MPA was developed by English management consultant Warren Lamb (1923 - ).  The approach draws upon ground-breaking studies of movement patterns in relation to job performance conducted in British industry during the 1940s and 1950s by movement theorist Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) and management consultant F.C. Lawrence (1895-1982).

Since being refined in the early 1960s by Mr. Lamb, MPA profiles have been used by over 30,000 people, primarily those involved in senior management, to enhance individual career development, to form a functional working team, and to facilitate a more effective process of collaborative decision making.

Movement Pattern Analyis has been utilized by a variety of enterprises, ranging from small partnerships to multi-national corporations. Long-term benefits of the approach are reflected in the continuous use of MPA in well-known business-industrial organizations over two decades. Applications in academic, diplomatic, military, and other institutions have also been explored in recent years.
