Creativity At Work Profile for Charting Individual, Team, and Organizational Innovation- Reproducible   Do you want managers and employees to 'Think outside the Box' for breakthrough results at work? Do you want to measure the Innovation Gap between people's capacity for innovation and the organization's tolerance for it?

The Creativity At Work Profile is a paper & pencil (alternately available online for a different price structure- see elsewhere on this page) self-administered, self-inventory tool that helps the user to uncover his or her preferred innovation style. In both numbers and visual graphs, the user will get a revealing picture of how they think creatively, apply creativity, and act on their creative ideas. Answering 42 questions and plotting the results on a 'Systems- Ideas' horizontal axis and an 'Action - Stability' vertical axis, the user produces a clear visual representation of their Innovation status. The user then is shown how to use this information to Think Outside the BOX." The result is a powerful insight into one's own creative thinking capacity and an opening into a more innovative horizon. Creativity At Work Profile goes beyond revealing and boosting individual creativity. With 42 more questions about the user's organization (or department, or team ) and a similar graphic representation by each user to be added together, a collective picture of the organization's innovation status immerges. Users are able to calculate in figures and numbers, the size of the possible "Innovation Gap" between their capacity for innovation and what the organization allows by its current culture. This discovery, which tends to startle and engage the intense interest of participants, leads to discussion and actions towards breaking the boxes that stifle innovation in the organization. The Facilitator's Guide includes added exercises, handouts, and resources to help facilitate the Innovation BOX. The paper-and-pencil Creativity At Work Profile takes about 30 minutes for the Individual Innovation Part, and another 20 minutes to do the Organization ( or Department ) Innovation Part. The drawing of the collective organization graph can take another 10 minutes. Group discussions and action planning can follow for about 30 minutes. The 60 to 90 minutes' duration for this powerful tool can be a part of a training session or innovation, organizational culture, leadership, or creative problem solving. It can also be done as a segment on innovation as part of a department meeting, executive retreat, or other suitable settings.

Dealing with Conflict Instrument and Guide - Best Seller   Most of us are less skilled at handling conflict than we should be. Although studies show that a negotiating behavior is usually the best response to a conflict situation, negotiation is a difficult endeavor-one that requires considerable skill and thought. The normal negotiating behavior, as typically practiced in business and social contexts, does not generally produce high levels of satisfaction for either participant. The Dealing with Conflict Instrument (DWCI) will help change this by encouraging conflicting parties to shift to a more collaborative style in order to find and pursue shared interests, creating a win/win outcome. The Dealing with Conflict Instrument presents five conflict-handling styles. The five styles; accommodate, avoid, compromise, compete, and collaborate, encompass all the effective ways of dealing with conflict. By completing the Dealing with Conflict Instrument-Self, participants will learn about their own natural style tendencies, while the information gathered from the DWCI 360-Degree Feedback set will give them insight into how they are perceived by others when resolving conflicts. The combined results of these assessments indicate which styles of conflict resolution need the most improvement. Participants will explore the characteristics of each conflict-handling style which will help them develop greater style flexibility. In order to decide which style is best in a given situation, they will learn to dissect situations, using Conflict Situation Analysis. DWCI is a significant improvement over conventional conflict assessments. It shortens usage time, produces clearer and more user-friendly results, and includes helpful support material. DWCI is compatible with most existing training programs and is the easiest way to update assessment materials.

