Understanding
Our Indicators
Unlike many profiling tools on the market, Shirlaws Compass indicators focus on behaviours rather than personality, providing a more nuanced understanding of how people operate in a business environment.
The indicators explore fundamental business behaviours and behavioural preferences, focusing on management style (ELM), communication and decision-making (TFK), risk appetite (RISK) and productivity (PACE). By mapping and understanding where you are now, Compass provides practical insight to help you navigate your future path.
For individuals, Compass can build greater self-awareness, support personal development and inform career development. Within businesses and organisations, Compass indicators can help teams better understand their behaviours and provide valuable insight to support business strategy, organisational change, recruitment and workplace culture.
For organisations looking to get more from their results, Training by Shirlaws provides courses on how to interpret and apply Compass indicators, helping individuals, leaders and teams understand their behavioural preferences and use those insights in a practical business context.
