4. Profile Assessment

1. Objective

This self-assessment helps you determine in ten minutes which organisational profile — Explorer, Builder or Visionary — best matches your current situation. The result guides you to the right modules and recommended Collaboration Modes.

Use this as a starting point, not a final verdict

Maturity is not a fixed label. Your organisation can have a different level per use case or per department. Adapt the profile to the specific context of your project.
