There are still places available for our free Breakfast Seminar on 15th May and we are now able to offer you a chance to have your own
on-line personal profile taken prior to the event.
The Dolphin Index can help release the
creative and innovative potential within specific key teams, departments and
throughout your entire organisation.
It matches your
score in the 13 dimensions* of
innovation against norms established by other respondents and many
years of research.
As soon as you have completed all the questions you
will get an immediate snapshot of your results. If you want a permanent record
you need to print your profile BEFORE leaving the screen and don’t forget to
bring it along on the day.
Mark Brown will be available to discuss results on a 1-2-1
basis at the completion of the morning’s activities.
