AlignmentKey — where individual potential meets team performance

AlignmentKey is a certified BG5 consulting practice that has done something genuinely distinctive: they've integrated Human Design for Business with RIASEC vocational profiling and Big Five personality research into a unified methodology for career development and team performance.

Where WA Analytics focuses on the organizational macro — how the collective structure of your whole company is functioning — AlignmentKey specializes in the individual and team micro: how each person is wired, what they're built for, and how to place them for maximum contribution and wellbeing.

Together, we cover the full spectrum. When both an individual analysis and an organizational analysis point to the same tension, you're not guessing. You're seeing clearly.

How It Works in Practice
01
Organizational assessment

WA Analytics maps the full energetic and structural picture of your organization — how the collective functions as a whole, where the organizing authority sits, what the natural hierarchy actually is, and where the structural friction is coming from.

02
Individual & team profiling

AlignmentKey profiles the individuals and sub-teams within your organization — mapping each person's natural drives, work style, and role fit using BG5, RIASEC, and Big Five frameworks. The individual picture meets the organizational picture.

03
Integrated recommendations

Where both analyses converge — same tension, same gap, same natural authority identified independently — those are the high-confidence findings. We present them together and build a roadmap from that solid ground, not from either framework alone.

Both practices
Analytical Frameworks

The right tools, applied with integrity

Every framework we use has been applied to real organizational situations. What matters isn't the credential on the wall — it's whether the analysis actually helps. That said, we're honest about where our own training ends and where we rely on specialist affiliates.

On workability over credentials: Certifications tell you someone completed a course. What we're actually building is a track record of analysis that produces insight and outcomes. That's the only measure that matters to us — and, we'd wager, to you.
