The KOLBE Founder, Kathy Kolbe, grew up watching her father, Eldon Wonderlic, research and develop the first cognitive assessment used extensively by business and government. She was driven to more fully understand what drives human performance and began her own research and development of the first conative assessment. For the past 40+ years, they have been working to bring insight and understanding that helps people and organizations achieve their goals.

Why the Kolbe? 

1. The Power of Human Instincts

People perform their best when they're free to trust their instincts. With the help of Kolbe online assessments and analytic software, we'll use this age-old truth to dramatically improve your business. Whether you're hiring a new employee, merging departments or simply trying to manage your team better, the Kolbe System shows you how to leverage the power of human instincts to accomplish organizational goals.

2. The Promise of Higher Performance

The Kolbe System™ analyzes the way people take purposeful action and provides strategies for improving individual and group performance. As a Kolbe Certified™ Specialist, we have the unique tools, training, and expertise to help you:

  • Select the right person for the right position
  • Reduce unwanted turnover
  • Improve team synergy
  • Increase productivity
3. The Kolbe A™ Index

Personnel assessment tools have historically focused on measuring the cognitive {IQ) and affective (personality) parts of the mind. While these tools are helpful in hiring and selection, they cannot measure the instinctive, or conative, dimension of the mind which is far more predictive of actual performance.

Validated by more than 30 years of case studies and academic research, the Kolbe A™ Index measures four instinctive patterns of behavior, or Action Modes®, which determine an individual's natural method of problem solving:

Fact Finder: Ways of gathering and sharing information
Follow Through: Ways of arranging and designing
Quick Start: Ways of dealing with risk and uncertainty
Implementor: Ways of handling space and tangibles
Understanding the role of instincts will help you attract, retain, and motivate great people to build a successful organization.

What topics will we cover? 

In a typical two hour workshop for your agency, the following topics are discussed:

  • What is Kolbe and why is it important to understand?
  • How does Kolbe help with communication?
  • Ensuring the right people are placed in the right roles
  • Setting up your agency staff for success
  • Team synergy reports - who in your agency can be relied on for various tasks, where some might be lacking "strengths" and how to have effective group meetings and projects
