PAI™ (Personal Adaptability Inventory) framework

Our practical psychometric for building resilience and adaptability during disruption

Resilience and adaptability can be built in your Organisation

The problem with people is that predictability makes life easy for our brains.

The uncertainty of Change, plus the emotional roller-coaster associated with it (re-thinking, pivoting and starting over again) puts both our brains and our bodies to work. And it is important to develop resilience and adaptability in people in your organisation to meet the challenge.

Resilience is dynamic and it can be developed. But it can also become depleted over time. In fact our own research points to the fact that 76% of people feel overwhelmed by change.

Organisations simply don't Change unless, and until, the people inside them do. The problem is that predictability makes life easier for our brains and bodies.

Audra Proctor

CEO, Changefirst

Academic and field research by Changefirst indicates that individuals have preferences - characteristics they overuse and underuse during times of Change and disruption. Knowing whether these preferences will hinder or enable performance - and also where people development is crucial to Change and transformation success is key.

Optimistic

A belief that Change will have positive outcomes

Self-assured

A belief in one's own capabilities to benefit from Change

Focused

An ability to prioritise goals to pursue in face of difficulties

Open to ideas

Open-ness to alternative ideas and solutions

Seeks support

Open-ness to the involvement and support of others

Structured

An ability to make and flex a plan for personal change

Proactive

Readiness to step into the relative 'unknown'

PAI™ enables you to identify right characteristics to develop and boost Resilience and:

  • enables leaders and their teams to proactively assess their own behaviours in relation to the 7 Resilience characteristics
  • helps you recognise and understand the behaviours associated with overuse and underuse of the characteristics in specific situations
  • allows you to craft realistic personal development and action plans to build adaptability levels at individual, team or organisational levels

3 top-line indicators of Higher Personal Resilience and Adaptability

Here are 3 indicators from our research that are associated with Higher Personal Adaptability:

  1. In an adverse situation people have a learning or coping reaction, rather than a victim reaction.
  2. People understand or share the feelings of others, can understand views that they disagree with and see what is legitimate about someone acting in ways they dislike.
  3. Things work better when Resilient people are involved. They interact with the world in a flexible, synergistic way.
