The Entrepreneurial Dimensions Profile® (EDP) is an empirically-based, cutting-edge assessment tool based on extensive research into the traits, motivations and skills of entrepreneurs. Available in multiple formats, the EDP can help both individual contributors and leaders, as well as students of entrepreneurship, assess the degree to which they are utilizing an "entrepreneurial mindset." As organizational leaders pursue growth and innovation, they will find the EDP invaluable in allowing them not only to benchmark but also to activate the entrepreneurial capacity of their team members.
|
|
The EDP provides scores on 14 discrete scales that fall within two broad domains: seven of the scales assess personality characteristics and motivation that have been found to distinguish entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs, and the other seven assess cognitive and behavioral skills critical to entrepreneurial success. The EDP is currently offered in three different formats: a self-report version (your own view of yourself), a 360-degree version (feedback from various rater categories, including bosses, peers and direct reports), and a group feedback report (composite data for a team). Accompanying each type of report are definitions of the scales, numerical graphs which display an individual or team's scores compared to various norm groups, interpretive material, and tailored strategies for developing entrepreneurial skills.
|
|
Available in an on-line format, the EDP is quick and easy to administer and the report, while comprehensive, is easy to understand. The exclusive normative data enables individuals and teams to compare their results with entrepreneurs and corporate leaders across all industry segments.

Recognizing that the challenges faced by organizations are both broad and varied, LDI offers customized programs using the EDP to address specific needs. The EDP can be incorporated into programs designed to assess and promote competencies such as innovation, creativity and growth leadership. Alternately, it can be used to benchmark a team's entrepreneurial capacity prior to the design of a program, so that the program can accurately target the team's specific opportunities for development.
