The document discusses an entrepreneurial skills assessment tool called the E-Scan. The E-Scan identifies an individual's entrepreneurial profile by assessing the fit between their entrepreneurial competences and intentions across different domains like business goals and personal motivations. Results from 223 participants show high recognition of the insights provided by their initial E-Scan and coaching program to further develop entrepreneurial skills. A study on the impact of a StartSmart coaching program found significantly higher success and growth rates for participants compared to a control group.
