An example of an Individual Values Assessment

        

An Individual Values Assessment, or IVA, is a snapshot in time of an individual’s values and needs to be discussed and explored to be of benefit. Themes are important rather than specifics, a few of the pointers from this are shown below

  • Only one match from this person’s Personal Values to both their current and desired cultural values indicating that they are not taking to work as much of their personality as they could
     

  • “Personal Growth” could be being interpreted in their organisational view as “Organisational Growth”, this needs to be explored
     

  • “Ease With Uncertainty” could be being translated into “Adaptability”, again to be explored with the individual
     

  • Lack of values at level three, self esteem, can indicate something missing in this area, or, as was indeed the case in this specific example, a feeling of confidence in competitiveness and efficiency
     

  • Lack of any personal values at level one, security, indicate that this could be a blind spot that needs more focus, or that this area is fully catered for and needs no attention
     

  • There are no limiting values at all which indicates a very positive outlook
     

  • Five matches from current organisational values to desired organisational values is good, indicating those things which will be being kept going forward
     

  • The focus on levels 5 and 6 would need to be explored in light of the individuals role and focus of attention
     

  • Many other aspects could be discussed with the individual, more so once the team or corporate assessment has been completed
