I use ValueMatch, for example, at the start of team coaching to gain insight into the underlying dynamics. The resulting team profile gives a clear view of what is happening and makes it possible to choose effective interventions. High-quality professional profiles for a reasonable price. In addition, user feedback is used as the basis for continuous development.

I first came across ValueMatch’s work after travelling to Switzerland to undertake the ‘spiral dynamics experience’. It was a fantastic, fun and enjoyable training that was very professionally set up and held. This event included a ValueMatch online spiral dynamics assessment, similar to others I had taken before. However, I found ValueMatch’s tools offered more breadth of view and more precision. I realized how useful this was personally and how it would translate into much greater efficiencies and effectiveness for the often challenging territory of organizational change. This led me to join the certification training and I now really appreciate having access to the excellent ValueMatch resource as part of my offer.

It is more than essential to know the borders of potentials in a company, when we redesign the portfolio of service companies. The clarity that we gain from ValueMatch assessments of the culture as well as the value systems of the stakeholders we have so much more accuracy in choosing the projects of development. That saves precious energy in the discussions, as a common ground becomes obvious in a short time.

Most surprisingly the participants create a consensus quite quick yet they haven´t had that clear picture of that common ground before. My approach focuses on the inner energy of the customer system and it creates a great resonance and clarity for my customers. Thus they attract the clients they can serve by their authentic strengths.

Organizational culture may appear to give an overall picture from the outside. However, when viewed from a differentiated perspective, individual areas differ considerably in their guiding principles. ValueMatch enables this differentiated view and thus facilitates cohesion and cooperation throughout the company. ValueMatch is a practicable model for shedding light on personal working and thinking patterns. But what really puts butter on the bread of personal development is the clear presentation of the values that we reject or devalue in ourselves and others. This makes the ValueMatch instruments that assists in maturing both on a personal and interpersonal level.

My leadership development and coaching practices are focused on equipping leaders to function effectively in a changing world.  The ValueMatch instruments are perfectly calibrated to open the eyes of participants to the impact of differing value systems on workplace culture, individual performance, effective communications strategies and driving change.  Every time I use them in a seminar or individual coaching setting I hear responses like: “I never understood why people acted the way they do until learning this”, “I wish I had been aware of this information earlier in my career” or “I now know how to speak more effectively to my team/relatives/friends”.  The reports are clear and concise, and my clients seem to grasp the information quickly.

This ValueMatch Certification program really made me aware of how this unique values-based model could benefit people toward a new experience of organizational and personal empowerment. Time spent in the training gave me a chance to learn how theory can be applied in real-world settings, to interact with others and to explore its applicability to individual and organizational development through a human systems lens. I am grateful to the ValueMatch trainers for sharing their huge knowledge and experience.

The use of the ValueMatch instruments enables us to map the undercurrent (drives and culture) and ‘invisible’ processes in organizations and within teams in an accessible way. The ValueMatch profiles allow us to engage in a deep-level conversation with others on topics such as values, communication, cooperation, strategy, leadership and culture. For us, as the official Dutch SDi certification institute, the ValueMatch instruments have been an invaluable addition to bringing Spiral Dynamics to the attention of a large group of people. In addition, it is important to us that ValueMatch has developed profiles that are in line with the essence and the original evolutionary character of the SDi approach.

ValueMatch enables the teams I work with to reflect and speak on a level of high complexity in a fairly short span of time. As a plus, it fosters a developmental mindset, which contributes to a adaptive attitude and culture.

With ValueMatch, I now have an instrument for my clients to help them map the culture of their organization and individual views on cooperation and leadership. In addition, ValueMatch research provides valuable clues and orientation about which developments emerge at individual, team and/or organizational levels.

The ValueMatch instruments allow us to quickly identify and prioritize the cultural and structural issues we should address in the workshops we do conduct with our customers. Without the instruments our workshops take more time to get to the point.

The cultural and personal value profiles of ValueMatch give me structure in complex situations and clarity about what is really important between people and organizations. It gives me practical tools to achieve a breakthrough in these kinds of situations.

I just love the moment when a team suddenly gets the vocabulary for what was going on around them. Group values profiles do this. They are a beautiful and powerful tool in team coaching.

As a Transpersonal Psychologist and an educator deeply invested in understanding and nurturing the cognitive and emotional development of my students, I’ve found the ValueMatch assessment tool to be an unparalleled resource. Its accuracy and insightful analysis have proven to be invaluable in my Stages of the Mind (SoM) course, offering a unique lens through which to view and guide each student’s journey. It’s the only assessment tool I consider indispensable across all my courses, seamlessly integrating with my teaching philosophy to foster a more profound and personalized experience. I wholeheartedly recommend ValueMatch to any educator or professional seeking to enhance their approach to cognitive complexity developmental understanding and personal growth.

I have been using the ValueMatch questionnaire since 2015 and have been working with Spiral Dynamics since 2012. It is a powerful model that I can use to demonstrate many AHA experiences with my clients. I use the ValueMatch questionnaire and the evaluation in change processes when defining leadership standards, as an assessment for new employees and also for individual and team coaching sessions. It provides a quick overview and helps to delve deep into the different personalities of my clients.
