AQai Adaptability Assessment

We are delighted that here at the Resourceful People Group we are certified practitioners of the suite of AQai products.

We believe that to enable and support individuals, teams and organisations through significant change we must use a proven method of measuring the Abilities, Characteristics and Environmental factors that impact how we can adapt. This ability to measure our adaptability is called the ‘Adaptability Quotient (AQ)“, in doing so we can explore how we:

• Prepare for change
• Effectively respond to change
• Consider and process new information
• Respond to uncertainty &/or changed circumstances

As a result we are excited that the AQai™ Team created the breakthrough ACE (Abilities, Characteristics and Environmental) model (see below) which explores 15 different sub dimensions in incredible detail.

Using the AQai assessments and the certified AQai coaching methodology we can partner with and help unwrap how an individual &/or a team is coping with all these sub dimensions.

“Decoding AQ will empower you to not only be able to adapt and survive in the future world, but to thrive and realise your best self….everyday feeling more confident in who you are and what you can achieve” – Ross Thornley – Co-Founder & CEO of AQai

As advanced practitioners, here at RPG we can also explore five additional indices with our clients, specifically:

• AQ Change Uncertainty (Cu) – this measures how frequently a person feels unsure about their actions or outcomes when dealing with change. It captures the state of doubt: not knowing how to respond, what the impact will be, or how severe the consequences are. Unlike confidence or competence measures, Cu specifically targets the frequency and intensity of uncertainty experiences during transitions and change.
• AQ Explore & Transform (E&T) – this dimension encapsulates the tendency to venture into uncharted territories, searching for new possibilities like innovative product ideas, service methods, or market opportunities. It signifies an active engagement in evaluating diverse options, revising existing frameworks, and embracing adaptability
• AQ Utilise & Improve (U&I) – this dimension signifies the deliberate focus on leveraging current knowledge and experience to enhance existing products, services, or processes. It indicates a preference for clearly defined tasks, routine activities, and serving established customers with familiar offerings. It’s about incremental growth, maintaining quality standards, and driving customer satisfaction through sustained value.
• AQ Change Readiness Index (CRi) – which indicates how easily the individual can adapt to challenges and organisational changes. If an organisation is undergoing significant change (structural, systematic or strategic) then it is important that employees are ‘on board’ with these changes and are properly equipped to handle them.
• AQ Reskill Index (RSi) – which indicates how able the individual is to learn new skills, processes or adopt new technologies. The higher the AQ Re-skill index, the more likely the individual will be able to learn new skills and the faster they will learn them.

Together these 5 additional indices provides us with incredibly powerful insight both individually but also as a team/organisation as it allows to explore what we call the Adaptive System Map where Cu is the leading signal, CRi is the live capacity, RSi is the bridge to action and E&T + U&I both showing how we embrace the energy during change.

Using the Adaptive System Map, along with the ACE model we now work in partnership with senior leadership teams providing key consultancy services in relation to helping them map out key strategic change for their businesses.

The Adaptability Assessment takes approximately 25 minutes to complete and the participant completes it through a unique process, using Aida who is the AQai interactive assistant.

In addition, once registered, the participants can choose to take additional reassessments over a period of time to see the benefit of their coaching and personal strategies that they decide to undertake to help strengthen their own personal Adaptability Quotient.

The AQa Adaptability Assessment is a unique and powerful tool that can really enable and support us as we continue to adjust our thoughts, behaviours, responses to meet the fluidity of modern life.

Here at the Resourceful People Group we think this is a powerful tool that has already, and will continue to, help individuals, teams and organisations to become aware of; prepare themselves; and provide the opportunity to improve the way that they can adapt and ultimately succeed.
