Engagement is an important topic, and becoming increasingly more important as a greater portion of the world becomes part of the province of big business. Mapping Motivation for Engagement promotes a new model for engaging and motivating employees which takes a bottom-up, people-centric approach.

MAPPING MOTIVATION FOR ENGAGEMENT: THE PEOPLE-CENTRIC APPROACH!
Time is flying by us as we draw ever closer to the Mapping Motivation for Engagement book launch, with authors Steve Jones and James Sale! This book, and the launch itself, marks a key evolution of thought on employee engagement.
MAPPING MOTIVATION FOR ENGAGEMENT: MEET OUR SPONSORS!

We also introduced our two authors Steve Jones and James Sale.

WORKING ON ENCOURAGEMENT (AND THE DEVIL OF DISCOURAGEMENT)
Increasingly, organisations are beginning to wise up to the idea that change management is one thing. Let’s improve the structure, the strategy or the system, or all these things in tandem. But unless the people can ‘perform’ all their labour is in vain.
Maslow and Motivational Maps
Recently, on a Maps training session, my friend asked me about the strange anomaly of the eight levels of the Maslow Hierarchy, according to the version that we refer to, and the way we fit the nine motivators into it.

They didn't know what it was, but they did know itContinue reading “The Healing Moment: Towards Wholeness”
New Product, New Skills, New Consultants Part 1
Late in 2016, after 18 months of testing, we finally released the new Motivational Organisation Map. What is it? What can it do? And why should that concern you? Or, put more accurately, What’s In It for Me? Perhaps before looking at these questions, vital as they are, one might also consider how does thisContinue reading “New Product, New Skills, New Consultants Part 1”
