Kolbe Corp

Based in Phoenix, Kolbe Corp develops assessments and tools focused on how people naturally take action, solve problems, and make decisions. Its Kolbe A Index provides an individual profile, while team results help organizations understand how work fits each person and where collaboration may be difficult. Leaders can use the findings for team development, hiring, and making better use of existing talent. Kolbe also offers business accounts and sample reports. Consultants, coaches, and other professionals who work with people and teams can pursue Kolbe Certification to use the system with clients. The company describes its approach as measuring conation, or instinctive ways of getting things done, rather than personality or intelligence. Educational materials include reports, a podcast, articles, and a book chapter.
