Email info@beacon-star.com to express interest. We'll send you a spreadsheet where you can request either bulk assessment links or named links tied to specific people (you provide names and email addresses). Use the same spreadsheet to tell us whether you want the Workstyle Profile, the Leadership Bundle, or a mix. We'll send a single invoice, and once paid, set up the assessment links. Most schools place one order per cohort, but you can split the order across multiple groups if you want separate invoices for each faculty or year level. We're happy to jump on a short call first if you'd like to talk through the fit before committing.

Both. Individuals often start with the Workstyle Profile for personal insight, and teams run it together so they can compare styles and talk about the differences. The Leadership Bundle works the same way for individual leaders or for a whole leadership cohort. Running it across a team is where the conversation really opens up, because the value sits in seeing how different styles line up side by side and what that means for the way the team operates day to day.

Yes. The minimum order is five assessments at a time, which keeps the process efficient on both sides. If you're a smaller school or a single leader wanting a one-off profile, get in touch anyway and we'll see what we can do, or let you know when we next have a shared cohort you could join.

Assessment links are sent within two business days of payment. Follow-up resources are sent at the same time, so your team has everything they need to complete the assessment, read their report, and start applying the insights straight away. For whole-of-school rollouts we usually agree a launch window with you so all links go out together.

A personalised PDF report. The Workstyle Profile shows where you sit on each of the five dimensions (Power, Risk, Identity, Speed, Messaging) with plain-language insights on what each score means for the way you work. The Leadership Bundle adds your dominant archetype, with tailored guidance on leading across difference, including specific practices to lean on and blind spots to watch for. Both reports are written for the person taking the assessment, not for an HR file, so you can read yours straight through and act on it.

Power (how you relate to authority), Risk (how quickly you move with incomplete information), Identity (whether you work best individually or in a group), Speed (how fast you process and decide), and Messaging (how direct or nuanced your communication is). Each dimension is behavioural, not a personality trait, which means your position reflects what you do in a team context rather than a fixed label about who you are. That distinction matters, because behaviours can be flexed once you can see them clearly.

Your archetype (Trailblazer, Architect, Coach, Guardian, Director, or Navigator) is calculated from your workstyle results using the Global TeamLEAD™ framework. It reflects how your combination of values shows up when you lead, not a label you pick. The archetype is a shorthand for your natural leadership patterns, and your report shows how you can flex towards the other archetypes when the situation calls for a different approach.

About 10 minutes online. That may sound short, but the timing has been validated to give accurate results, and the questions are designed so honest first-response answers are more accurate than overthinking. You can take it on a laptop, tablet, or phone, in one sitting or across a couple of short sessions, and your progress saves if you need to come back later.

Results don't expire. Most people retake PRISM every two to three years, or when they move into a new role, country, or team, because behaviours shift with context and experience. Comparing an earlier report with a new one can also be a useful reflection exercise, especially after a significant role change or a period of leadership growth.

PRISM was developed through Boston University by a research team led by David Livermore, PhD. It sits inside the Global TeamLEAD™ ecosystem, which licenses PRISM exclusively through certified Master Practitioners. David is the founder of the Cultural Intelligence Center and has spent more than two decades researching how leaders work effectively across cultural and contextual differences. You can read more about PRISM directly from the research team at davidlivermore.com/prism.

PRISM draws on decades of research into cultural intelligence (CQ), global leadership, and workplace behaviour. It's validated against real workplace samples, not national stereotypes, and it measures observable behaviours rather than self-reported identity. That validation process is what makes PRISM different from tools built on self-reported personality: your results describe how you actually behave in teams, which is what colleagues and students experience day to day.

Those tools describe personality or strengths in the abstract. PRISM is about behaviour in teams, built specifically for places where people work across cultures, roles, and styles. It's designed to surface practical differences that show up in collaboration, not to type you. If you've used one of those tools before, PRISM sits alongside them rather than replacing them, and it's the one you reach for when you need to work out how a specific team is actually functioning together.

Cultural intelligence (CQ) describes a leader's capability to work effectively across differences. PRISM makes that capability practical, giving you a concrete way to apply CQ to decision-making, communication, implementation, and rapport on a team. CQ is the foundation, PRISM is how you put it to work, and the two sit neatly together in any programme where you want to build both awareness and measurable behaviour change.

Yes, for senior student leaders (year 10 and above is a common starting point). The language is easy to follow, and students can apply it to real situations where they're working in a team, such as student councils, house leadership, service projects, or co-curricular groups. Schools often use PRISM as part of an induction programme for incoming student leaders, so the cohort starts the year with a shared language for how they'll work together.

Yes. Heads of school, executive teams, and faculty groups are a strong fit for the Leadership Bundle, because the archetype mapping gives direct guidance on how to lead across difference inside an organisation. For executive teams it's especially useful when a new member joins or when the group is working through a strategic decision where different styles are pulling in different directions.

The Workstyle Profile is AUD $89 per person and the Leadership Bundle is AUD $169 per person. For groups of 20 or more, or whole-of-school rollouts, email info@beacon-star.com for scoped pricing. Pricing is transparent, invoiced once, and there are no ongoing subscription fees.

Yes. We're based on the Gold Coast, Australia, and deliver to schools and organisations globally over video, with in-person work available in Australia and on request elsewhere. The assessment itself runs online in any time zone, so there's no scheduling constraint for the report part of the work.

Resources are available after the assessment to help you make sense of your results and plan your next steps. These include a short guide for each dimension and archetype, suggested reflection questions, and practical team exercises you can run in your own time. If you'd like to talk through how to apply the insights with your team, email us and we'll see how we can help.
