual is now and what his/her essential elements are, and those can become predictors of future strengths.  Each individual has the opportunity to decide what action, if any, to take.  In addition, the assessment tool is supported by a comprehensive action planning process that helps promote the actions taken.

By understanding the way in which we think, it becomes possible to leverage that knowledge to:

• make better decisions

• better utilization of skills

• focus alignment of work

• increased management efficiency and effectiveness

• impact the organizations overall health and performance

The data is collected online and by a personal interview with a certified facilitator in order to explain the individual's assessment.

Organizational Assessment

Successful organizations are continually looking for way and areas to improve in order to gain a competitive advantage. Our survey instrument can rapidly chart where an organization is strategically from an excellence standpoint.  Our survey identifies for management which areas are working together to achieve business and strategic goals and which elements are working against the organization.

 We can help you determine:

• Strategy is understood by everyone

• Commitment levels to organizational goals

• Creativity involved in meeting customer needs

• Obstacles in achieving organizational goals

Gathering the Data:

• Personal interviews are conducted to gain an understanding of the intensity of feelings within the organization.

• An on-line survey is used to gather the depth of understanding and the views of employees, and to determine directional trends.

• Our survey measures seven critical areas that are found to have the greatest impact on the development of organizational effectiveness. 

Our approach is unique in that we measure the interrelationships of the essential elements which become predictors of future strength.  As a result, our assessment is outcome focused, rather than simply measuring non-relevant activities.

Key Activities

• Personal Interviews

• Administration of the survey instrument

• Scoring of responses

• Presentation of results

• Discussion of positive and negative influences

• "Gap" analysis and directional recommendations
