Profile Plus – Now Available

Profile Plus is now available through those National Partners who supply NCD Surveys in English or German (other languages will follow soon). It is the new comprehensive and biotic tool for exploring and analyzing the root causes of NCD Survey results.

Profile Plus was previewed in the August issue of eNCDine where its benefits were listed. In Australia, its predecessor has been enthusiastically adopted over the last year by local church leaders, denominational leaders and NCD Coaches looking for a detailed, holistic picture of profile results. Most now regard it as indispensable.

One key benefit of Profile Plus is that you can see the detailed results of up to four surveys in one report. Track trends. See exactly what changes in all eight Quality Characteristics by working on your Minimum Factor. Identify obstacles to growth not apparent by doing only one or two profiles. Anticipate obstacles before they become a major problem. See clearly the interdependence between Quality Characteristics.

Another key benefit is the specific listing of the church's ten healthiest areas. NCD is not just about your Minimum Factor, but knowing your strengths so that they can be celebrated and applied to areas where the church's health is not as good.

Have a look at the sample report of a local church [PDF-file, 370 KB]. There also is a sample interpretation exercise [PDF-file, 139 KB] with the report to help you explore its contents .

Profile Plus can only be ordered through your NCD National Partner. If you have completed your most recent NCD survey after January 1, 2004, you do not need to wait until your next Survey to get a Profile Plus report - you can get it straight away.

The Profile Plus team of NCD International and NCD Australia trust you will benefit greatly from using this tool as you do successive surveys and implement NCD over the long term.
