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 is about making a difference in people's performance and their organizations, not about understanding new techniques in the abstract. Nevertheless, as with 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 tell you.
The present content obviously cannot provide these experiences. It's intellectual rather than practical, although we hope it will help answer the questions you may have. If you are interested and have the skills, you are welcome to participate in its construction. The experience provided by our masterclass is central to GRI's learning: it guides you in applying your new knowledge as you learn. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates to know more about GRI's masterclass, management tools, and platform.
