Whole Brain® Thinking

Herrmann International’s more than 30 years of research on the brain and its impact on business performance has shown that it’s not just what you think but how you think that gets results.

The good news is that while you may prefer certain modes of thinking over others, everyone has access to their whole brains - in other words, all four quadrants of thinking are available to you.

Once you discover what your preferences are and what areas you tend to avoid or overlook, you can learn how to tap into and expand your thinking so you can optimise your approach to different situations, people and problems. This is the skill of Whole Brain® Thinking.

Whole Brain® Thinking gives you a way to take back control and flex your thinking agility so you can face those stressful situations with a clear head.

The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) is the highly validated 120-question assessment at the heart of the Whole Brain® Thinking approach. It defines and describes a thinker’s degrees of preferences for thinking across the four quadrants of the Whole Brain® Model.

It also reveals your “under pressure” profile, revealing how your thinking shifts when you’re dealing with stress and pressure - and how to use that information to be more productive and effective in any situation.

HBDI® assessments are available for individuals, pairs and teams, providing a wealth of information, tools and insights for navigating today’s complex business environment more successfully.
