OpenEQ is a digital platform that helps individuals and organisations measure, develop and strengthen emotional intelligence. Built on the Emotional Capital framework developed by Dr Martyn Newman & Judy Purse, OpenEQ translates over two decades of research and leadership development into practical tools that help people improve how they manage themselves, work with others and perform under pressure.

OpenEQ is designed for both individuals and organisations. Individuals use OpenEQ to better understand their emotional intelligence and develop the capabilities that support leadership, career growth and personal wellbeing. Organisations use OpenEQ to scale emotional intelligence across teams, strengthening workforce capability, collaboration and workplace culture.

OpenEQ provides insight into how you respond to challenges, interact with others and influence those around you. By developing emotional intelligence skills such as self-awareness, confidence, empathy and resilience, individuals can improve their effectiveness at work, strengthen relationships and navigate complex situations more successfully.

For organisations, OpenEQ provides a scalable way to measure and develop the behaviours that shape culture and performance. By strengthening emotional intelligence across teams, organisations can improve leadership capability, collaboration, employee engagement and resilience during periods of change.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the practical foundation of effective leadership behaviour – clarity under pressure, empathy in conversation, self-control in conflict, and adaptability through change or resilience. These behaviours determine whether transformation sticks, teams perform, and managers retain talent. The concept of the 'Behavioural Operating System (BOS)' is a unique and simple way to visualise a repeatable way to build those EQ behaviours at scale: Assess → Coach → Embed → Report.

OpenEQ focuses on the emotional intelligence competencies that research shows drive human performance, including:

• Self-Knowing
• Self-Confidence
• Self-Reliance
• Self Actualization
• Straightforwardness
• Relationship Skills
• Empathy
• Self-Control
• Adaptability
• Optimism

These capabilities help people perform effectively in complex and changing environments.

OpenEQ uses RocheMartin's scientifically validated Emotional Capital Report (ECR) assessment. This assessment provides individuals with insight into their emotional intelligence strengths and development areas. For organisations, aggregated insights can help identify patterns that influence leadership effectiveness and organisational culture.

As technology and AI reshape the way work is performed, human capabilities such as emotional and social skills become increasingly important. Skills such as empathy, resilience, collaboration and adaptability enable people and organisations to navigate complexity, build strong relationships and maintain performance in times of change.

Individuals will gain immediate insights into how their behaviour affects others and begin applying new strategies straight away.

Individuals can begin by completing an emotional intelligence assessment through the platform and accessing personalised development guidance. Organisations can explore how OpenEQ can support leadership and culture development by booking an OpenEQ briefing with the RocheMartin team.
