• The Change Readiness Gauge offers a unique approach to change readiness and can be used in a variety of organization and team situations. It is:
• Easy to implement
• A behaviorally-based approach
• Applicable to teams and all levels of an organization
• Flexible with the ability to create multiple reports and data views
• Based on sound research practices and real organizational experiences

How it works

Individuals throughout a team or organization provide confidential feedback through an online 40-item survey that takes 15-20 minutes to complete. These items are based on four frames of reference for assessing, planning and implementing change: change awareness, change agility, change reaction and change mechanisms. Composite reports, or data cuts, display aggregated survey data and provide detail for each survey item. Results can be broken down further by creating demographic and custom questions (i.e., by subgroups for departments, locations, etc.)

Assessment administration is managed through Discovery Learning’s Online Assessment Center. Discovery Learning works with organizations to determine the initial setup and customization. Survey administrators can then conduct the survey on their own time table and produce reports when needed.

Why use it?

The report generated from organizational data represents a powerful visual image on a circumplex platform. It identifies potential barriers to the success of change initiatives while also giving insight into what is working well. It is designed to:

• Evaluate an organization’s preparedness to compete in a changing environment
• Assess and quantify an organization’s change readiness
• Align leadership on the most important organizational change issues
• Develop a shared understanding of change readiness
• Create benchmarks and measures at the start of a change initiative

Expect results from your work groups. The TPQ can help you achieve high-performing teams, work groups that demonstrate superior, sustained performance.

The Change Style Indicator® is a change management assessment designed to measure preferred styles in approaching and dealing with change. The Change Style Indicator identifies strengths and pitfalls of change style characteristics. Knowing one’s change style preferences can allow individuals to work together as a team, revising work processes and delivering more satisfactory results. It looks at factors that can impact an organization’s readiness to deal with and sustain change in challenging times. The Change Style Indicator is available online or in hard copy; and available in English, French or Spanish.

How it works

Your score on this change management assessment tool will place you on the change style continuum ranging from a Conserver style to an Originator style. A third style, the Pragmatist, occupies the middle range of the continuum. The three styles display distinct differences and preferences when approaching change.How it Works:

The assessment uses 22 situational pairs of statements to establish a ranking of how the respondent prefers to address and work with change. The assessment addresses both initiated and imposed change and places the respondent on a 133-point continuum between Conserver and Originator with Pragmatist in the center of the continuum.

Most individuals are a blend of Conserver-Pragmatist or Pragmatist-Originator; however, the degrees of blending are identifiable. The preferences and behaviors associated with 11 scoring segments along this continuum are described in detail and are reported on the personalized assessment sheets.

Assessment administration can be managed through Discovery Learning’s Online Assessment Center which decreases time needed in the classroom and empowers trainers to create customized group composites and more in-depth individual reports. This self-scoring change management assessment can also be completed and scored in the classroom in 10-15 minutes.

Why use it?

• Improve teamwork by avoiding conflicts and reduce dysfunctional meetings
• Consider all perspectives when resolving issues to increase collaboration
• Enable the group’s creativity and innovation by understanding style preferences
• Get to the “win/win” solution more quickly by promoting successful teams.
• Learn the advantages and strengths that each style brings to an organization.

The Decision Style Profile® is an enlightening management assessment tool that leads to the development of improved decision-making skills. It evaluates the appropriateness with which respondents include others in the decision-making process and the extent to which respondents consider five critical Decision Factors in their decision processes.

Takes 10-15 minutes to complete.

How it works

The Decision Style Profile® poses ten typical, real-world business situations that require decisions. Based on the cases as presented, the respondents choose among five decision-making styles in selecting the one they believe is most appropriate for each case. The five styles differ primarily as to the degree that the respondent may choose to involve others in the decision-making process. A personal report for each respondent compares individual choices to the “expert” style choices and to the style choices made by more than 41,000 executives and middle-managers. Decision Inclusion Index scores and Decision Style Index scores are calculated and explained.

Why use it?

• Improve the capability of the organization to produce acceptable, quality decisions.
• Build knowledge of a researched-based system for choosing the most appropriate decision style.
• Create awareness of five critical decision factors.
• Improve and refine the decision-making skills of managers.

• Create awareness in individual managers of their strengths and weaknesses in decision making.
• Strengthen awareness of effective outcomes based on the level of inclusion of others in the decision-making process.
