How Motivational Maps® work
Motivational Maps identify the order – and intensity – of nine motivators and measure the extent to which these motivators are being met.
Maps provide a team or organisation with a common language through which to discuss motivation and provides strategies for how to harness it on a consistent and on-going basis. Motivational Maps provide vital information that can be used at individual, team or organisation level.
Quick and easy to complete. Collecting data is easy and starts with an online questionnaire which takes just 15 minutes to complete.

Why use Maps?
Leaders of organisations know that they must clarify strategy so people know in what direction their efforts should be targeted. What impact, results and outcomes are being sought? What does ‘good’ look like? This answers the question, the ‘What?’
We know that understanding and developing the skills and behaviours each person possesses (their contribution) is vital – and aligning this with the strategy enables organisations to differentiate themselves both in terms of talent and culture. This answers the question ‘How?’
Yet simply knowing the What? and the How? is not enough. There is a missing ingredient. The ‘Why bother? Motivation.
Motivation is the energy which drives performance.
Without motivation, nothing happens.
Exactly what IS a Motivational Map?
A Motivational Map helps an individual understand, perhaps for the first time, what really drives them: what truly matters to them at work.
The report itself is easy to read – and, at first glance, may seem simple. But there is more to Maps than meets the eye! The true value of Maps is in the exploration of what the Motivators mean for the individual. How are they showing up for them? How do their Motivators enable or derail their success? How do the Motivators combine? How do they impact on how they show up in the world? And how well are they being met? After completing a Map, its these questions that individuals are encouraged to explore with Licensed Practitioners and through our online learning. Its through this experience that individuals feel empowered and start to take more responsibility for their motivation.

Bottom up approach
Motivational Maps put the individual in the driving seat by asking ‘What can I do to increase my own motivation?’
I used to be a bit of a cynic about these types of ‘tests’. I always felt they were trying to put me in some type of ‘box’, to label me. What I found with Maps, and the debrief I had, was that Maps actually gave me a new way of thinking about myself – and how I am seen by others. The descriptions are simply that – descriptions. I was encouraged to come up with what they meant for me. That was incredibly empowering and so useful in discussing with my team.
