Driving Forces Certification Program
Our clients consistently say they walked away from our Driving Forces Certification Program with more than they ever expected. They receive in-depth knowledge, world-class assessments, and detailed facilitation resources to confidently deliver impactful sessions on their own.
Driving Forces is based on Eduard Spranger’s original work and focuses on the WHY behind an individual’s actions, showcasing what motivates their behavior. It assesses 6 key factors; Knowledge, Power, Surroundings, Others, Utility, and Methodologies. Not only will it bring insight to the Leaders, it will also help them improve employee engagement, decision making and build more effective teams.
“Virtual certification? I had my doubts and concerns. Lisa and the DataDome team pulled off the same magic you experience in-person: amazing prep, materials, delivery, engagement and ongoing support. DataDome continues to raise the bar!”

Certification Overview
Two day virtual Driving Forces Certification Program
This program is designed to equip trainers with an in-depth understanding of Driving Forces. We train in so much more than just the 12 Driving Forces characteristics. We educate you in the primary, situational, indifferent clusters, energizers and stressors, and extreme behaviors.
We provide you with all the resources that you need to facilitate sessions: Power Point presentations, facilitator notes, participant materials and exercise worksheets along with the rights to customize and reproduce the materials to suit your needs (the facilitator kit alone is a $900+ value). Strategies and models to successfully implement Driving Forces in your organization or training practice will be discussed. You will have access to the Driving Forces and Talent Insights online assessments through Data Dome.
Classes are kept small to encourage and allow for personal interaction, sharing of relevant examples, and discussing customized applications. You receive time with the instructor in preparation for and after your exam to review and gain additional knowledge and discuss implementation strategies.
The training is insightful, engaging, and fun. Participants consistently say they walk away with more than they ever expected from the program.

Process
Personal Call with the Instructor
The most important thing to Data Dome is that you leave the session having received more than you ever anticipated. We set up a one-on-one call with the instructor to understand how you will be implementing Driving Forces and your greatest needs so we can ensure they are covered in the five days. We review the process, discuss the pre-work, and make sure all your questions have been answered.
Session Pre-Work
Participants are asked to complete pre-work for the session. The objective is for each person to come to the session having a basic background and understanding of Driving Forces. This will allow the class to start with the same knowledge base and keep discussions moving at a consistent pace.
Includes completing a Driving Forces Assessment, reviewing the Reference Manual and a 12 module online study course with videos and quizzes.
Agenda
The course starts with introductions, allowing participants to best understand their classmates and form connections that often go beyond the class. Advanced facilitation resource materials will be reviewed as well as the materials and agenda for the program. A “mini” Driving Forces workshop will be demonstrated utilizing the materials the participants will receive. This allows participants to see the program delivered and gives the class an extended base of knowledge. Throughout the five days, the study guide and the reference manual will be used to educate the class in advanced Driving Forces knowledge.
