As a practitioner of the Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile® (EMP), I have witnessed firsthand how this powerful tool can unlock potential and drive success for individuals and organisations alike. The EMP is not just an assessment; it’s a comprehensive framework that helps people understand their entrepreneurial traits, motivations, and skills.

The EMP is grounded in extensive research and evaluates 14 distinct scales that reflect the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.

These scales include traits such as risk acceptancenonconformity, and future focus, among others. By assessing these areas, individuals can gain valuable insights into their strengths and areas for growth. This mindset empowers individuals to navigate challenges, embrace innovation, and seize opportunities. The EMP provides a roadmap for developing this mindset, allowing individuals to become more adaptable and resilient in the face of change.

Corporate Leaders

What should you be doing to help your teams and organisations grow and stay ahead of the competition?

Having an “entrepreneurial mindset” is essential to sustaining growth and innovation. The Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile® (EMP) is a cutting-edge assessment tool that examines the skills and capabilities that are needed for this new way of operating. The EMP helps corporate leaders and entrepreneurs assess the degree to which they are utilising an “entrepreneurial mindset” and provides resources to leverage that competitive edge.

The EMP Feedback Report provides scores on 14 discrete scales that fall within two broad domains – personality Scales & Skills scales.
