Welcome to Growth Resources

The resources accessible from this page provide detailed background and scientific information on GRI's adaptive profiles and their use.

GRI focuses on making a difference in people's performance and their organizations, not just on understanding new techniques in theory. However, similar to learning a new sport or musical instrument—and even more so with people—you need real experiences to compare other techniques you already know with what GRI can teach you.

The current resources clearly cannot offer these experiences. It's more academic than hands-on practice, though we hope it helps answer any questions you might have. For GRI's learning, the masterclass experience with our facilitation is essential. It will help you learn and apply your new knowledge simultaneously. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates to learn more about GRI's masterclass, management tools, and platform.

-GRI's wiki is a collection of articles, notes, and resources shared by the Growth Resources Institute to deepen one's understanding of adaptive profiles and their use for individual and organizational performance. It is also used for research purposes. The wiki includes many aspects related to assessment techniques, personal growth, leadership, management, recruitment, and organizational development.

-The wiki's content is more theoretical and technical than practical, helping you relate your learning to other works, theories, and concepts.  Using GRI's adaptive profiles and methods requires learning that starts with understanding your own profile and what you can possibly do with it, most of the time in a business context with a leadership position. The experience provided by GRI's masterclass is central to learning and applying adaptive profiles in their many applications.

-Like learning a new instrument, sport, or cooking, and even more when learning about people, including their relationships and organizations, you'll need a minimum of time to practice on real situations and people from your day-to-day activities. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates if you would like to be certified in the GRI tools and methods.
