See where people make their best impact.
The GC Index is an assessment of energy for impact: how each person is most energised to contribute to a role, a team and an organisation.
One person.
The GC Index scores how energised someone is by each of the five proclivities, from 1 to 10. The two highest form their impact combination. It shows energy for impact, not skill or personality, and is discussed with an accredited GCologist.
Create ways to achieve strategic goals
They are at their best when they focus their creative thinking upon the enrichment of strategic objectives, bringing transformational possibilities to that endeavour.
Deliver outcomes through collaboration
At their best, they are effective at delivering through others; helping individual and teams focus upon what needs to be done. They develop others through collaborative action.
Get things done consistently
At their best, they bring energy to getting things done consistently. They recognise when something is “good enough” but appreciate when something has to be done to the highest possible standard.
One team.
Inclusive impact includes the highest proclivity of each person in the team and focusses on the collective energy that can be harnessed to deliver the best possible outcomes for the team.
One organisation.
This is a simplified view: the GC Organisational Impact Map shows how every individual, team and department can make their biggest impact on organisational goals.
- Strategist
- Game Changer
- Play Maker
- Implementer
- Polisher
From one person to the whole organisation.
One assessment gives you the person, the team and the organisation.
It is not a personality test. The GC Index shows where your energy for impact is highest and lowest, and gives every team one shared, non-confrontational language for how each person wants to contribute.
Hover over or tap a proclivity to explore it
Energy, not ability.
The GC Index does not measure skill, intelligence, personality or performance. It shows where someone may have more or less sustained energy for impact when they are at their best.
Impact = Proclivity + Skills ± Personality
