Innermetrix

Innermetrix offers the most comprehensive suite of business diagnostic tools and developmental processes on the market today, which helps you find the What, Why and How of Peak Performance in yourself and your clients. This combines the values, attributes and DISC index profiles as well as the Organisational Health Check.

The Values Index measures what really drives an individual, what their values are, as well as their beliefs and personal interests.  The DISC Index measures an individual’s preferred behavioural style. The Attribute Index measures an individual’s critical thinking and decision making skills.

The Organisational HealthCheck looks at the eleven core business dimensions that drive performance.

“I found Innermetrix to be a hugely valuable and thought-provoking exercise.  It is shaping my thinking on how I take the authenticity and effectiveness of my own leaderships to new levels, as well as helping unlock potential across the organisation. I would thoroughly recommend Innermetrix for anyone who is looking to be the type of leader who is true to their own natural strengths and who wishes to recruit and work well with colleagues who have different but complementary drivers.”

Domhall Campbell Chief Executive MG Alba

“There are any number of profiles that can help team building and throughout the years I have used a number.  The innermetrix is the most detailed and assists developing self-awareness.  When used across the team then there was a better shared understanding of the strengths and how we could use these to improve our services.
