A Platform for Leaders Who Can't Afford to Get People Decisions Wrong

Profile is launching a completely rebuilt behavioral platform that combines our trusted behavioral assessments with Playbook AI, enabling leaders to ask real questions and get answers grounded in behavioral data.
Profile Next is the most significant evolution of the platform since the company was founded, and it was built for one reason: leaders need more than a report. They need something they can act on.
The Problem We Built Profile to Solve
Most organizations make their most important people decisions based on intuition: who to hire, how to develop someone, how to build a team. The problem is that intuition alone leaves too much unnamed, and what leaders can't name, they can't fix.
The result is predictable: miscommunication that looks like a personality conflict. Underperformance that feels like a motivation problem. Teams with real talent that never quite click. Leaders who work hard and still can't figure out why something isn't working.
Profile was built to change that. Through three complementary assessments, DISC, Core, and Focus, Profile gives leaders an objective, structured system for understanding how their people actually work: how they communicate, what drives them, and how they perform when the pressure is on.
Introducing Profile Next
Profile Next is a ground-up rebuild of the platform, faster, clearer, and more usable than anything we've built before. At the center of it is Playbook AI.
Playbook is Profile's proprietary AI, embedded directly into the platform. Leaders can ask real questions about their people and get answers grounded in their team's actual behavioral data. No generic frameworks, no guesswork.
Questions like:
- How do I motivate this specific team member?
- How should I give this person feedback if I need change without creating defensiveness
- What does this person need from a leader to perform at their best?
Playbook AI answers those questions in real time. It replaces guesswork with precision and eliminates the need to interpret a stack of individual reports and figure out what to do with them.
Profile Next also introduces a fully redesigned platform experience built for speed and clarity, with enhanced comparative team analysis so leaders can see behavioral patterns, overlaps, and friction points across their entire organization, not just one person at a time.
What Profile Gives Your Team
Profile Next delivers clarity across four areas that matter most to leaders:
The behavioral edge behind elite teams. Miscommunication usually isn't about intent. It's about two people operating from different behavioral wiring without knowing it. Profile gives teams a shared understanding so leaders can close that gap before it becomes a conflict.
Clarity in high-stakes decisions. Whether you're hiring for a critical role, building a new team, or identifying your next leader, Profile replaces gut feeling with objective behavioral data. You stop guessing and start deciding with confidence.
Visibility at the team level. Most tools stop at the individual. Profile connects behavioral profiles across your entire department or roster so you can see where energy aligns, where friction shows up, and how to build around your people's natural strengths.
Faster, more effective coaching. Leaders can't develop people they don't fully understand. Profile gives coaches and managers the context they need to have better conversations, set people up for success, and build trust faster.
Built on a Secure Foundation You Can Trust
Profile was built with the understanding that behavioral data is sensitive. Your people's information is protected at every level, access is strictly controlled, and nothing is shared outside your organization.
Playbook AI responds from your team's actual assessment data, not a generalized model trained on other organizations' information. When a leader asks a question about a specific person, the answer is built from that person's DISC, Core, and Focus results. Enterprise accounts can also upload a custom knowledge base, layering in their own terminology, documentation, coaching frameworks, and culture context so AI outputs reflect how their organization actually operates.
Built for Leaders Across Every Arena
Profile is trusted by organizations including Nike, Amazon, the U.S. Army, CAA, Wintrust Financial, and more than 300 elite collegiate athletic departments nationwide. Whether you lead a Fortune 500 team or a championship program, the problem is the same: talented people underperform when leaders can't see clearly. Profile fixes that.
For too long, leaders have been asked to make their most consequential decisions about people with the least amount of objective information. Profile Next changes that. We built a platform that doesn't just tell you how someone is wired. It helps you act on that understanding in real time. That's the difference between insight and impact.
