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.

-The resources accessible from this page are shared by the Growth Resources Institute to help you continue to develop individual and organizational performance by deepening your understanding of the adaptive profiles and how they relate to other knowledge in our field.

-The content is more theoretical and technical than practical. Using GRI's adaptive profiles and methods requires learning that starts with understanding your own profile and what you can do with it, most often in a business context with a leadership role. The experience provided by GRI's masterclass is central to learning and applying adaptive profiles in their many applications.
+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.
-Like learning a new instrument, sport, or cooking, and even more so when learning about people, including their relationships and organizations, you'll need a minimum of time to practice in real situations and with people you think you already know well.
-More than just learning, GRI offers you the opportunity to relearn much about people that seems immediate, obvious, but indeed will challenge your perceptions, intuition, and knowledge you already built and trust. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates if you would like to learn GRI tools and methods.
