Our Genesis
Guidewire Systems, Inc. was formed in 2001 to help individuals and organizations grow, develop and perform at a high level. Recognizing that most individuals draw upon less than ten percent of their human potential and that too many employees are unhappy with or underperforming in their current positions, we assembled a brain trust to find solutions that uncover, activate and focus untapped human potential as a creative means of improving workplace performance, productivity and job satisfaction.
 
Not surprisingly we found that the keys to professional development, performance improvement and career advancement can be found in the individual. Being human, employees want to feel cared about and are constantly looking for signals that employers are as interested in their needs as they are concerned about bottom line performance. Fortunately, the two go hand in hand.
 
MyGuidewire is Different
Where many conventional training and development programs are static, sporadic and disjointed, MyGuidewire is dynamic, continuous and progressive. Through the use of an online suite of interactive tools coupled with a companion coaching/mentoring platform, MyGuidewire provides a time - distance and cost efficient alternative to high priced stand alone training programs or outplacement services. Equally as important, MyGuidewire provides employers a high impact, low cost opportunity to let employees know they care about both organizational and individual success by providing all levels of the organization the support necessary to mobilize and apply their true human potential.
 
Personal Strengths Building is the Secret to Creating a High Performance Workplace Culture
Paradoxically an individual is exposed to more than 14,000 classroom hours concentrated on subject matter during the course of their formal education with little if any structured time devoted to self-learning, strengths building, strategic personal planning, performance management or soft-skills learning. This imbalance is often perpetuated in corporate training and development programs.
 
While conventional education, training and development are designed to support high levels of functional competency, they often overlook the critical role of self-knowledge ("First Know Thyself") and emotional intelligence in achieving organizational goals. MyGuidewire is designed to provide individuals with an organized methodology of learning about their predominant personality characteristics and how those personality characteristics can be transformed into satisfying productive strengths for the creation of high performance workplace cultures.
 
Our Vision
To help organizations unlock, channel and realize the true productive potential of their human resources. To cost - time and distance efficiently deliver the tools, resources and professional assistance necessary to more deeply engage employees in their occupations and to directly align individual goals with organizational objectives as an effective means of improving workplace productivity, organizational morale and employer goodwill. And if conditions necessitate outplacement, to empower those in transition to uncover their strengths and natural abilities and the occupational opportunities which fit them best.
 
Our Goal
To become a leading provider of professional development - performance improvement and career transition services to organizations by helping individuals discover and mobilize their productive strengths.