The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI) Instrument and Guide The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI) has been compared favorably to the MBTI and other widely utilized instruments. The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI) is a carefully crafted personality measure that is designed to give individuals guidance about their psychological (Jungian) type using the sixteen types (INTJ, ENTP, etc.) first presented by Carl Jung. The focus of the PTI is on providing individuals themselves, their managers and those who train them, with an understanding of personality and its effect on performance both inside and beyond the workplace Description The initial design of PTI was based on an understanding of Jungian typology and a range of type indicators. The PTI has its foundations in the theory of Carl Jung as a measure of personality type, but goes further by differentiating between personality type, as described by Jung, and behavior, as described by Kurt Lewin's Field Theory. Lewin postulated that behavior is best understood by understanding the influence of a person’s environment on their innate and stable personality. The unique design of the PTI scoring system provides the key to seeing personality type in the context of how personality can be influenced by environment. Conditions that fall outside our natural preference boundaries will be less preferred and, consequently, are more likely to be avoided. For example, an individual with a naturally strong preference for introversion may find that he or she can cope with one-to-one interpersonal contact, but expresses anxiety about group social settings. This is clearly highlighted by how the PTI displays and individual's results. Features Powerful, innovative scoring system that highlights the range within which individuals are likely to be comfortable adopting different behavioral styles to cope with changes in their environment and the different life pressures they might face from time-to-time. Simple to use integrated Answer Sheet and Scoring Key with built-in Profile Chart. Presentation The PTI is packaged as a Self-Scoring Question and Answer Booklet, with an Integrated Profile Chart. The PTI booklet includes basic information on Jungian typology that an individual can compare to his or her results.

Learning Style Questionnaire (By: Chris Hutcheson) Based on the research of some of the leading experts in the field, The Learning Style Questionnaire provides the concepts and insight into adult learning that every trainer needs. Identify your employees' strengths and weaknesses in the ways in which they learn. Capitalize on their learning strengths and help them improve in their areas of weakness. The Learning Style Questionnaire measures a participant's preferred method of learning in four different learning styles: participating, reflecting, structuring, and experimenting. Each of the twenty questions asked in the questionnaire has four possible answers. Each of the answers represents one of four possible learning styles. By ranking the four possible answers according to his or her degree of preference, participants identify their preferred learning style. This also represents the particular stage (or stages) of the experiential learning cycle in which they prefer to operate. An understanding of the different learning styles helps participants select the approach for specific learning situations that will yield the best results. With quick and easy administration (under 45 minutes), The Learning Style Questionnaire is an essential resource for trainers and managers involved in adult learning. This leader's guide includes a 3.5" diskette with 15 transparency masters. Users can present a PowerPoint slideshow by using the files on the disk.

What's Your Type? Gaining a Bird’s Eye View of Your Personality My first exposure to personality type indicators was during a retreat my company asked me to attend before I shifted from engineering to training and development. The facilitator asked us to use a Myer-Briggs Type Indicator. We spent about half a day doing it and discussing the results. I saw how the vast majority of participants were totally absorbed by the exercise, and totally fascinated with the results. Grown-up men and women shed their inhibitions and jumped up and down in amazement as they discovered their personality types. They compared notes and discussed the meaning of the results. For most, it was an eye opening experience and an exciting journey of self-discovery. Most experienced trainers know that people just love to use personality type indicators to find out about themselves in a training workshop or retreat. But why? What is it that makes people fascinated with these instruments and the results they reveal? And, more importantly for trainers, how do these tools help people develop professionally on the job? Perhaps for hundreds of years before Aristotle advised to “Know Thyself” people have been trying to know more about themselves. There seems to be an insatiable need to know about one’s inner traits, strengths and weaknesses. Personality Type Indicators offer a very interesting way to help people do just that. We can confidently say that these tools offer us the following benefits: They give us a bird's eye view of ourselves as perceived by us. They break down the mysterious personality whole into smaller and more definable parts. They categorize our mixed-up traits and preferences into identifiable, organized categories that we can understand and and recognize. This understanding makes it possible for us to change, adapt, and develop to reach a higher level of self-management. They provide us with linguistic tools to talk about aspects of our personality that we thought cannot be expressed in words. This facilitates the expression of our inner thoughts and the exchange of our deeper feelings with others. They give us an executive summary of ourselves, and others, reduced all the way to one or two words, or even a few letters (ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, etc..). This makes it easier for us to understand ourselves and others, and the relationship between the two, in a way that facilitates our interaction with people. This last point, in turn, enables people to work more effectively with others, which is one of the key values of these tools. The value of using personality types in training increases significantly with the kind of processing of the results people engage in after completing the activity. That’s why it is recommended that the facilitators fully understand the instrument used and the meaning and application of its results. © Francois Basili, 2005 – HumaNext provides a number of personality types instruments with trainer’s guides.
