Motivational Maps

Your happiness and success at work are partly determined by whether or not your core ‘Motivations’ are being met. These motivations are not conscious decisions but emerge from your self-concept, beliefs, expectations, and personality. As with our purpose in life, we do not ‘invent’ motivations; instead, we detect them. It is vital to go with the grain of our Motivations.

What are Motivational Maps?

Motivational maps are a diagnostic tool using technology.  

Motivational Maps are easy to use. Starting with a straightforward questionnaire, which can be completed in minutes. The tool simply questions and generates a unique, individual map to show what motivates you.

The tool automatically analyses your responses and generates a clear and easy-to-understand report that reveals your key motivators and their level of motivation. Each report also provides actionable advice on increasing motivation where it matters.

Motivational Maps is available for individuals, managers, team leaders, HR professionals and coaches:

Motivational Maps Team (Build on the strengths of everyone working together)

Most teams are assembled based on relevant and complementary skill sets; what motivates the individuals in the team is often not considered at all. Indeed, conflicts between individuals are often ascribed to ‘personality’ clashes. However, these clashes may well be and often are motivational in origin.

Team Maps enable leaders to determine whether the team’s energies are harmonised with the mission and whether internal conflicts need addressing. Finally, how to provide rewards that motivate the team: each report contains at least 11 actionable ideas. In short, they enable the team to perform at a higher level.

The team Map supports change management programs by improving communication with a shared language. This creates smoother transitions and staff engagement.

So why do I use Motivational Maps?

They are the only tool on the market which measures motivation.

The information is captured in a 15-page unique report.

They are easy to use, and within ten minutes, people understand the language of Motivational Maps® and start to use it.

Unlike a personality assessment tool, which provides information that tends to stay constant throughout your life, a Motivational Map report can be more fluid, capturing your current motivators. A report can, therefore, change depending on your current financial, emotional and physiological needs, making it a far more reactive tool.

They can be used effectively within teams by collating data across the team, department, and entire company, producing individual and team maps. This enables leaders and organisations to gain valuable insight into what drives employee culture, engagement, and performance and take action accordingly.

They are easily scalable, with online learning helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of their Map without needing face-to-face interventions. This enables organisations to roll out Maps® on a big scale cost-effectively.

They are very competitively priced.
