What’s it all about…

The Jigsaw Discovery Tool is all about developing people to grow the success of organization. It provides strategic solutions that will make a difference to individuals, teams and organizations. The tool is based on the very latest evidenced research in neuro-science, neuro-leadership, positive psychology and workplace practices and as such is at the cutting edge of human performance.

 

The Jigsaw Transformation Model is a step by step approach to achieve strategic and cultural transformation. It requires commitment, but is experiential and insightful, creating ‘aha’ moments to drive through positive behavioral change that will make a difference to any bottom line.

What makes the Jigsaw Discovery Tool unique amongst so many profiling tools based on the same theories.

It is tactile, experiential, interactive and most  importantly uses memorable and colorful characters to help learners identify their personal preferences. Based on the latest evidenced neuro-science, the Jigsaw Discovery Tool, challenges the “cradle to grave” approach taken by many similar tools and acknowledges the plasticity of the brain. Unlike traditional profiling tools, there are no questionnaires forcing people into either/ or choices.

The Jigsaw Discovery Tool recognizes that people can and do exhibit opposite behaviors, for example the way in which people behave at home is often very different from the way they behave at work.

Jigsaw Discovery Tool workshops are a dynamic mix of activities, discussions and personal reflection. During workshops you will:

  • Be guided through the the Jigsaw Discovery Experience by expert facilitators.
  • See how you can deliver effective  experiential learning in a number of areas such as leadership, change management, communication and team building
  • Explore the underpinning neuro-science

FAQs

The Jigsaw Discovery Tool is unique in that it is practical, engaging and memorable rather than a complex, questionnaire-based assessment. In developing the Jigsaw Discovery Tool, we studied the works of several leading researchers including Carl Jung, Hans Eysenck, Daniel Goleman and Michael Merzenich. That research included both psychological and neurological developments over the last half century.

The outcome of our research is the development of a learning and development experience that encompasses understanding the behaviour of others as well as oneself and creates immediately transferrable skills that enhance workplace productivity. Jigsaw Discovery Tool goes beyond many other profiling tools by answering the “So what”question.

  1. Total learner involvement from beginning to end, there are no third-party reports.
  2. Participants self-development is not restricted by self-limiting profile types.
  3. The results reveal a flexibility between styles rather than a fixed result. The Jigsaw Discovery Tool recognizes that life is not an either or and has done away with the inadequacies of dichotomous views of behavior. We recognize that people can and do display opposing behaviors dependent upon the situation.
  4. The Jigsaw Discovery Tool behavioral framework is simple and easy to use rather than a complex questionnaire.
  5. The Jigsaw Discovery Tool discovery experience is much more memorable than other profiling experiences because it is practical and engaging.
  6. We acknowledge the neuroplasticity of the brain and its ability to adapt to life events. This means that unlike some other tools which indicate that behaviors are fixed, the Jigsaw Discovery tool acknowledges that behaviors can and do change over a period of time.
The Jigsaw Discovery Tool does reveal a personal profile but not one that is based on personality. This is different from most of our competitors. We look at an individual’s behaviour and how it can become more flexible to the needs of a given situation or relationship in order to develop a more successful outcome.

You could say that the Jigsaw Discovery Tool ,unlike other tools, has an outward focus rather than an inward focus. When participants leave a Jigsaw Discovery Tool discovery experience they will have not only learned more about their own preferred behavioural style but are also able to recognise the style of behaviour of peers, managers and customers.

The discovery experience is ideal for staff at all levels of an organisation because it can be incorporated into so many different learning programs.

Because of its non-threatening design, the Jigsaw Discovery Tool fits well into all levels, regardless of seniority, and thus can be delivered across mixed teams as well as in-tact teams. Also, because it is accessible to everyone in the hierarchy, the whole organisation can benefit from the Jigsaw Discovery Tool discovery experience.

Currently it is available in English and Arabic but can be translated into any language as the needed.

A plan of how you intend to integrate the tool with current offerings

A JDT Master trainer will travel to your country and run the TTT workshop for up to 6 people. Once a trainer is accredited, this is for life, regardless of whether they move to another organisation.
Yes, the facilitation team would need to attend an accreditation workshop and then a license be purchased by the organisation.
