Cognitive Mapping

 

 

It appears that we are now living and working in World 2.0 - but what does that mean?

We are encouraged to share our knowledge. 

We are directed to work collaboratively.

We are supposed to change our behaviour to match the new world of work.

We need to be People 2.0

However ...

... none of the above will happen unless we WANT it to.

 

So how to do this?

Using the prinicples of Attitudinal Development, the Situational Knowledge Profiler™ (SKP)

measures an individual's knowledge, skill and attitude within an identified situation with a view

to highlighting how to affect personal attitude and behaviour.

It uses 54 statements of fact to provide meaningful information about how someone uses their

knowledge, skills and attitude in their workplace.  Then it maps the results on our unique

three bi-polar dimensional model.

 

Situational Knowledge Profiler

SKP™ is based upon more than six years of research and development and has shown its value

in helping individuals become self-aware, learn more effectively, better achieve their potential

by ultimately changing their behaviour.

This can impact upon their life goals and aspirations AND their work performance.

Different to employee motivation, intelligence or personality instruments, SKP™ results can

change depending on the situation being addressed.  Its dimensions have been validated by over

50 years of published research into taxonomies of learning domains.  Further evidence (from KnowledgeWorx, the research unit for OFQT) has examined the relationship between an individual, their use of preferred behavioural learning responses and work performance.

The profiler is quick to administer, yet produces highly actionable results that provide a real

focus for personal development and improvement.   SKP™ has evidence of 'predictive validity'

and offers a valid and proven basis for achieving attitudinal change.

 

Languages, Formats And Results

The profiler is currently available in English and in a range of formats that allow customers to choose the one that best meets their needs:

  1. Online version of the profiler (release end 2010)

  2. Soft copy of the profiler in a word document sent by email

  3. Hard copy of profiler by post (P&P charges will apply)

Clear instructions about how to complete the profiler are provided.  A detailed analysis of the results (profiler) will be sent with our Action with Reflection for Learning (ARL) Workbook™ 

 

   Results are presented on a map showing your scores against

   European norms.

 

 

 

  We also use a 'traffic-light' feedback approach, with easy to use

  guidance and tips on how to address blockages that affect peoples'

  attitudes to change.

 

This tool can be used to improve why someone needs to learn and can be used with an individual, training group or as part of a coaching programme.

It is currently being used by different sectors in the UK and in Regional Development Agencies across Europe.   Other languages will shortly be available including: Russian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Romanian, Italian, French, Polish and Greek.

The importance of attitudinal development

Less than a third of employees are motivated to perform well in their job by money, according to 2010 data released by the National Training Awards and YouGov. The biggest motivator for 43% of staff surveyed was having a passion for their job or firm where they work and adopting the right attitude to their work.

Seven out of ten workers said that an employer's commitment to staff training and learning is important in helping them feel valued and 69% say it is important in making them want to work hard. It is fascinating how the more important values and motivations of the UK workforce come to light.

Particularly, organisational aspects such as management styles and the provision of training and development opportunities can be very important in keeping a workforce motivated, productive and happy"
