We are accredited to use the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the world's most widely used personality assessment, to assess how people perceive the world and make decisions, an essential starting point for the bespoke training J A D specialises in.

In our changing world, workplace teams are increasingly varied and complex. The MBTI tool presents a framework designed to cut through this complexity and enable teams to function more productively. The MBTI tool, with its Jungian foundation, is a natural for the job because it is based on the premise that we all have unique gifts to offer and challenges to overcome. In teams we work together, attempting to maximise each member's special talents, thereby minimising gaps in knowledge and skills. Applying the MBTI tool to team and teambuilding provides us with the understanding to make that happen.

Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator J A D Associates can design and facilitate tailored team development workshops to address six core issues affecting teams today:

• Change
• Communication
• Leadership
• Problem solving/conflict resolution
• Stress
• Team culture

If there are managers within your organisation that have a particular development need that a traditional training course cannot satisfy, then J A D Associates can also offer performance coaching sessions on either an individual or team basis.
