Practicing Excellence in Organizational Development

Tools and Methods

We use assessment products, simulations, diagnostics, and facilitation methods to improve team performance, develop leaders, resolve conflict, and build effective interpersonal relationships at work.

Psychometric Assessments

Globally recognized tools to evaluate behaviour, preferences, leadership potential, and development needs.

Included instruments

Cubiks In-depth Personality Questionnaire (CIPQ): Assesses underlying aspects of personality across 17 distinct areas aligned to recognized Big Five dimensions, supporting selection and development.

Personality and Preference Inventory (PAPI): Evaluates behaviour and preferred work styles using an interactive questionnaire, useful for role fit, team alignment, and development planning.

MBTI Step I and Step II: Provides insight into motivations, strengths, and communication preferences with broad organizational applications including leadership and coaching.

FIRO-B: Helps understand interpersonal needs and behaviour in teams, strengthening communication, leadership, and collaboration.

Typical outcomes: clearer role fit, improved team dynamics, targeted development plans.

Simulation Exercises

Interactive exercises simulating real business tasks to observe competencies in realistic settings.

At Wisnes we use various simulation exercises that accurately assess how individuals perform in the areas central to everyday business life. These interactive and highly engaging exercises simulate work-related tasks in a business environment, demonstrating each participant's competencies in a realistic setting.

Our custom designed simulation exercises include role plays, presentations, business cases and group exercises that deliver a clear insight into how a participant will genuinely respond to issues and tasks commonly faced in the workplace. In addition to this, our simulation exercises offer the candidates an authentic experience that leads to an understanding of what is expected of them within their roles.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Practical tools to improve communication, presentation, negotiation, rapport building, and confidence.

Our modules based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques prove useful in virtually every aspect of personal and organizational development. These powerful and easy-to-use tools enable participants to enhance their skills in areas such as communication, presentation, negotiation, rapport building, sales and customer service.

By creating greater awareness and control of oneself as well as a better appreciation of other people's feelings and behavioural, NLP techniques provide a practical approach to dealing with stress and conflict. Using NLP also facilitates increased self-belief, assertiveness and confidence.

Large Group Interventions (LGI)

Facilitated, participative events to create shared understanding and accelerate system-wide change.

We firmly believe that for any transformation or vision to succeed, the organisation as a whole must choose to move together towards a desired future.

Using LGIs, or large group interactive events we successfully involve the whole organization (or a significant representation of the organization) in the transformation or change process. Through facilitating participative conversations, we create a shared understanding around system-wide issues which makes it possible for everyone to collaboratively determine the actions needed for strategic change to occur. This in turn allows for a whole-system transformation to take place more quickly and effectively and builds an organization wide commitment towards the shared goal.

Surveys and Diagnostics

In-house tools and structured data collection to decode organizational DNA and identify actionable interventions.

An organization is known by its people, culture and the subtle systemic behaviour that can only be studies or assessed either in a naturalistic setting or through conversations.

At Wisnes, we believe in decoding the DNA of every individual, team and organization in order to support and enhance systems. Surveys and diagnostics serve as handy tools in initiating the process of organizational management and development.

Through a team of specialists, we design in-house survey tools and diagnostic measures in form of structured questionnaires, interview guides, 360 degree feedback, general health index surveys, organizational development diagnostics, competency mapping, assessment centre etc. We are also adept at collecting behavioural data through personal interviews and focus group discussions. Our survey tools and diagnostic measures provide in-depth solutions. From creating selection tools, running an assessment centre to creating team interventions and spotting the hi-pot in the system, we do it all.

Experiential Learning

Hands-on activities and reflection to develop knowledge, skills, and values through direct experience.

Our experiential learning interventions purposefully engage participants in direct experience and focused reflection. Using specific hands-on activities and tools that can be used both in a classroom as well as an outdoor setting, we promote a fun, interactive learning environment that focuses on developing knowledge, skills, and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting.

All our modules encompass a variety of well-planned, supervised and assessed experiential learning activities that stimulate inquiry by creating an awareness of individual behaviour and its effects on a team. By providing opportunities to take initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for the results, these experiential learning sessions engage participants intellectually, creatively, emotionally and physically to provide opportunities for learning from natural consequences, mistakes, and successes.
