iMap Leadership Accelerator

Strategic Solutions International, Inc. captures and analyzes data that measures the four layers driving human behavior: Passions, Strengths, Expectations, and Stress Reactions.  This suite of behavioral analysis, called an iMap, provides practical guidance for leaders and their teams, delivered through in-person consultation and facilitation of team sessions, or through SSI’s online platform, iMapMyTeam (iMT).  The information is powerful, easy to understand and affordable. We have identified DAF squadrons that would benefit from this information, specifically during times of leadership transition when quickly and effectively onboarding and rebuilding teams is a priority.  If a leader is struggling in their new command, the cause is rarely a lack of technical or operational competency — instead, it is often a shortage of leadership soft skills or an inability to connect with the people under their command.  To accelerate and expand the visibility of leadership, SSI utilizes a proprietary, psychometrically validated survey to capture all the data needed to produce team-centric coaching guides.  The survey takes only 15-20 minutes to complete, providing reports and insights that allow leaders and their teams to: 1) identify blind spots within team dynamics, 2) communicate direction in the most efficient manner, 3) avoid or more quickly resolve conflict among team members, and 4) assign the right people to right tasks.  Our main goals in Phase II are to extend SSI’s platform availability through the development of a responsive web platform as well as transform the iMap’s system of delivery through Artificial Intelligence (AI) so that team insights can become actionable with greater speed and accuracy. Through the integration of additional data sources with AI, we would like to expand the capabilities of the existing system to meet the immediate needs of leaders and their team members, delivering critical guidance at the right time, regardless of location.  By integrating soft-skills assessment with additional data, such as job experience, certifications, geographical locations, or performance metrics, the AI-driven iMT mobile platform will minimize onboarding time by maximizing the effectiveness of its teams.
