Management Drives

The model provides insight into motivations of employees and teams. It is used as a tool for personal, team and organisational development. It does not directly lead to decisions for residents.

Goal and impact

The Management Drives model helps municipal employees and teams understand the relationship between drives and behaviours within team dynamics. This contributes to a better understanding of leadership and communication styles, which improves the functioning of teams within the municipality. The model supports personal, team and organisational development, but has no direct impact on decisions made by residents.

Considerations

  • Privacy: The model does not use personal data of residents. The application is limited to municipal employees who are part of teams that submit to this model.
  • Transparency: The way the model analyses psychological profiles and team dynamics is transparent and understandable to users, allowing them to follow and understand the process.
  • Accessibility: The use of Management Drives is accessible to internal municipal teams and used in organisational and team consulting processes.

Human intervention

Although the algorithm provides insights into drivers of employees and teams, human intervention is always needed when making decisions. The model is a tool for gaining insights and not for making decisions.

Risk management

  • Potential risks: The risk of users misinterpreting the data, or not properly applying the insights provided by the model.
  • Measures: The use of Management Drives is guided by experienced organisational consultants or HR professionals who use the model and support the correct interpretation and application of the insights.

Data

Input

  • Employees of the municipality take part in the Management Drives analysis, when required, in which they answer certain questions for the purpose of creating a drive profile.

Processing

  • The algorithm processes employees' answers and uses them to create a personal or team profile.
  • No personal data of residents or external parties is used.

Output

  • The model generates driver profiles of municipal employees and teams.
  • It provides a report with interpretation of the profile and recommendations for team development and cooperation.

Technical design

  1. Employees of the municipality participate in the Management Drives analysis, if required.
  2. The algorithm processes participants' responses based on psychological motivations.
  3. The system processes the results and provides a report with an overview of a personal or team drive profile.
  4. The insights are discussed and explained to relevant participants for further development.

  • This model is used by specialist detection teams within the police. It helps them quickly detect serious threats, such as planned murders, kidnappings or aggravated assaults, to prevent these crimes. Searching through millions of messages manually is impossible. This model works by prioritising messages based on the model's score.
