What is WOW?

A two-part solution for the modern organization

Part 1 — The Platform

From questionnaire to insight in minutes

Employees complete a 47-dimension assessment covering work design, individual traits, context, and well-being. Research-based equations — calibrated separately for on-site, hybrid, and remote workers — produce predicted scores for nine key outcomes.

  • Each employee receives a personalized 10–15 page individual report
  • Leadership receives an organizational dashboard with clear priorities
  • Data-driven recommendations for work design improvements
  • Form-of-work fit analysis for every employee

Part 2 — The Consulting Practice

Turning insight into lasting organizational change

Platform data reveals where the organization needs to grow. Our team of researchers and practitioners delivers 35+ tailored workshops and programs — from half-day sessions to full organizational transformation journeys.

  • 7 domains of modern work covered in our program catalog
  • Available as strategic briefings, co-creation sessions, implementation labs, or full-day action planning
  • Adapted for leaders, HR teams, hybrid and virtual teams
  • Standalone or as post-diagnostic follow-up programs

The Platform

Three steps to organizational clarity

01

Employees complete the assessment

A 47-dimension questionnaire covering work design, individual characteristics, context, and outcomes. Calibrated separately for on-site, hybrid, and remote workers. Takes 15–20 minutes.

02

Science calculates the predictions

Correlation equations derived from peer-reviewed research produce predicted scores for nine key outcomes — motivation, performance, engagement, burnout risk, work-life balance, and more.

03

Everyone receives actionable output

Each employee gets a personalized report. Leadership receives an organizational dashboard with aggregated insights, risk flags, and prioritized recommendations for action.

For employees

A report that recognizes you

Individual, precise, and actionable.

  • Scores across 47 work dimensions
  • Predicted outcomes: motivation, burnout risk, engagement
  • Top strengths and development areas
  • Current vs. preferred form of work analysis
  • Concrete, individualized recommendations
For leadership & HR

Clarity to make better decisions

Aggregated organizational intelligence.

  • Aggregated organizational dashboard
  • Department and team-level breakdowns
  • Highest-risk areas flagged with priority scores
  • Form-of-work fit analysis across the workforce
  • Data-driven input for HR strategy

Individual Reports

Every employee
gets a report
that's theirs alone.

Not a team average. Not a benchmark. A precise, personalized breakdown — with predicted outcomes and concrete next steps. Visual, readable, and genuinely useful.

Why WOW?

What distinguishes us

01

Research, not opinion

Built on peer-reviewed academic research. Our diagnostic equations are derived from studies across thousands of employees — giving you the confidence of evidence behind every recommendation.

02

Individual precision

Most tools produce team or company averages. WOW measures at the level of each individual — generating personalized reports that employees actually recognize as their own reality.

03

Built for the hybrid era

Separate diagnostic models for on-site, hybrid, and remote workers. Because the same job means something entirely different depending on where — and how — it is performed.

04

Insight that drives action

Data without action is noise. Every WOW report includes concrete, prioritized recommendations. Our consulting practice transforms those insights into measurable organizational change.

05

A flywheel, not a one-off

The platform generates engagement data. The data reveals consulting needs. The consulting delivers change. WOW becomes an ongoing strategic partner — not a transactional vendor.

06

Academic credibility, practical delivery

50+ published papers, 25+ consulting engagements, two books on work design and digitalization. We have been where your organization is — and we know the way through.
