The Assessment of Dynamic Adaptation

A measure of thriving at work

The Assessment of Dynamic Adaptation ® (ADA) is a psychologically informed approach to assessing the wellbeing of you and your staff.

Underpinning all Petros programmes and interventions. With the world becoming a more demanding place, wouldn’t you rather prevent and prevail than allow to fail?

A comprehensive psychometric assessment, the ADA® is designed to help individuals and organisations measure the most critical characteristics that can predict thriving at work. Watch our short video to find out more…

The ADA^® is also designed to be used alongside our Model of Dynamic Adaptation^®, the easy-to-use framework that shows you where and how to intervene to help people thrive.
