Long term evaluation of Core Process
Summary of Results of Interviews about Core Process work
“Core Process” is a quick and straightforward way to help people find their purpose and unique talent. I interviewed 30 people who had experienced it at least five years ago.
Results (a summary of what interviewees reported)
Remembering
Almost everybody remembered their session vividly. The people enjoyed the experience and valued the results. One or two were dissatisfied because what they discovered was not quite right. Everyone remembered the two words (rarely three) that they had found.
Short term impact
Most people said it had given them insight into what made them tick. Also, core process gave or confirmed a direction to take in a career or life. It would fit or support who they were.
Longer-term impact
It gave clarity, confidence and focus. People used words like “Compass” or “Anchor”. It helps people find what is right for them and grow in that direction. It has salience because it is intensely personal. It helps people understand themselves deeply.
Benefits to Individuals
Much better career choices. Knowing where to focus your energy. Confidence and a sense of direction and purpose. People do what they are good at and enjoy. Knowing what we are good at and what others are good at leads to greater mutual understanding and trust, excitement and energy. Happier people.
Benefits to Organisations
Enhanced trust and teamwork as people now understand each other deeply as unique individuals. People play to their unique strengths and value each other. There is be a much better match of people to jobs leading to greater happiness at work and greater productivity. People are doing the work they love.
