About

What is PRISM?

PRISM is a research-based team assessment that measures cross-cultural workstyle differences to help leaders and teams improve performance. Your PRISM profile shows how you approach the five dimensions: power, risk, identity, speed, messaging.

PRISM doesn't label you. It places you on a continuum across each dimension, giving you the language to bridge workstyle differences instead of getting stuck in them.

PRISM is one part of Global TeamLEAD, David Livermore, PhD's broader framework for working and leading across cultures. Other layers (communication, leadership, contribution) are available separately. This course focuses on PRISM.

The five dimensions

What you will explore.

Power, Risk, Identity, Speed, Messaging. Five continuums that surface the cross-cultural patterns in how you work.

P

Power

Flat  ·  Top-down

How you relate to authority and shared decision-making. Whether you treat hierarchy as a given or something to flatten.

R

Risk

Tolerant  ·  Averse

How comfortable you are acting before every detail is settled. Your appetite for ambiguity and learning by doing.

I

Identity

Self-oriented  ·  Group-oriented

Where you find your footing. In your own work and judgement, or in the success and connection of the team.

S

Speed

Faster  ·  Slower

How quickly you commit and how patient you are with the slower work of consensus, planning, and reflection.

M

Messaging

Direct  ·  Indirect

How directly you say what you actually think, and how much of the meaning you leave to context.
