These beliefs are deeply anchored in one's experience. The beliefs may change when faced with practical challenges or if prompted by the company as part of a leadership development program. GRI adaptive profiles and organizational profiles also indicate how a new technique, such as an assessment, will deploy: at different speeds, with more or less structure and processes, communication, and consensus.

	Among the various uses of assessment techniques, those at an organizational level appear to be the most significant and impactful. New information for analyzing teams, departments, companies, and their management during mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations that is accurate, helps make important people decisions that typically need to happen fast, and will have important repercussions on their future development, engagement, and performance.		Among the various uses of assessment techniques, those at an organizational level appear to be the most significant and impactful. New information for analyzing teams, departments, companies, and their management during mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations that is accurate, helps make important people decisions that typically need to happen fast, and will have important repercussions on their future development, engagement, and performance.

	Envisioning jobs to be filled more accurately at all levels of a company, including for executives and directors, is strategic for the organization's needs and ~~how it will function~~. The characteristics of the individuals who will be recruited and managed for those jobs must be consistent and align with the vision and strategic intent. This naturally happens with characteristics such as experience or diplomas. It happens similarly with other characteristics that can help in leveraging performance.

	In behavioral terms, for comparisons with individuals’ adaptive profiles, we refer, at GRI, to those characteristics at a job level as a PBI (Position Behavior Indicator), or at a team or company level as a TBI (Team Behavior Indicator). The use of those indicators has proven valuable for guiding recruitment and organizational development by executives and managers.

Using GRI’s general framework, an analysis of the causal factors underlying the use of assessment techniques helped identify four categories:
