Question

How do you measure energy for impact at individual, team or organisation level?

Terminology

Organisations are normally pretty good at measuring experience, expertise and personality. However, when it comes to measuring the level of impact an individual might have in a role, this often proves very difficult.

This is where The GC Index ® provides a game changing experience through measuring energy for impact across five proclivities – areas where we as individuals are naturally energised and engaged.

These five proclivities* suggest individual differences in the following ways:

Strategists: Bring energy to making sense of patterns and trends in events and data; looking for causal
relationships.

Game Changers: Bring energy to new ideas and possibilities; to creative thought

Play Makers: Bring energy to seeking consensus in groups that leads to shared endeavour

Implementers: Bring energy to delivering tangible outcomes

Polishers: Bring energy to improving processes, products, solutions

Experience

The GC Index® is an Organimetric (organisation metric). It measures the real and potential impact
that everyone can make to a role, team and/or organisation.

The GC Index® augments and complements existing HR and Talent data. This enables organisations to
drive better people decisions based upon the impact and contribution their people can actually make.

It enables organisations to:

  • Gain unique insight on people impact
  • Improve business outcomes
  • Create a common language across
    the business
  • Increase individual performance
  • Increase team performance
  • Make more informed and accurate
    people decisions

The GC Index® Organimetric provides a common language and framework that identifies five key ways (we call them proclivities) in which people can make an impact to a role, team and/or organisation.

It is a language and framework that delivers a foundation of impactful collaboration throughout an entire organisation across all levels. Truly driving an inclusive workforce and culture.

Research

The GC Index®. Authors: Dr John Mervyn-Smith, Nathan Ott and Professor
Adrian Furnham with guidance from Nigel Evans

The GC Index® grew out of a practical need by corporations to identify ‘Game Changers’. Those individuals who had the capability to transform corporate/business functioning to some degree; to initiate and drive
transformational change.

This need was the subject of many conversations between senior corporate executives and consultants from the business insight and talent firm eg.1. These conversations led to a series of research projects described below and, with them, the development of The GC Index®, an instrument that was, initially, developed to identify ‘Game Changers’.

The complete framework now describes 5 proclivities- not independent- for making an impact and contribution in the world of work. The GC Index then, measures proclivities not competence.
