Why we use MCODE

The name MCODE, is short for ‘motivational code.’ In a world full of assessments, MCODE stands alone. It is a revolutionary assessment tool that identifies our clients' driving purpose and core motivational themes, which some refer to as a person's "soft skills."  However, using that term, down plays how fundamental and deeply rooted these unique capacities are to our very being. Signature Impact Consulting operates from the proposition that each of us has a distinct structure to our personalities; a unique way of being that remains consistent apart from our circumstances and the choices we make.

Our personal stories of deeply satisfying activities hold the key to unveiling, a strong pattern of unique motivational themes. Gaining clarity on one’s central motivational themes is of the utmost importance, helping each of us effectively manage ourselves, helping us predict and target those situations, environments and relationships that provide a good fit. It similarly offers a critical foundation for building healthy and effective organizations that maximize the potential of each staff member. 

Through the MCODE assessment, you will learn

  • Your driving purpose which animates seemingly instinctive actions, reactions, preferences, and decisions.

  • Why you get immersed in some activities, but fail to engage in others.

  • The results you consistently strive to fulfill in your work and relationships.

A validated, cost-effective and user-friendly assessment tool

MCODE is the most user-friendly and cost-effective means for understanding one’s central motivational themes and does so without compromising precision.  It is derived from SIMA® (System for Identifying Motivated Abilities), the gold standard for uncovering motivated behavior and representing over 60 years of empirical research. MCODE draws on SIMA® taxonomy and unveils the main part of the SIMA® Pattern -- the Central Motivational Themes.
