The I.D. System™ : an improved way to enhance team performance in the workplace

![CDATA[Following from research presented at the 2005 Australian Business and Behavioural Sciences Association Annual Conference, this paper presents contemporary developments in the I.D. system™ (Instinctive Drive). The system offers a unique approach to improving team performance, particularly in the workplace. Initial research efforts sought to validate the I.D. system™; however, the experience of its developers and its users suggested that refinements were necessary. More specifically, various items within the scale have been reworded; however, the scoring system remains unchanged. Despite these refinements, this paper demonstrates that the I.D. system™ continues to be a reliable and valid assessment tool for gauging individual instinctive drives™. This finding has important implications for business and behavioural sciences; it indicates that, despite the controversy that surrounds research into human instinct, it is possible to understand instinctive drives™, enhance the interplay of these drives within workplace teams, and subsequently, improve team performance.]]
