What exactly does the Kolbe Assessment do?
The Kolbe A™ Index measures instinct; how you innately take action. This is defined by the word conation, which means action derived from instinct.
By understanding instincts.
At The Instinctive Advantage, our work is based on conation, which is your gut response (your instinct). It’s your default setting — how you take action even when you’re not aware of it. Employees will reach optimum levels of productivity when working in their “instinctive mode” — that is, in a way that’s consistent with their natural, intuitive responses. When teams understand how each member instinctively takes action, they are able to work together to unleash true synergy.
And implementing solutions.
1
creating team synergy
Sometimes it just takes some understanding, development, and the right instincts to create team synergy.
2
long-term integration
Other times it requires a more in depth business assessment & evaluation of time management, stress reduction, and problem solving.
3
hiring & on-boarding
Either way, how you hire and on-board your employees plays a crucial role in how you retain and develop your teams.

What kind of businesses can implement the Kolbe assessment?

Unlike other assessments I feel like we've all had to take over time, the Kolbe measures your innate talents. And having your report read back to and interpreted by Erin for you - is beyond helpful in many different ways. For me, it validated why I felt a certain way about things I loved and hated doing. And it gave me the added insight and reinforcement to 'stick to' certain things as I moved forward in working to find what was next for me.

Kolbe is one of the tools we teach in EOS. When I have a team doing the Kolbe assessment, I always get a team assessment in advance of the session from The Instinctive Advantage. Because they are steeped in Kolbe every day there is a depth and an appreciation for it that I cannot provide on my own. Their coaching and counsel position me to be better prepared, ask better questions and provide a better experience for my clients. I have no hesitation in referring The Instinctive Advantage.

“The Instinctive Advantage was right on the money for what we were looking for -- and I think what we needed as a team.
