Diamond Model:
A unique three dimensional personal development model which includes our “Seven Sights”, “Stars & Invisible Barriers” and “Kanes Knowledge Hierarchy”. This model is used to chart out the gap analysis of individuals and organisations. It is a predictive technique as much as it is a strategic tool which is used to draw up a plan of action.
-
Krypton Model (for High Performance Leadership):
Psychometric cognitive style assessment will be completed by each participant. Each participant will be given formal feedback in booklet format.
The verbal feedback during the session will help participants understand their own unique style in relation to idea generation and thinking, process for completing tasks and taking decisions and managing change. This will help participants reassess their current behavior as required to engage more successfully with others whose preferred cognitive style is different from their own. Hence they will be able to take on leadership roles with more determination and confidence and build collaborative teams capable of higher performance and organizational transformation.
