tools to help you measure and develop every level of organisation

a picture that is worth a thousand words

Human Synergistics utilises an integrated approach to create sustainable performance outcomes. Research shows that effectiveness at an individual, team, and  organisational level is driven by thinking, behaviour, and expectations of behaviour. Human Synergistics has developed and uses the world’s leading diagnostics in conjunction with consulting solutions to transform leaders, teams, and organisational culture.

The Circumplex

The Human Synergistics Circumplex provides a visual model and common language for developing constructive styles in individuals, managers, leaders, teams, and organisations.

A ground-breaking innovation developed more than 40 years ago. The Circumplex has been applied and endorsed by Human Synergistics clients around the world, a true testament to its validity, relevance, and value.

Our clients use the Human Synergistics Circumplex as a diagnostic framework for leadership development, team building, and organisational change initiatives. By understanding where behaviours fall on the Circumplex, organisations can develop strategies to promote constructive behaviours and mitigate passive or aggressive tendencies, improving overall effectiveness and productivity.

Life Styles Inventory (LSI)

Effective individuals are aware of how their own thinking influences their ‘take on life’, how they respond to others, and the impact their behaviour has on those around them. Providing such feedback to people, particularly those in leadership roles, is an important part of developing their effectiveness.

The LSI is a measurement and feedback tool designed to help individuals identify how their thinking and behaviour are helping or hindering their satisfaction and effectiveness. 

LSI1: Self-Description – Measures personal thinking styles and relates these to perceived effectiveness (self-efficacy) and satisfaction at work and at home. This can be a stand-alone instrument.

LSI2: Description by Others– Colleagues describe their experience of the individual’s behaviour.

Our consultants help the individual develop improvement strategies for building greater personal satisfaction and effectiveness.

Group Styles Inventory (GSI)

When teams perform at the best of their abilities, it’s magic! Teams can get stuck in a cycle of ineffective behaviours. Team members can work against, rather than with, each other.  Discussions can go around in circles, everyone nods in agreement but no one is following through with action.

The GSI provides group members with the insights to talk about their behaviour and how it affects the group’s performance. Through highlighting factors that are helping or hindering their teamwork, it empowers them to change the way they operate as a team and behave. 

This leads to better cooperation, communication and consensus, more innovative thinking and better-quality decisions.

Designed for project teams and work groups that solve problems and make decisions. GSI can be used when a group is working through, or has completed, solving a problem.

Leadership Impact (L/I) and Management Impact (M/L)

Leaders set the agenda for culture. They model the behaviours that others follow. Through their own leadership, they cause others to behave in certain ways that may or may not be consistent with what is desired. Effective leaders are aware of the impact they have on others.

Leadership/Impact® (L/I) is a measurement and feedback tool designed to help those in leadership positions identify the relationship between how they lead, how this impacts on the behaviours of others and how effectively they operate in the
leadership role.

Designed for managers, Management/Impact™ (M/I) measures the critical functions, their management approaches, and the impact these have on others’ behaviour and performance.

 

Organisation Culture Inventory (OCI) and Organisational Effectiveness Inventory (OEI)

Organisational culture directly impacts on the performance of the organisation. It influences how the organisation goes about executing its existing strategy and how effectively it adapts to changes in its operating environment. Improving organisational culture establishes a foundation for future performance.

The Organisational Culture Inventory® (OCI) measures an organisation’s ideal culture and the actual operating culture. It specifically examines culture from the perspective of behavioural norms. 

The Organisational Effectiveness Inventory™ (OEI) measures organisational practices that cause the current climate and how that shapes the current culture. It also measures a number of research-based outcomes of the culture at the individual, group and organisational level.
