Transforming Communities One Rockstar At A Time
In synergy, through a holistic and restorative approach, in 2023 Project NOVI has been incubated so that in 2024 a series of innovative digital assessment tools can be piloted to identify and empower our participants’ strengths, capacity and pathways to realising their goals and greater autonomy.
Focus has been on introductory communications and initial assessment including onboarding into a custom operating system, consent, Adaptive Multifaceted Personality Screener (AMPS), Needs Motivation Assessment (NM), Purpose and Potential Explorer (PPE), One Page Participant Report (OPR), Conversation for Understanding and Next Steps planning.
These steps and tools have been developed to uncover nuanced personality traits, individual capacities, and priority areas for development.
When combined with visioning around their Nova Diem (new day) journey through provocations in the Synergistic Assessment (capacity, willingness and desires), it is expected that an impactful empowerment and self-determination experience will be ignited.
Foundation Nova Diem exists to unlock potential and break down barriers to a more equitable and inclusive world. A non-profit organisation, we’re driven by a deep sense of compassion and commitment to social justice, focused on identifying and empowering capacity for a brighter future.
Currently, in start-up, we’re building Project NOVI – an evidence-based tech-enabled, innovative online experience to identify and unlock unrealised potential in the face of disadvantage, empowering pathways towards autonomy.
Empowering
Project NOVI aims to empower participants by identifying their strengths, capacities, and potential. This includes fostering confidence and autonomy, enabling participants to take control of their lives and realise their goals.
Inclusive
The project leverages innovative digital assessment tools to provide comprehensive and personalised insights into participants' traits, capabilities, and needs. These tools are designed to uncover a wide range of attributes across various dimensions, ensuring a thorough understanding of each participant.
Transformative
Through a combination of advanced assessments, personalised development, and collaborative planning, Project NOVI provides participants with the necessary resources and guidance to navigate their unique challenges and opportunities. This support is aimed at fostering self-agency, leadership, and multigenerational change within families and communities.
