The iWAM is a unique online tool that enables an organisation to find out the key drivers of members of their teams. The iWAM is not a personality profile. It is a system that provides a window into the intrinsic motivations and attitudes of people at work. Information derived from the iWAM can subsequently be used to develop individuals through specific coaching and mentoring.

The iWAM's Strengths...

A great strength of the iWAM personal profiling tool is that team members come to learn that their diversity is their greatest strength and to then negotiate positive ways to work together to greatly increase results, recognising each other's strengths.

The iWAM enables an organisation to understand what drives its people.

The iWAM is completed through an online questionnaire that takes a maximum of 20 minutes, the information is then held in a central depository, where you can access the data at any stage.

The iWAM Process

The iWAM personal profiling tool can be used to identify the motivations and behaviours being used by your teams, it enables you to understand what makes up superior performance.

The iWAM can Locate Team Roadblocks

Using iWAM you can find out where the road blocks are within your team and where to place the focus in order to replicate a culture of high performance behaviours.

The iWAM Measures 48 Thinking Styles

The iWAM assessment measures 48 thinking styles at work and is crucial to performance improvement projects as it forms the basis of understanding different thinking styles and their impact on success.

Using iWAM enables you to understand your entire populations' thinking styles. Having the online iWAM results for all employees means your managers can instantly understand what motivates each of their team and in this way empower them.

Coaching

When your managers understand the attitude and motivational drivers used by their own teams, you can combine the attitudes and motivations that work best and provide all managers with access to this information.

This best practice process can then be used for

• Leadership development
• Understanding key performance drivers
• Looking at what works best within the business
• Recruitment of new team members
• Identifying what may need to change within the business

The Extensive Application of iWAM

Team Workshops Using the iWAM tool

iWAM workshops are designed to change team culture and cohesion and enable teams to understand the strengths of their fellow team members. These workshops enable them to find out how to negotiate a way to talk to and learn from each other based on understanding individual motivators. This then enables them to build on the culture and performance through better understanding their internal and external clients.

When workshops are run they include a mixture of behaviours from your top performers and a series of cases studies to the team in the iWAM workshop.

The iWAM workshop will be presented to the teams to enable them to more effectively become a high performing team, transform the culture and attitude, increase trust between team members and enhance communication.
