Whole Brain Technology™ and the HBDI™
Just think…would you or your organisation like to:
- Lift your bottom line performance using 'Whole Brain Thinking'?
- Improve your decision making, problem solving, planning & communication?
- Differentiate yourself from others in the marketplace?
- Innovate more consistently and effectively?
- Become a 'Thought Leader' in your chosen field?
The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI™) is the world’s leading thinking styles assessment tool. The HBDI™ profile illustrates and explains the way you prefer to think, learn, communicate and make decisions. It identifies your preferred approach to emotional, analytical, structural, and strategic thinking. As we interact with the world, different situations require different types of thinking.
Understanding your personal thinking preferences will enable you to optimise your ability to adapt your thinking, decision-making or communication style to a given situation: it will also explain why it is easier to communicate with some people than it is with others. Your profile will also cast light on why some elements of your education or work seem effortless and more satisfying and why some academic subjects or hobbies are more interesting and appealing to you.
Your profile is based on a metaphoric representation of the brain, distinguished by four quarters of thinking preferences as shown in the diagram below.
The organising principle of the Whole Brain Model™

Based on 25 years of brain research, we help individuals and organisations to understand and use their whole brains which many would say is the greatest ‘hidden’ asset or catalyst for innovation and competitive advantage on earth.

Applying HBDI™ technology
The HBDI™ is not just another assessment tool. The HBDI picks up where other assessment tools leave off. Where most assessments end with a single report, the HBDI™ offers a valuable range of applications, including the following – some of which may sound very familiar….
- Are your people running out of ideas?
- Are you looking to write new business in a difficult environment?
- Looking for new products or to improve existing ones, but can’t find the key to crack the ‘killer’ concept or solution?
- Experiencing a communication breakdown?
- Difficult working relationships? Not getting the most out of each others’ contributions?
- Are people losing focus or are inefficiencies creeping in?
Just think…you can apply HBDI™ technology to increase your understanding of:

Creativity |
Mental Diversity |
Innovation |
Teaching and Training |
Leadership |
Management Styles |
Strategic Thinking and Planning |

Whatever the problem, Whole Brain Thinking™ is designed to get people (from CEO's through to the shop floor) to think better by understanding and using their whole brain. Whole Brain Thinking™ will, therefore, help people perform well beyond their own expectations and also, most importantly, beyond the expectations and needs of your organisation.

Your Return on Investment (ROI)
Using the Whole Brain approach, employing Whole Brain Technology™, you will find your company or organisation reaching new heights of performance, creativity and productivity – all because your people will be thinking better.
It will also expand your own horizons and perceptions of people's potential– helping realise the possible, not just the probable.
