Welcome to Growth Resources

The resources on this website offer detailed background and scientific information on GRI's research framework, assessment techniques, and the adaptive profiles. They contribute to a larger effort to enhance individual and organizational performance by using more objective data on people.

We hope the resources answer your questions; however, they are more academic than practical and cannot provide the hands-on experience needed to learn and apply the adaptive profiles. For effective learning, a masterclass experience facilitated by experts is essential. Similar to learning a new sport or musical instrument, you will need real-world practice to challenge the techniques you already use and to deepen your understanding of people, their teams, and their companies through the profiles.

The masterclass will help you learn and apply your new knowledge at the same time. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates to learn more about GRI's masterclass, management tools, and platform.

+The resources on this website offer detailed background and scientific information on GRI's research framework, assessment techniques, and the adaptive profiles. They contribute to a larger effort to enhance individual and organizational performance by using more objective data on people.
-The GRI wiki is a collection of articles, notes, and resources shared by the Growth Resources Institute on its research focusing on individual and organizational performance. It includes many aspects related to assessment techniques, management, recruitment, leadership, and organizational development.
+We hope the resources answer your questions; however, they are more academic than practical and cannot provide the hands-on experience needed to learn and apply the adaptive profiles. For effective learning, a masterclass experience facilitated by experts is essential. Similar to learning a new sport or musical instrument, you will need real-world practice to challenge the techniques you already use and to deepen your understanding of people, their teams, and their companies through the profiles.
-The wiki's content is more theoretical than practical, helping to relate your learning to other works, theories, and concepts. Using the GRI requires a learning that starts with understanding your adaptive profile, and what you can possibly do with it, most of the time in the context of an organization. The experience provided by GRI's masterclass is central to learning and applying the adaptive profiles in their many applications. Like learning a new instrument, and even more when learning about people, their relationships, and organizations, you'll need a minimum of time to practice from your day-to-day activities.
+The masterclass will help you learn and apply your new knowledge at the same time. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates to learn more about GRI's masterclass, management tools, and platform.
-Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates if you like to be certified in the GRI tools and methods.
