To stay relevant and competitive, companies worldwide are taking proactive approaches to making sustainability and safety a fundamental part of their operations.

With over 35 years of experience, JMJ is a leading specialist in this domain. This global consulting and technology firm offers customized solutions that enable organizations in high-risk industries to make transformative shifts in safety, sustainability, and business performance.

JMJ’s Unique Methodology

JMJ takes a data-driven approach to cultural transformation and leadership development, leveraging its proprietary technologies and methodologies. Its diagnostic tools are designed to revolutionize the way organizations cultivate leadership skills and nurture a positive workplace environment.

“We go beyond the usual systems, processes, and behavioral approach to safety and introduce cultural elements, such as shared values and an individual mindset towards their work,” says Mark Britton, COO, Global Consulting, JMJ. “We use advanced tools that combine behavioral insights with data analytics to create self-awareness among leaders and individuals, fostering a safe and productive work setting.”

Navigating Today’s Business Challenges

In a constantly changing work environment, organizations are encountering multiple challenges, including remote work in the post-COVID era, navigating generational shifts, climate change and technological advancements. These challenges bring the need for a caring work culture and sustainability to the forefront. Organizations now strive for inclusive and psychologically safe workplaces, placing greater importance on the well-being and emotional experiences of employees. JMJ’s services are designed to equip leaders to address these challenges head-on.

Introducing Transformation Cloud

Taking its proven approach into the digital realm, JMJ recently launched its analytics platform, Transformation Cloud. The platform hosts a suite of diagnostics, learning, and coaching tools, expertly guided by its consultants. It helps clients design and implement a customized roadmap for sustainable change. Its user-friendly interface tracks organizational growth and progress over time, providing the ability to compare results and make more accurate predictions about future performance.

Understanding Mindsets with Development Quotient (DEV:Q)

The Transformation Cloud analytics platform includes DEV:Q, a developmental tool that reveals the differing perspectives that impact performance and improve self-awareness in people. It provides valuable insights into an individual’s preferred work style and their approach to tasks and challenges. This self-awareness serves as the foundation for personal growth and informed decision-making in job roles. For instance, it can be used to identify whether they tend to lean towards rule-based, systematic thinking or prefer to engage with people and foster a culture of shared values.

DEV:Q has broader applications in leadership development, coaching, and talent management. HR professionals and senior leaders can utilize the insights to address potential challenges arising from different working styles and form high-performing teams by strategically placing individuals in roles that align with their preferences.

It also helps in collecting data about cultural dynamics. It easily collates data results from employees across multiple locations, providing comprehensive datasets. This information is further supplemented with a series of subjective one-on-one or small group interviews for leaders to gain access to the inner dialogue or narrative at all levels within the organization.

Its customized leadership development program is designed to empower leaders at all levels of the organization.
