We have a lot of tools in our tool box and the Strength Deployment Inventory has got to be one of our favourites. Why do we like the SDI so much? We receive a lot of enquiries from professionals who want training courses that improve communication, reduce conflict, develop team performance and build stronger intra-team relationships. The SDI allows us to do all of this and more. The effectiveness of the Strength Deployment Inventory lies in it s simplicity. A positive and validating tool, it is easy to grasp and practical to use. So if you only have a day or two and really want to know how to get the best out of your team, know what motivates them and how to recognise and deal with conflict in a useful way, this is just the ticket. The Strength Deployment Inventory allows teams and individuals to both communicate and relate to others more effectively. It moves beyond the external behaviours we experience in others and into the motivations, intentions and values that drive them. This, in turn, provides the opportunity to accelerate the bulding of stronger, more resourceful and more effective teams in any environment.

2 The MBTI Use the MBTI for: Team building & development Identifying areas for personal and professional development Accelerated coaching and development Leadership development Managing change more effectively Understanding and working with diversity Being more effective with more people Improving communication and resolving conflict Identifying leadership styles Exploring problem-solving and learning styles Understanding reactions to change and stress Career development Teaching and learning You already know that we are all so very different and that these differences impact on your business performance. Personality is not, however, something that we can switch off and leave at home. Our personality is a fundamental part of who we are. It is with us always, whether we are at home or at work. Truly acknowledging, understanding and working with personality difference is definitely one way in which you can achieve high performance and more effective team working. Unlike many other psychometric tools, the MBTI is not a test. Instead, it indicates a person s clarity for a set of preferences. Understanding both your own and your team s Type s (or preferences) can help in a number of ways, not least by improving communication, resolving conflict and identifying areas for team and personal development. The MBTI is part of all Leadership Training programmes. It can also be administered to enhance our Team Development and Outdoor Management Development programmes or as a stand alone course for individuals or groups. We also provide online administration and telephone feedback for individuals wanting to take the MBTI. Mencap, London.

3 The 16PF What is the 16pf? Use the 16PF for: Management development Personal development Accelerated coaching & development Managing change more effectively Being more effective with more people Professional development Leadership development Improving communication and resolving conflict Team building & development Career guidance & development The 16pf (or sixteen personality factors), developed by Raymond Cattell, is a trait based psychometric tool, that has a variety of uses within learning and development. The 16pf differs from the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in that it measures the amount of personality trait as apposed to the clarity of preference. Simply put, it measures 16 factors which make up our personality. As the 16pf measures personality it is possible to predict how the respondent might behave in a situation given their personality makeup. For this reason, it is one of the few personality instruments that can be used as part of a selection & assessment process. The 16pf & Recruitment Experts in the use and application of the 16pf, we are able to support you in your recruitment and selection process. Working with your job specifications and competency frameworks, we will administer the 16pf and produce a custom report that provides you with extra information for the interview process, the questions that you really need to ask and our recommendations based on the candidate s results. The 16pf & Talent Development The 16pf is a truly versatile tool. Use the 16pf for developing your key talent, your managers and for increasing personal effectiveness through coaching. Again, we will work with your existing competency frameworks and job specifications to produce custom and personal reports that identify areas for change, development and coaching. Whether you want feedback/ coaching to be personal and face-to-face, delivered over the telephone, or in written form, we deliver a flexible, professional and personal service. World Cancer Research Fund Whilst, the 16pf has not been the main source of selection for this role it was part of a selection package which helped us to formulate a more rounded picture of the candidates. The time you took to clarify our assessment criteria and your summary of the results was very much appreciated and helpful to us. It also assisted us with preparing the second interview questions and helped us to probe further on some areas that our normal questioning would have perhaps overlooked....so far things are going well and we are very happy with the appointment. I think the 16pf really helped us build an objective view of candidates and was particularly useful for that position. I would certainly use it again in the future, for the right role. Anyone wanting to be more effective in dealing with others You decide! We can deliver the 16pf remotely, face-to-face, or via the telephone; as part of a recruitment and selection process, development programme and for personal development and coaching. The 16pf instrument is a very versatile tool. Contact us to discuss your exact needs and we will be able to give you a service which more than meets your expectations.

5 The Type Dynamics Indicator We use the Type Dynamics Indicator for: Team building & development Identifying areas for personal and professional development Accelerated coaching and development Leadership development Managing change more effectively Understanding and working with diversity Being more effective with more people Improving communication and resolving conflict Identifying leadership styles Exploring problem-solving and learning styles Understanding reactions to change and stress Career development Teaching and learning Similar to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI ), the Type Dynamics Indicator (TDI ) also reports a person s psychological type on the same dichotomies. Underpinned by Jung s theory of typology, the TDI reports on four areas of difference. These are: the differences in how people are energised and interact with the world. the differences in the way people prefer to take in information. the differences in how people prefer to use that information. the differences in the lifestyle people prefer to lead. So why deliver the TDI as well as the MBTI? Some people find that there is an internal struggle between who they are and who they want to be. This tool, as well as reporting on your present psychological type, also has the flexibility to report on the psychological type that you may aspire to be. The TDI terms this the Is/Want report. Identifying this difference (if any) allows for a deeper exploration of type and identifies richer opportunities for personal development. For ease and convenience, the TDI can be completed online, which allows for the creation of personalised and comprehensive Type at Work reports. World Cancer Research Fund: Really interesting course, highly recommend it for helping others to understand my own and my teams personality types. Great insight.

Maybe it is your first day in your new role, with your new team, or perhaps you are wanting to take your performance to the next level and improve the quality of working relationships. Either way, the Strength Deployment Inventory Expectations edition will give you a valuable and different perspective.
