Toolbox - Self-understanding

More about three of the Lines of Sight tools

The Obstacles/Opportunities Quotient (QO2™)

Determines the 'balance' of effort people put into seeing the opportunities and obstacles at work, the degree of balance within individuals, teams and organisations influencing issues such as conflict resolution, resource access, work allocation, team performance and organisational vision.

How it works:

  1. 50 questions
  2. 15 – 20 minutes to complete on-line
  3. Profile plus Development Guide
  4. Useful instrument for individuals and teams contemplating change.

Alex Sutherland is an accredited QO2 consultant.

What's my Learning Style?

A ‘tool’ to assist individuals maximise development opportunities by building on preferred styles of learning. Using as a starting point an acknowledgement that personal style is largely determined by how assertive and expressive someone is. Two more dimensions are added:

  • Action Orientation versus Thinking Orientation
  • Independent Learning versus Group Learning.

How it works:

  1. 20 questions
  2. 8 – 10 minutes to complete (paper-based)
  3. Useful ‘tool’ for an individual wanting to prepare a development plan that maximises their preferred style
  4. Best for individuals and can be used by a team committed to creating a learning environment.

Lifestyle Review

A process that uses story telling as a source of learning and development. Key life events are identified, documented and discussed; the stories providing insight and inspiration for the future. A useful ‘tool’ for someone considering a change in direction.

How it works:

  1. 30 – 45 minutes personal reflection, followed by
  2. 2 hours of guided discussion, and
  3. the preparation of a report by the mentor.
