The O'Brien Principle™
People are the architectureof every organization.
Perceived failure in the workplace is not always due to a lack of ability. Capable, committed, and highly skilled individuals can struggle when who they are is misaligned with the environment in which they are expected to perform.
What is The O'Brien Principle™?
The O'Brien Principle™ is a human dynamics architecture created by Nan O'Brien to identify the underlying characteristics that influence how individuals make decisions, communicate, respond to their environments, and interact with others. By assessing these characteristics and examining how they function within the workplace, The O'Brien Principle™ provides a framework for greater alignment, strengthening performance and retention.
Programs & Applications
KEYNOTE
The O'Brien Principle™ can be presented to audiences through an entertaining and engaging combination of insight, humor, interaction, and real-world application. The presentation connects the principles of The O'Brien Principle™ to situations audiences recognize in themselves and their workplaces.
WORKSHOPS & SEMINARS
Interactive workshops and seminars, including half-day and full-day programs, are designed to move beyond the concepts of The O'Brien Principle™ into practical application. Participants use The O'Brien Principle™ assessment tool for individual self-assessment, with breakout sessions providing opportunities to identify and explore differences in how individuals make decisions, communicate, interact with others, and respond to their environments.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The O'Brien Principle™ can be implemented as part of a company-wide assessment, or focused within departments, teams, and/or defined groups. Application can be tailored to the size, structure, and unique needs of the workplace, whether a small-to-midsize company, a large corporation, government agency, or public institution. Results from The O'Brien Principle™ assessment tool identify patterns of alignment and misalignment and provide a foundation for more effective placement and supervision throughout the organization.
GOVERNMENT & INSTITUTIONAL
Custom programs can be developed for government agencies and public institutions, tailored to accommodate the distinct structures, responsibilities, requirements, and constraints within which they operate.
Authenticity without alignment creates workplace dissonance.
