Competent consultants and trainers need a variety of tools to serve their clients most effectively and efficiently. With so many theories and assessment instruments available in the marketplace today, it is difficult to sort out what is useful and what is not.
OD Tools: 2007 offers experiential exploration of three theories and the tools and approaches that make them practical and applicable. These include:
- The KGI™ (Klein Group Instrument™ for Effective Leadership and Participation in Teams)
- The PMAI™ (Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator®)
- Reversal Theory in Action
Stay in tune with us and we'll connect you to the tools you need.
KGI™ (Klein Group Instrument™ for Effective Leadership and Participation in Teams)
The Klein Group Instrument (KGI) was created to help people have a positive impact on group and team performance. It is a powerful self-report instrument that assesses people's preferred ways of functioning in four domains: group leadership, negotiation orientation, task focus, and interpersonal focus.
The KGI tool helps people understand the roles they enjoy, the tasks they find difficult or challenging, and provides suggestions for improving effectiveness in each of the domains. KGI results help all members gain insight into leadership, interpersonal relations, and group dynamics.
When the KGI is used within a group context, both the Individual and Group Profiles provide targeted suggestions on how to enhance teamwork. As a result, members gain a deeper appreciation for the various roles and functions within the group, and they obtain actionable insights about productive next steps.
KGI Training Objectives:
- Practice administering, interpreting, and giving feedback on the KGI
- Analyze organizational case studies using KGI data
- Experience ways to apply the KGI in coaching, team and leadership development, and even couples and career counseling
The KGI is available for online administration.
PMAI™ (Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator®)
Based on Carl Jung's concept of archetypes, the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator (PMAI) is a well-researched assessment tool that provides a practical way to measure the presence and influence of archetypes in individuals. This seminar provides professionals with the knowledge needed for administering and interpreting PMAI results for use in such professional settings as coaching and career counseling.
The PMAI brings clients clarity about what story they are living now, and how with thoughtful change their journey can be redirected. This is an unrestricted instrument that is available both online and in paper and pencil.
PMAI Training Objectives:
- Practice administering, scoring, and interpreting the PMAI instrument
- Developing strategies to understand the meaning of high, low, and mid-range scores
- Describe and learn to recognize the twelve defined archetypes and to use their characteristics to leverage self-awareness, growth, and change
- Investigate the shadow side of archetypes and how this knowledge supports personal growth
Reversal Theory in Action
How can you foster a healthy concern for due dates and the consequences of failure or inaction without also bringing the stress and anxiety that accompany those realities?
How can you motivate everyone to follow rules and procedures, but then expect them to innovate?
Learning to strike a balance between these opposing requirements—and a hundred others that we demand of ourselves and our organizations—requires an understanding of motivational states and how to work within them.
Reversal Theory, a theory of motivation and emotion, is one of the most significant psychological theories to have emerged in the last forty years. Flying in the face of conventional trait theories that measure the amount and consistency of your behavior, Reversal Theory focuses on inconsistency and what spurs reversals from one psychological state to another.
For the last thirty-years clinicians and researchers from around the world have been testing, exploring, and writing about Reversal Theory, but not until recently has the world of organizational development benefited from this revolutionary set of ideas.
Reversal Theory Training objectives:
- Develop experiential understanding of Reversal Theory, including domains, states, and dominance
- Practice using a detailed workbook and Reversal Theory guide as a means of introducing the material
- Generate a functional list of reversal triggers (behaviors, words, actions, and props) to use with yourself and others
- Give and receive Reversal Theory feedback
- Strategize approaches for applying Reversal Theory to self-awareness, leadership, teams, and system-wide change efforts
Prerequisite and prework: There are no pre-requisites for this course. Participants will be asked to take the KGI and PMAI instruments prior to attending the class.
