Data Collection

Magus Indexer is user friendly

  • Data collection is web based.
  • The questionnaire is short and user-friendly
  • Total data collection time frames are governed only by respondents’ availability.
  • Indexer can handle unlimited sample sizes, from multiple locations - in fact, any location that has access to the web.
  • This means that the process is low on time consumption, convenient for respondents, inexpensive, and very fast.

Unlike organisational mapping tools that rely on subjective inputs, Indexer uses source data which avoid the need for judgements by respondents.  Instead of judgemental inputs, Magus Indexer uses questions about observable practices and processes.  Respondents' answers are linked to diagnostic outputs through Magus Toolbox inference engine technology.

These robust engines encapsulate current knowledge about best practice and organisational behaviour.  In Magus Indexer, the engine uses this to convert uncontaminated input data through thousands of many-to-many relationships to produce just 15 diagnostic outputs on key dimensions of organisational resilience. Developed in slow time, thereby ensuring that critical relationships are captured and qualified, the Indexer engine operates in fast time.  This produces high quality outputs - and speeds up the discovery process - enormously.

The Indexer database generates graphical reports for the whole target population, by  function, level, and level within function.  The unique power of Magus Indexer stems from the inherent value of the rigorously-researched organisational resilience model on which it is based, combined with its ability to stimulate open dialogue.  The Magus Indexer Diagnostic Tool supports dialogue with employees throughout the organisation . The Diagnostic Tool is a powerful device for targeting the differences between reports, their causes and the action needed to deal with the causes.

The development of increased organisational resilience happens through healthy change processes - without the need for top down, formal change programmes.

Current organisational resilience is reported as a single percentage figure. The speed and ease of use of Indexer means that pre-intervention, interim and post intervention assessments can be used to monitor and maintain progress towards achieving high levels of organisational resilience.
