At Grant Dale Consulting (GDC) we believe that good decisions are based on sound information. To support individuals, groups and organisations we offer a range of highly respected diagnostics that provide a wealth of insight.
Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI) – 360-degree Feedback
The Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI) helps individuals develop constructive thinking and behavioural styles that are proven to be related to job performance, quality of interpersonal relationships, and problem-solving effectiveness. The LSI is an organisational tool that uses both self-assessment and colleague feedback to identify an individual’s thinking and behavioural styles. By providing insights into their strengths and areas for development, it empowers them to embark on their own journeys to being better at, and enjoying more, everything they do.
Designed for managers, leaders and those in professional and technical roles, the LSI has helped millions of people to understand and change the way they think and behave. It has also received great feedback on LinkedIn, and been referenced in numerous management and psychology books and journals, newspapers and magazines.

L/I provides those in leadership positions with unique insights into their leadership strategies and the impact of these on the behaviour and performance of those being led. It is this researched relationship between strategies and behavioural impact that makes L/I quite unique.

Management Impact™ (M/I)

Team Simulations
Team Simulations enable teams to:
- learn the interpersonal (people) and rational (task) behaviours consistent with successful teamwork
- demonstrate the positive impact of constructive group styles on team performance
- improve effectiveness of team problem-solving and decision-making skills
- strengthen cooperation and communication among team members

Group Styles Inventory™ (GSI)
When individuals combine and work together effectively, then the outcome is greater than the simple sum of the parts (synergy) and improvement in performance can, and does, occur. The Group Styles Inventory™ (GSI) is a team based measure, which assesses the behaviours observed by team members during a team decision-making session. Each team member completes the inventory and the combined responses represent a clear profile of the behaviours used by the team in its efforts to achieve quality decisions with high acceptance.
The GSI measures the constructive and defensive elements of group processes with the 12 styles used in the Human Synergistics® Circumplex. Certain group styles are productive and lead to high quality decisions to which members are highly committed. Other group styles are counterproductive and lead to solutions of marginal or poor quality and limited group acceptance. Used in conjunction with a group problem-solving simulation, the GSI provides significant practical insight into how a group functions, allowing the group to focus its efforts precisely on where improvement is needed. The GSI may also be used following a real-life situation (eg management meetings), and as an ongoing measure for group performance.

Organisational Culture Inventory® (OCI)
A special version of the OCI is used to create a vision of the ideal or preferred culture for the organisation. Using this, leaders can define the culture that would best help their organisation achieve its vision and support long term effectiveness. This ideal culture profile then becomes the standard against which the actual organisational culture is then compared, resulting in a gap analysis that focuses improvement efforts where they can make the most difference.

Organisational Effectiveness Inventory™ (OEI)
The Organisational Effectiveness Inventory™ (OEI) complements the Organisational Culture Inventory® (OCI) by measuring the Causal Factors (Levers for Change) that shape culture and the outcomes of culture at the individual, group and organisational levels. The OEI provides a research based alternative to employee opinion surveys, linking climate and culture:
- What people experience as members of the organisation
- The impact this has on culture
- How culture in turn impacts important outcomes at the individual level (eg engagement), at the group level (eg teamwork), and at the organisational level (eg adaptability and quality)
This comprehensive process assesses virtually all internal factors and conditions that are likely to impact on your organisation’s performance. Together the OCI and the OEI provide a complete picture of the case for change and the levers for change. With the OCI measuring preferred and actual operating culture, and the OEI measuring organisational practices and outcomes, clear strategies emerge for managing improvement.
