Breckenridge Work-Group Indicator™ (BWI™)

The Breckenridge Work-Group Indicator™ (BWI™) – Effectively leading a work-group takes an enormous amount of time and energy because managers have to maintain a balance between conflicting or competing interests in a complex system of coalitions of small groups who “see” business issues very differently. For example, in a work-group of 20 people, the manager has to keep track of nineteen relationships between themselves and others, plus 171 third-party relationships. The dynamics of third-party relationships change and become even more complex when combined into coalitions of 3s and 4s. The revolutionary BWI™ presents a comprehensive 3D evaluation of group-dynamics and barriers to effective communication in work-groups. It gives managers a shorthand way to understand and effectively manage the differences between people, within the context of the larger organization in which they are embedded.

Business Applications – Because it evaluates work-groups, the BWI™ is typically used by middle managers and front-line supervisors to:

• Define Common Purpose and Goals
• Optimize Team Performance and Morale
• Build Group Identity
• Manage Conflict
• Improve Communication
• Increase Creative Problem-Solving
• Coach Direct Reports Within the Context of the Work-Group’s Goals

Used in combination with the Breckenridge Culture Indicator™, the BWI™ often yields substantial return on investment and gives leaders and managers the quantitative data they need to make informed, fact-based decisions.
