The power of PRINT® in organisations
Lots of profiling tools can identify and describe your observable behaviours and performances.
PRINT® goes a step deeper. It doesn’t merely state what we do but uncovers why we do it. It reveals why some situations leave us cold. It arms people with the knowledge and understanding to change behaviours so that we can bring out the best in ourselves and our colleagues, all day, every day. It’s a win-win.
This knowledge is what puts PRINT® head and shoulders above other profiling tools. Because knowing why you act in the way you do means you can take ownership of your behaviours, and choose to stay in the best version of you – whatever situation you’re in, and whoever you’re working with.
PRINT® doesn’t just clump people into broad colours, styles or types. Using a unique algorithm that identifies 72 different profiles, it celebrates singularity, equipping people with the means to make their individuality work for them and their organisation.
How was PRINT® born?
PRINT® was created with a single aim: to dramatically improve personal productivity in the workplace.
It was developed 20 years ago by Dr Paul Hertz, building on his work with systems guru Dr W Edwards Deming – the mastermind who pioneered the quality revolution in Japan and the USA. Together they were looking for a way to break through the productivity ceiling, having noticed that putting the best processes and systems in place in place was not enough to guarantee improved performance.
Dr Hertz believed that understanding human behaviour was key to increasing productivity and efficiency. Why? Because it was when people were introduced into processes that everything went awry!
PRINT® was launched in the UK in 2015 and has been benefitting companies of all sizes and in all sectors – either as a stand-alone tool, or incorporated into existing personal development programmes.
How does PRINT® work?
Everything we think, feel and do seems natural to us; just the way we are. However, have you ever stopped to think – why do I do that? PRINT® reveals the Unconscious Motivators® behind our actions – the hidden drivers that we can’t see, but which have a huge impact on our behaviour, productivity and relationships.
We are each driven by a Major and Minor Unconscious Motivator®. These make up our PRINT®.
There are nine Unconscious Motivators®, with 72 possible PRINT Combinations. No one PRINT® is better than another. They’re just different. Just like us! Recognising these differences and building an understanding of how we can use this uniqueness – of ourselves and our colleagues – to our advantage means everyone can be at the top of their game, whatever the match conditions.
The language of PRINT®
Each PRINT® has a span of behaviours from, Best Self® to Shadow. Let’s start with Best Self.
You know those days when you’re positive, productive, totally in flow and bringing the best out of others? This is your Best Self. You can’t always put your finger on why this happens. But PRINT® can.
You behave in Best Self when your Unconscious Motivators® are being satisfied. Simple. However until you know what they are, you are left in the dark. PRINT® will not only shine a light on your unseen Unconscious Motivators® but will provide you with the strategies and power to notice and modify your behaviours. Bringing out your Best Self in every situation, whatever that might be.
Just like you have positive and productive days, we’re sure you’ve also encountered situations where things are just not going your way. Maybe you just can’t seem to get anything done. Or you’re just getting easily frustrated and annoyed. Or even bored and disinterested. You might give yourself a pep talk, willing the day to get better.
But unfortunately, these behaviours are triggered automatically – particularly during stressful situations. So its not easy to get back in control. This is your Shadow Behaviour.
The great news is PRINT® enables you to predict, recognise and prevent Shadow Behaviours, so you can get back to being the productive person everyone loves being around.
