Ancient Greek philosophers implored humanity to "know thyself". This principle for living a full life remains important today, yet many individuals and executives rush to decisions without first exploring themselves as individuals, as couples, as teams, as workplace cultures.
At Karina Butera Consulting we advocate conducting thorough assessments as part of any attempt to create relationship change. We are able to assist you in evaluated your current reality through a wide range of behavioural, psychological, team and organisational profiling tools.
To complete a jigsaw puzzle without all the pieces will not lead to a satisfying result. Likewise, to conduct any sort of project without first fully assessing the needs and factors in play, will not lead to the best possible result.
Exploratory assessments help us delve beneath the surface of a perceived problem or dilemma. They will not solve our problems, but they will give us important information as a foundation; they help us measure our results and they give us a useful language to use as our project unfolds.
It can be tempting to skip full assessments as part of cost-cutting. However, money saved in the early stages inevitably is lost later through budget blow-outs of the project, stalling or undermining achievement of the best results. The irony is that assessments conducted through Karina Butera Consulting are often arranged at very little cost to the customer.
Below are some of the tools that we can use to assist your business and staff.
