It is an old wisdom that succesfull individuals do not necessarily make perfect teams. Rather you will find that the best performing teams consist of a divers group of people. In other words: the whole is more valuable than the sum of its parts. Besides skills and knowledge, important success factors for high-performance teams are cognitive and strategic diversity. The AEM-Cube® is an assessment tool that visualizes individuals’ natural contribution to growth and maps the cognitive and strategic diversity in a team or organization.
In collaboration with Nyenrode Business Universiteit we offer a three-day certification program for the AEM-Cube® assessment. The AEM-Cube® Certification Training will provide you all the skills and knowledge to put the AEM-Cube® into practice.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing the AEM-Cube Certification Training, you will:
…be accredited to use the AEM-Cube® in practice
…have a thorough understanding of the theories and concepts underpinning the AEM-Cube®
…understand the role of cognitive and strategic diversity in team performance
…know how to implement the insights of the AEM-Cube® in a team or organization

Practice makes perfect
This program offers a unique practice-led approach, combining academic lectures with business cases. The lectures will cover ongoing research in the fields of organisation ecology, ethology, psychology and cybernetics. In addition, the program offers ample room for interactive sessions, personal coaching, group discussions and real-life business cases. In sum, the program is a perfectly-struck balance between in-depth scientific research, practical examples and action-based learning.
All students will receive access to the Human Insight Academy, an online platform containing video modules, additional reading, supporting materials and exams about the AEM-Cube®.
Requirements
- The program consists of three days: two days of lectures and interactive sessions and a third day with individual examinations.
- To complete the certification, you are required to conduct a pilot project. As part of the examinations on the third day you will have submitted a written report of your pilot and present it to the panel.
- All program participants are required to complete their own AEM-Cube® questionnaire before the program commences.
With your consent, your AEM-Cube® results will be used and discussed as part of the program.
- The time investment for the program’s preparatory work, including the modules on the Human Insight Academy and pilot project, will amount to approximately 40 hours.
- Due to the exclusive nature of this program, a personal intake precedes participation in the program.
