The Problem

Why Most Assessment Programs Fail

Most deliver insight and then stop. The 3E Model treats behavior change as a predictable three-stage process — all three phases, no shortcuts.

Most Approaches

  • Put the report in the participant's lap and walk away
  • Hope they figure it out on their own
  • “Here's your report — draw your own conclusions!”
  • One-off event with no follow-through

Talent Accelerator Method

  • Guide leaders through each stage of the behavior change process
  • Supported by expert coaches, or we train your own facilitators
  • “Let's define one high-leverage goal, your practice plan, and the support to make it stick”
  • Built-in feedback loops that sustain change over 90+ days
The 3E Framework

Three Sequential Phases, No Shortcuts

Phase 1

Enlighten

Purpose: Enhanced awareness and prioritised focus

Without it: Defensiveness, wrong focus, or no focus

“I'm clear on what I need to work on and why”

Phase 2

Encourage

Purpose: Ownership, motivation, public commitment and accountability

Without it: Motivation fades within days

“I left the debrief with one clear goal I'm excited to own”

Phase 3

Enable

Purpose: Sustained focus on behavior change with measurable results

Without it: Old habits win when life gets busy

Sustained, measurable behavior change and enhanced personal effectiveness

Backed by Science, Proven in the Real World

The 3E Model draws from decades of research and thousands of coaching engagements. The result is an evidence-based framework that is simple for leaders to follow, can be readily scaled, and most importantly delivers results.

  • Goal-setting theory
  • Implementation intention research (Gollwitzer)
  • Transtheoretical Model of Change
  • Health psychology and behavioral science
  • 360-degree feedback programs and thousands of coaching engagements

3E Is the Foundation of the Talent Accelerator Method

We encourage every assessment program to use our approach:

  • Enlighten = our assessments and reports
  • Encourage = structured debriefs + Talent Accelerator platform's guided goal and Practice Plan setting process
  • Enable = Talent Accelerator platform's reminders, nudges, pulses and progress tracking

You're getting a complete, evidence-based behavioral change system.
