Think Productively with the HBDI

HBDI - Whole Brain Thinking for Teams & Individuals

Understand & Apply the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument

The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) profile illustrates and explains the way you prefer to think, learn, communicate, and make decisions. As we interact with the world, different situations require different types of thinking – The Whole Brain Model is a Metaphor for the way we think.

Overview:HBDI Whole Brain Thinking

This workshop focuses on the practical application of understanding our thinking preferences, and participants will:

  • play The Diversity Game - A fun way to explore the thinking diversity within us;
  • understand why grey matter matters;
  • gain an understanding of the Herrmann model and discover their own thinking profile;
  • become aware of thinking preferences in order to use them better in their personal and professional life;
  • explore their own profile with ideas and exercises to become more whole brained thinkers; and
  • understand how their profile compares to others and the implications for team work,
    leadership, creativity and communication.

Benefits/Outline:      

Your profile is based on a metaphoric representation of the brain, distinguished by four quadrants of thinking preferences. Understanding your personal thinking preferences will:

  • serve as a tool for your personal development, to improve leadership skills, communication and encourage innovation - igniting breakthrough thinking and creativity.
  • enable you to optimise your ability to adapt your thinking, decision making or communication style to a given situation;
  • explain why it is easier to communicate with some people than it is with others;
  • 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.

Participants complete the HBDI confidential survey online about two weeks prior to the workshop, when they receive their Personal HBDI Profile Pack.  During the workshop the contents of the pack are explained and explored, so individuals and teams can put their knowledge into practical application.
