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’s social behaviors.

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.
