Why the ITPQ is important?
Organisations face different challenges at different times. Unfortunately, people do not always adapt to these changes. Sometimes this is because they have developed a habitual mode of operating – perhaps based on a “what worked well in the past should be good enough now!” mentality. In today’s changing world this does not always work. It is important to keep evaluating and updating our ideas on what are the most appropriate things to do. There is very little technology available for analysing the link between the current challenges and the human input required in behavioural terms.
What does using the ITPQ achieve?
The ITPQ can be used to collect a variety of views concerning the current or future challenge of the team in such a way that:
- different perceptions can be identified – by asking not only the team members but also the different stakeholders to complete the ITPQ a variety of views can be sought, and the real challenges clarified;
- mismatches between current and ideal behaviour are highlighted – by comparing the ITPQ with the MTR-i™ the agenda for behavioural change can be specified;
- a strategy for change can be agreed – where there are differences between roles performed and challenges faced, there is a need to ensure that the right things are done – sometimes by current members flexing their roles and sometimes by seeking additional resources and support.
The ITPQ is part of an integrated approach to improving team performance linking personality, behaviour and performance challenge which can all be addressed in a consistent and progressive way.
How is the ITPQ different?
ITPQ uses Jung’s theory of Psychological Type to define the range of important contributions that can be made in a team. It then solicits the key behaviours required to make it happen. No other behavioural questionnaire approaches performance issues so directly. The ITPQ is different because of its focus on the performance challenge, its underpinning using a major theory of human performance and its link with two other questionnaires using the same model allowing an integrated approach to be used in a strategic way.
Advanced analysis and reporting
The ITPQ is a survey the views of groups of stakeholders to give their perspective about a team. ITPQ reports identify the commonality or diversity of views held by the different stakeholders – the team themselves, their direct reports, their peers and colleagues or even their customers.
