John talks about The GC Index and how organisations and recruiters can use it to identify Game Changers.

The GC Index has been designed to help organisations identify what people can bring to a business rather than putting undue emphasis on personality.

John explains how Game changers differ from ‘high potentials’ and individuals traditionally judged as leadership material. He says, “In my role as profiler of individuals I often find I am putting words to people’s intuition…I have a way of turning that intuition into data – and that seems to give people comfort.”

eg.1, business insight and talent consultancy, today announced that it is opening its first corporate office in North America, located in New York City. eg.1’s work in the US will be led by Victoria Gumbley, VP of North America, who has relocated to New York.

The new office will bolster eg.1’s presence in North America as it continues to invest, expand and help organisations across the globe to change the game, with the launch of The GC Index.

Nathan Ott, CEO of eg.1 and The GC Index says, “We have opened this new office to support our continued growth in the US. Around 20 per cent of our global business is in the US.

“The opening of the New York office is an important extension of our network to better support our existing client base as so many of our clients have operations in North America. Our expanded team and new office will enable us to accelerate the use of The GC Index, provide improved business intelligence and executive search, local on-the-ground support, and the ability to cater better for local needs.”

Victoria Gumbley, VP of North America at eg.1, has produced some fantastic results for clients and, more recently, has trained as a GCologist working with senior leaders, using The GC Index, to create game-changing teams.

She joined eg.1 as a Research Associate. She progressed quickly to Engagement Manager and is now VP, North America, and a GCologist. She focuses on a broad range of sectors and enjoys working across different corporate and cultural settings to help shape the future of both individuals and organisations.

Victoria says, “I’m incredibly excited about this wonderful opportunity. Over the last few years, our work in the US has gone from strength to strength and I am very much looking forward to taking the business to the next level, with the continued focus on our market-leading executive search and business insight work and, of course, the launch of The GC Index.”

The GC index enables organisations to identify their Game Changers at all levels, allowing these individuals to thrive and deliver outstanding results.

Differing from traditional assessments, The GC Index has been developed in response to a demand from leaders and HR professionals to help them identify this untapped pool of talent, people with that ‘special something’, who have the ability to ‘re-write the things we do’. Research published by eg.1, The DNA of a Game Changer, shows that almost three quarters (72%) of leaders say less than 11% of their employees are Game Changers. At the same time this talent pool is often stifled or neglected.

John Mervyn-Smith, Chief Psychologist at eg.1, “For the last three decades talent development has focused largely upon identifying those individuals who have the potential to make hierarchical progress. By definition this approach has been elitist and exclusive, which leaves organisations and individuals missing out. The GC Index defines talent as the contribution that an individual can make to a team and organisation, regardless of hierarchical position. It is inclusive regardless of demographic. Moreover, while it focuses upon an individual’s inclinations and strengths it provides practical insights into development.”

This view is echoed by Adrian Furnham, Management Expert and Professor of Psychology, who suggests that The GC Index has the ability to reshape talent management as we know it. He says: “I’m excited to be working with eg.1 on The GC Index. The discovery of Game Changer’s unique obsessive imagination allows us to delve more deeply into the ‘natural’ character of Game Changers and assess how other factors have an impact on the contribution they make. The GC Index will enable board members, CEOs, HR professionals, investors and line managers to easily assess the composition of their workforce and ensure they apply individuals to the right roles based on real and potential contribution.”

Nathan Ott, CEO of eg.1, business insight and talent consultancy says, “Our study has shown that Game Changers exist in the corporate world but they are being neglected, not always fulfilling their potential because they do not readily conform to traditional definitions of talent.

“It doesn’t matter whether the individual is a successful CEO or just about to finish school, if they are a Game Changer they are a Game Changer, regardless of gender, shape, colour or any one of the many boxes that exist today. The GC Index allows leaders to easily identify Game Changers in the far corners of their organisations, ensuring they are in the right culture and have the right mix of people around them. Doing this will allow these special individuals to fulfill their game-changing potential. “
