Comparison with other models

Will the model you choose provide the outcome you want?

All models have value  – none is right vs wrong, or better vs worse – but in choosing one it is most helpful to ask what is most useful for your organisation or application?  What is the outcome you want? 

If your requirements are for a model that:

• is simple, memorable and easily applied   
• will be used daily and across different types of challenges 
• uses safe, positive, and inclusive language
• enables people to recognise themselves in all components of the model and not be pigeon-holed
• is effective, affordable and engaging for all, then consider – rather than compare, TetraMap. 

Co-founder Jon Brett explains further … 

TetraMap’s strength lies in its simplicity, use of metaphor, ability to engage, and applicability over time and across a range of scenarios or workplace situations. Thinking in metaphors is a naturally creative process, and the holistic nature of TetraMap ensures consideration of multiple perspectives instead of a polarising, strengths-and-weaknesses, black-and-white approach.

Unlike some models, TetraMap stresses that everyone has all four Elements which they are able to access and strengthen for improved communication skills and performance.  TetraMap’s instrument has 10 questions, each with 4 forced-choice answers ranked by preference and answered intuitively – no lengthy questionnaires, or individual reports for analysis.

The learning process is experiential, creative, and discovery-based. Integration of adult learning principles in all TetraMap workshops is a key differentiator.
