FAQs

1. How does C-me’s approach to behavioral assessment differ from Insights Discovery?

C-me uses a dynamic colour wheel and focuses on current behaviours rather than fixed personality types. This allows for more actionable insights because behaviour can change and adapt, personality types rarely change over our lifetime. C-me therefore offers practical applications that can be actioned from the moment users receive their report, compared to Insights Discovery's static, text-heavy reports on personality types.

2. What are the key benefits of C-me's continuous development approach?

C-me’s continual development approach ensures that personal and professional growth is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. By providing dynamic behavioural insights, C-me helps individuals continuously refine their self-awareness, communication, and collaboration skills. As people and teams evolve, C-me’s tools support them in adapting to new challenges, improving interactions, and strengthening relationships over time. This ongoing development fosters a culture of learning and adaptability, helping individuals and teams perform at their best.

For organisations, C-me’s continual development approach means leadership and team dynamics can be regularly assessed and optimised. By offering ongoing insights into behavioural strengths and potential blind spots, C-me enables businesses to nurture talent, enhance engagement, and build resilience. With a focus on continuous learning, organisations can create an environment where individuals thrive, teams work more effectively, and long-term success is sustained.

3. How does C-me's accreditation process compare to Insights Discovery?

The C-me accreditation takes place online and over two half-days, immediately following one another.

Insights offers both in-person and virtual accreditations. Their virtual accreditation takes place over four days with three, eight hour days and one, six hour day. 

We both require a small amount of pre-reading and post course practice conversations and an on-boarding call.

4. What makes C-me’s technology and reporting stand out?

What makes C-me's technology stand out?

C-me streamlines team-building by providing instant access to behavioural insights through our platform. Users can view, edit, and share their profile across the organisation, access team wheels they are a part of, to understand collective strengths, and explore their 360 reports.

The platform eliminates the need for circulating PDFs. Instead, offering managers and L&D leaders a central hub for personal development, team formation, change management, and strategic planning.

L&D leaders can also manage and track follow-up for all C-me workshops within the platform, keeping all related information in one place.

Additionally, the C-me Outlook add-in seamlessly integrates behavioural insights into daily communication, enhancing collaboration, reducing misunderstandings, and improving conflict resolution.

What makes C-me's reporting stand out?

C-me is unusual in being tested from the outset with representative individuals testing in the context of real team application, rather than test groups who would have self-selected and tested in abstract situations. 

We are constantly assessing face validity to ensure the reports get the high percentage resonance we aim for. Ratings are typically over 85%, which is high for the industry. We offer our users the added flexibility to review and adjust the remaining 15%. This ensures that the final profile truly reflects the individual's unique characteristics.

 

5. Can I customise feedback with C-me?

On the C-me platform, users are able to review their statements following the completion of the C-me questionnaire. Our profiles boast a high accuracy rate of 85%+. We also offer uses the added flexibility to review and adjust the remaining 15%. This ensures that the final profile truly reflects the individual's unique characteristics. Users appreciate that C-me does not restrict them to tight categories but, instead, reflects the nuances of their motivations and behaviour.

Also, users can add notes in every section of their report, enabling them to capture learning and track their development as they progress in their role.

Our 360 Feedback tool offers you the option to input your own questions so that the feedback provided targets exactly the circumstances you are looking to review and track. 

 

 

6. Can I integrate C-me in to our own training material?

C-me is designed for flexibility and easy integration into your training materials. You can customise the C-me questionnaire, platform, 360 assessments, and all related communications with your own branding. Additionally, our workshop slides are available for you to use, allowing you to seamlessly embed C-me into your training programmes and establish a consistent, shared language across your organisation.
