Advantages of
OpenMet’s Psychological Foundation
Open Met is a unique instrument for measuring intangibles. You
get information that you can’t get by any other traditional
method of behavioral analysis. Based on a thorough investigative
work, it has been designed to detect and measure perceptions –
unconscious as well as conscious ones – in people (employees,
customers, collaborators). Thus OpenMet uncovers potential problems
and hidden opportunities that are of great value to the business
process.
Compared to other traditional methods of investigation, OpenMet offers the following advantages:
- Richer information:
While traditional methods measure someone’s
opinion of an aspect of the company, OpenMet measures the perception
that someone has of an experience. The information obtained
using the OpenMet system is much richer because the measurement
isn’t focused upon rational symptoms but towards the intangible
causes that have rational effects
- Quantify strong
and weak points: OpenMet is as useful in detecting
problems in troubled organizations as it is in maintaining and
improving efficiency in healthy organizations because it’s
a medium that quantifies the strong points as well as the areas
that need improvement
- Non aggressive:
With the application of traditional methods of investigation,
people think they’re the ones being evaluated, whereas
using OpenMet, people think they’re the ones evaluating
the company
- Non-intrusive:
OpenMet Group’s consultants try to intervene as little
as possible because we understand that the analysis will be
more successful if it’s applied and supervised by the
company’s own employees since they know the idiosyncrasies
of the organization
- More precise and
reliable: Other traditional methods of measurement
don’t have a specific psychological groundwork like OpenMet’s.
OpenMet is based upon the psychological methodology know as
SAM and it goes deeply into the unconscious attitudes in a wide
range of aspects whch makes it therefore more precise and reliable
- Measuring experiences:
Traditional methods use direct questioning, which only provides
the tip of the iceberg at a given moment in time. OpenMet’s
questionnaires are drawn up in such a way that they discover
and display perceptions in the people questioned, whether conscious
or unconscious, through a semantic discrepancy based on adjectives.
This methodology allows for the measurement of an experience,
the integral sum of feelings accumulated over a long period
of time
