- Your Power Map

posted Mar 12, 2009 4:58 PM by William Smith   [ updated Apr 10, 2009 3:50 PM ]
ODII is testing a new computerized beta version of its Power Map. The Power Map is an instrument that uses color preferences to give you insight into your purpose,the power it creates and how you use tht power. It helps you understand and develop the full potential of your leadership capacities. 
The Power Map is based on the five-dimensional power theory AIC (Appreciation Influence and Control) described in the book "The Creative Power: Transforming Ourselves, Our Organizations and Our World" William E. Smith (2009) in which the properties of color as a five dimensional language of our brain and nervous system are developed.

A Beta, computerized version of the Map will be introduced in the second half of April. 2009  the Beta Version will be available free to those who agree to provide feedback on their experience with the instrument. contact wesmith@odii.com if you would like to try the beta version. 

The Power Map is not a personality test but a holonomic, educational and development process that needs to be repeated several times over time to gain its full value. The Power Map :.
  1. Reveals  both the conscious and unconscious aspects of your purposes and how they influence the actions you take and the reactions you receive from your world.
  2. Creates a dynamic view of the reciprocal power relationships that exist  between yourself, others and your world.
  3.  Recognizes that how you go about the pursuit of your purpose depends on the situation you are in and gives you feedback on your power dynamics as they occur in different environments. 
  4. Summarizes your power pattern as the development of your leadership potential over time: from what you have learnt from past experience to what you hope for in the future and how you are currently managing those possibilities and constraint
The Powr Map can be used as the base building block in coaching for leaadership development, organizational, institutional, and cultural change and transformation.
