Applications
Consultants and internal groups within firms use OE and “I Opt” in a variety of ways. Improving team performance is a common use. The reports are easy to read, respectful in tone and mature in content. The non-judgmental nature of the reports means they can be and are used from the Board of Directors to factory floor work groups with equal positive effect.
The various “I Opt” individual analyzes are used as a component of educational programs in areas like leadership development, learning and career guidance. They are also used to facilitate education itself. For example, the TwoPerson Analysis is used as a tool to quickly launch mentoring relationships. Participants know each other’s bias form the onset. They can compensate immediately rather than spending time “discovering” these in each other.
Another area of application is in the selection of people to fill specific roles. “I Opt” analysis can predict the relationship of an individual to both the leader and other group members. Taken in conjunction with other measures (e.g., competencies, experience, education, etc.) it can reduce the probability of inappropriate placements.
Overall, Organizational Engineering gives a way to understand, measure, predict and guide human behavior for both individuals and groups. Its objective is to produce visible, positive results of significant consequence and magnitude. It is able to consistently accomplish this objective in any situation that meets the mutual dependency criteria characteristic of goal directed organizations. This has been demonstrated in domestic and international contexts.
“I Opt” can be used with confidence. The measurement component of “I Opt” has been fully validated. It requires only an 6th Grade reading level to complete the required survey. The individual reports are written at an 8th Grade level. Group reports vary by the complexity of the group being assessed but typically require less than a 12th grade level reading level.
