Garuda Research Institute is Europe's largest developer and provider of own tools and tests for recruitment, leader development, coaching, team building, organizational development and similar management-activities. One of our test-tools is the Focus Profile, which is now the basis of the Golf Profile. Garuda is 100% Danish, established in 1982 by Finn Havaleschka. Today Garuda has companies and partners in USA and South America as well as in most European countries. www.garudahr.com and www.focusprofile.com.

The Focus Profile is developed on basis of more than 20 years of research in the individual personality, learning-style and focus-areas. Being an enthusiastic golfer I have been convinced that the correlation between learning-style, focus-areas and personality was not only relevant in business-life but was just as obvious when we were on the golf course. In business we use this knowledge to optimize learning processes, personal development, coaching, team building i.e.

But it was not until Gert Pedersen, Garuda employee and a just as enthusiastic golf player as myself, mentioned the correlation between The Focus areas of the Focus Profile and what we do on the course, that I realized that the solution was at hand. Gert and I have both been captains and with this hat on, we were often in the need of tools that could ensure optimum learning-processes, development and coaching of the golfer. And of course the knowledge and methods in the Focus Profile were a perfect match for our ideas on how to support and create long-term development-plans for the golfer and they are now the basis for the Golf Profile. When the method worked for our customers and managers all over the world, then why shouldn't the golfer also be able to use it as effectively?
