Change Style Indicator
The Change Style Indicator (CSI) measures an individual’s preferred style when approaching and addressing change.
​
It provides insights into personal preferences for coping with change and the strengths, pitfalls, perceptions and strategies for each of these preferences.
​
The 3 change style preferences are:
​
-
Conservers: You prefer change that is gradual and prefer to keep to existing policies and procedures
​
-
Pragmatists: You prefer to make changes that serve a function and are logical based on the current situation
​
-
Originators: You prefer a more radical approach to change that challenges the existing structure
​
The CSI training also certifies you to use the Change Navigator (CN) which is a paper based change leadership tool.
The Influence Style Indicator (ISI) assesses an individual’s preferred influencing style and the influencing styles that are under-utilised. The 5 influencing styles are:
​
-
Asserting: You prefer to influence others by challenging other people's ideas and insisting your own ideas are heard and considered
​
-
Inspiring: You prefer to influence people by highlighting shared purposes and possibilities
​
-
Bridging: You prefer to engage and connect with others and use these relationships to influence people
​
-
Negotiating: You prefer to use compromises and concessions to reach outcomes that satisfy your own interest
​
-
Rationalising: You prefer to influence others by offering logic, rational reasons and data to support your ideas
The Decision Style Profile (DSP) uses a collection of business scenarios to examine whether the respondent chooses the most appropriate decision style and whether they consider other factors that influence the decision making process.
​
The 5 decision styles are:
​
-
Directing - You rely on your own judgement and make the decision independently
​
-
Fact Finding - You identify and source specific information from specific people before making a decision
​
-
Investigating - You share the situation with others and ask them for suggestions and possible courses of action before you make the decision
​
-
Collaborating - You ask for input from all the relevant stakeholders (e.g., team, group or individuals) that have an interest in the decision and its outcome
​
-
Teaming - You make the decision with the key stakeholders by reaching a consensus and sharing equally in the decision making process
