Whole Brain® Thinking means being able to fully leverage one’s own preferences, stretch to other quadrants when necessary, and adapt to and take advantage of the preferences of those around you to improve performance and results. It allows for far greater understanding of our cognitive diversity, and as a result creates a platform and common language for better communication, problem solving, decision making and relationship building.

Our preference to think in a particular way (Analytical, Structured, Relational, Experimental) results from using different thinking modes of our brains more frequently.  Everyone has access to all four quadrants but to varying degrees.

Whole Brain® Thinking is the underpinning framework of the highly validated Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®), which measures the thinking preferences of individuals, teams and organisations.

Here is a great video on Whole Brain® Thinking and how understanding your own and your teams’ thinking can exponentially improve your effectivity and results
