The Political Savvy Profile (PSP) ® is designed to help people develop positive Political Practitioner skills so they can create for themselves - and other stakeholders - happier and healthier political work cultures and careers.


The PSP ® workbook enables Individuals (in Self-Study or Coaching contexts) and Groups (in Workshop, Team-building or Conference contexts) to learn how to resolve their real life political work problems using a 6 Step Political Practitioner skills building process that's explained in The PSP ® workbook

     Step 1 : REVEAL - their Political Perceptions
     Step 2 : REGARD - the Political Savvy Framework ©
     Step 3 : RECORD - their Political Savvy Profile ® Scores
     Step 4 : READ - their Political Savvy Profile ®
     Step 5 : REVIEW - the ‘ SMART ’ Political Skill Areas
     Step 6 : WRITE - a Political Savvy Action Plan

The PSP ® also provides clarity on the five 'SMART' skill areas that are considered critical when developing positive political influencing skills in Hierarchic (Pyramidal), Heterarchic (Matrixed) and Holarchic (Cellular) operating structures, cultures and roles, namely

    Stakeholdering - The ability to prioritise & manage diverse stakeholder needs & success measures
    Morality - The ability to build trusting key stakeholder relationships across the political landscape
    Alignment - The ability to align your own Goals, Ambitions & Values with those of an Organization
    Rapport-building - The ability to authentically engage, inspire and work with different stakeholders
    Tactical-nous - The ability to access information & take difficult decisions to achieve agreed outcomes 

The Political Savvy Profile ® can be used as an independent resource to gain awareness about your own political influencing preferences - or as a tool to help raise that awareness in others.

The PSP ® and its Questionnaire are available in both Digital and Paper based formats.

The Questionnaire for the Digital version of the PSP ® workbook is completed online and a bespoke PSP ® in a .pdf format is created and emailed either to the Purchaser of a PSP ® from us - or to the Facilitator (i.e. the Trainer, Coach, Consultant, Manager or Mentor) who sent the link to the Questionnaire because they are taking part in an Individual or Group based learning event. 

The PSP ® Facilitator Guidebook, together with its accompanying PowerPoint presentation, contains all the information a Facilitator needs to successfully deliver the unique ½ day Political Savvy Workshop - using the PSP ® workbook in either a Digital or Paper-based format.
