The methodology is synthesised based on latests neuroscience, cognitive behavioral psychology and linguistic principles into gamified mechanisms that accelerate a group to accelerate their norming.
WeQu was the early beginning of WeQ. It was a personal profile card game more focused on personal development. But founder Ohyoon Kwon soon realized it was primarily being used by business managers to help teams “bond” faster. So the game evolved into a complete system, with cards, an app, and a certified facilitator.
A new team who’ve worked together at least 4 to 6 weeks has a more ideal state to apply WeQ. They have some basic knowledge about each other’s personalities, working habits, and character skills and they begin forming social norms.
If a team is just created, they may not feel comfortable enough - or have enough data - to offer constructive feedback. And if a team is too old, they may have already formed norms and habits that are difficult to change.
WeQ is quite different from these tools. Personality assessments are focused on helping individuals become more aware of themselves. They are not designed to enhance collective intelligence. WeQ is a customized interactive group experience, with mechanisms to help the team as a whole, which involves shaping social norms and group dynamics.
Currently, the system can only be used only when all participants are present. We’re aware of the increasing need for remote teambuilding, and we are currently researching custom solutions that may address this problem.
It is highly recommended to have followup WeQ sessions every 4 - 6 months, to preserve the benefits of the session and leverage the momentum created by the previous session. Followwup sessions can be less time, and ideally can be scheduled to align within the team’s normal operation cycle.
