What happens after you choose a diagnostic tool?

Self-assessment tools

We arrange for the diagnostic survey to be sent to identified staff to complete and return. There are a number of ways that these results can be provided to the participants.

1. Individual 90 minute debriefing session 

One of our accredited coaches will meet with the participant to confidentially debrief the results.

2. Group debriefing workshop

The workshop is typically half a day in duration and all team members receive their results at the same time. It provides team members with an opportunity to understand the instrument and their individual profile, and what the different profiles mean for group and team dynamics. Group preferences are also explored. The workshops are an interactive, engaging and fun way to build self and group awareness.

At the end of the workshop there are self-reflection activities and implementation of both individual and team action plans to continue the process of personal and professional development. This ensures the new knowledge continues to bring benefits to your working environment and culture.

3. A combination of individual debriefing and a group workshop.

360-degree feedback tools

Interaction provides briefing content for both participants and raters on the process and the instrument. We arrange for the diagnostic survey to be sent to the participants identified raters to complete and return. We then organise a 90-minute debrief session to explain the tool, contextualise the feedback results, and support the participant to develop an action-orientated plan that allows them to work toward enhanced leadership.

We can also facilitate a team building session for a group of leaders to build a cohesive and collaborative leadership approach, informed by the key themes identified through the 360-degree process.

We usually require a three to four-week turnaround for all diagnostic tools to allow respondents enough time to complete and return the survey.

Our diagnostic instruments are often coupled with coaching for heightened impact. Learn more about our coaching here.
