Motivational Fit Diagnostic as self-assessment. Only 5 minutes.
Quick heads up for everyone here in the community. Over the last weeks, we have been quietly building something that many of our customers have been asking for in different forms. A simple way to look at a learning setup, an HR process, or an internal initiative and answer one uncomfortable question: Is the system actually motivating the kind of behavior it expects? Most instructional designs say they want curiosity, transfer, problem-solving, ownership, and most HR systems still reward completion, speed, attendance, or clean spreadsheets. That gap is not a motivation problem. It is a design mismatch. We just released a short Motivational Fit Diagnostic that helps make this visible. It is not a learner-type quiz or an engagement score. It is a behavioral design diagnostic that looks at the structure around people and the type of motivation it quietly produces. Why am I sharing this here? First, this assessment is very new. Which means it is not finished. And that is intentional. If you are working in instructional design, L&D, or HR, you are exactly the people who can stress test it with real contexts. Learning programs, onboarding journeys, mandatory trainings, leadership tracks, or change initiatives. In about five minutes, you get a first map of: What kind of motivation does your setup currently trigger? Whether that motivation fits the behavior you actually need? Where engagement leaks are structural, not personal? Think of it as a diagnostic before redesign. Before adding nudges. Before adding rewards. Before adding more content. If you try it and something feels off, that feedback matters. If it clicks immediately, that matters too. This is one of those tools that will only get sharper by being used on real cases, not hypothetical ones. If you are curious how behavioral design applies to your learning or HR context, jump in. Early users are part of shaping where this goes next. As always, the goal is not to motivate people harder. It is to design systems that make the right behavior easier to sustain.

@Roman Rackwitz it feels like it’s targeting a traditional larger organization, but it does give clarity about the fact that I don’t have (data backed) insight into the motivational state of my organization, the roles and the team members as individual. I would be interested in getting more clarity if it’s not too complex. At this point I’m relying on my own experience and expertise. I use this, for example, to select the way we develop our product; we use the Shape Up method to give people with different roles more autonomy. We also aim to give space for personal mastery. And what we are working on has a purpose bigger than just generating revenue. Still curious what you’re working on

Hello everybody, Niels here, living in Mersin, originally from the Netherlands. Roman and I go way back and met in Istanbul where we were both speakers at a gamification event. I’m a co-founder of a Saas platform focused on the circular economy, but also very much engaged with learning, growth, and development of individuals and teams. Motivational design is at the core of this.
