COURSE OVERVIEW
Delivery mode: In person
Duration: Half Day
Do you sense a gap in your team’s ability to consider issues from all perspectives? Perhaps they’re
all so similar in their problem-solving that they consistently miss the same things? Or perhaps the
opposite is true – they’re quite different in their approach and communication style, and that
difference is creating tension and misunderstanding?
Recent research has suggested that cognitive diversity is more important than any other kind
of diversity in the workplace, to achieve good results. Whole Brain Thinking is a model
proposed by Ned Herrman in the 1970’s. He formed the theory initially based on neuroscientific research, then evolved it to create a useful model that was applicable to ‘real life’.
It is currently used in workplaces all around the world to help colleagues better understand
themselves and each other and uses an online assessment called HBDI (Hermann Brain
Dominance Instrument).
Learning Outcomes
• Understand that there are 4 different ‘types’ of thinking, or cognition. We all do them all, but
we don’t PREFER them equally. Therefore, we tend to use one or two thinking styles more
frequently than others
• Learn why it sometimes feels like we’re speaking in a different language to some colleagues,
and why we aren’t able to influence them effectively
• Self-assess your own thinking preferences before being issued with your HBDI results
