Awareness – I Opt Strategic Styles
In the Information Age, it is essential to understand how Information Processing works. How would it be if you can see at a glance the kinds and amounts of information people attend to, the way they view risks, and the kinds of outcomes they prefer?
Best of all, what if you could quickly and accuractely see how different people will processing information when working together, where are the opportunities for synergy, where are clashes likely to occur, and what are some remedies to improve group effectiveness?
We can show you all that, and more. Our Information Strategies Consulting is built on the unique value offered by “I Opt” technology and the new field of Organizational Engineering.
"I Opt” is the name of the tool used to collect the information processing preferences of a person. Organizational Engineering is the body of knowledge of “what causes what and why.” Together they provide a new Organizational Development paradigm.
Several features make “I Opt” uniquely effective for improving performance:
 Group focus: “I Opt” was designed as a group assessment (while it offers many rich individual reports). It shows at a glance the
group’s structural dynamics.
Effective: Sources of group vulnerability are specifically identified. Guidance for offsetting vulnerabilities is explicit; Remedies can
usually be put into place immediately.
Non-threatening: “I Opt” uses human information processing rather than psychology. There is no concern about revealing personal
matters.
Accurate: “I Opt” is the only tool simultaneously validated on all 8 accepted tests of validity.
Predictive: “I Opt” can foretell the performance of any group even before the group is formed.
Inexpensive: “I Opt” reports are much less expensive than anything remotely comparable.
For existing groups, an Information Strategies Performance Consultant is able to instantly analyze the group’s strengths and vulnerabilities. The diagnostic is structural. The findings are inherent in the group, not in the individuals. Focus can center on remedies rather than the existence of an issue.
Methods of magnifying strength and offsetting vulnerabilities are automatically provided. The volume of options is large. This allows groups to sort through alternatives in light of their needs and objectives. An Information Strategies Performance Consultant is a participant guiding the group toward solving its problems. Positive results usually begin to occur during the initial debriefing.
The client controls all facets of an “I Opt” analysis. There is no need for extensive preparatory interviews. The analysis and guidance are readily accepted. The recommendations do not require changing people and can be applied immediately.
Improving performance with “I Opt” can begin with a very modest investment. The results are scalable; they are applicable to all areas of work. The investment will continue to pay dividends.
