Everything about how the BI Method works, what the assessment measures, and what happens with your data.
A recurring, observable behaviour, or cluster of behaviours, that consistently undermines team performance, leadership effectiveness, or organisational health. The word "anti-pattern" comes from software engineering, where it described solutions that appear to address problems but reliably make them worse. The BI Method applies this concept to organisational behaviour: patterns that feel rational at the individual level but produce collectively destructive outcomes at the team or system level.
Each named anti-pattern has a corresponding antidote, a specific behavioural target that describes what the pattern looks like when it's been addressed. An antidote is not a generic intervention ("improve communication") but a concrete behavioural description tied to the specific pattern. The goal of the antidote is to make the target state as concrete as the current state.
Yes, and this is one of the most important things the BI Method surfaces. The same pattern, say, unclear goal-setting, may appear as a team-level symptom (the team doesn't know what it's working toward) while its cause sits at leadership level (a leader who consistently avoids committing to specific targets) and its amplifier at system level (an incentive structure that rewards activity over outcomes). Treating only the team-level symptom without diagnosing the cause is one of the most common failure modes in organisational development.
The assessment is a structured 360-style questionnaire. Each participant answers questions about the behaviour they have observed in the team. Results are aggregated anonymously, you see patterns at the group level, not attributed to individuals.
Everyone in the defined scope, team members, peers, managers, and direct reports. The multi-source design is intentional. It is anonymous by design to create psychological safety.
The standard assessment takes approximately 10–12 minutes to complete. It's designed intentionally digestible and easy to complete.
Results are only shown at aggregate level, above team-size thresholds that prevent reverse identification. Individual responses are never surfaced. Managers or team leads see the aggregated pattern scores, not who selected or scored what.
Yes. Individual responses are never stored in a way that links them to a named person in any output visible to others in the organisation. The system is designed so that even the team lead or HR cannot identify individual responses.
Data is stored on infrastructure within the EU, in compliance with GDPR. The BI Method B.V. is a Netherlands-registered entity operating under EU data protection law.
No. Assessment data is not used for marketing, not sold to third parties, and not used to train AI models. Data belongs to the organisation that commissions the assessment.
The platform operates under GDPR regardless of where your organisation is based. If you have specific data residency requirements, raise them when you reach out — we handle enterprise data arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
The free risk scan is a short (8–10 minute) version of the assessment. It produces a summary report identifying which domains carry the most potential risk for your team.
Pricing depends on the size of the team or organisation being assessed and the level of support required. We don't publish a fixed price list because enterprise assessments vary significantly. Contact us and we'll give you a clear number within 24 hours.
From kickoff to receiving your first report as soon as you and your team. Enterprise rollouts across multiple teams or departments are scoped on a case-by-case basis — the reports are immediate.
Both are possible. The platform is designed to be self-service for teams with a clear internal owner. For organisations running their first assessment or wanting to work through the results with external facilitation, we can connect you with accredited practitioners.
The framework and methodology have been submitted as a working paper to SSRN. It has not yet completed formal peer review. We are transparent about this distinction — the outcome claims in the paper are grounded in established peer-reviewed research, but the direct efficacy of the BI Method platform has not yet been independently validated through study. That validation is a stated research priority. We warmly welcome academic partnerships to join us in the research.
