Case Studies Orange Credit Union: Improving Teamwork, Trust and Board Meetings with Whole Brain® Communications
When Australia's Orange Credit Union began implementing the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) and Whole Brain® Thinking with its management team, the positive results extended all the way to the Board. This case study explores how Whole Brain Thinking® is helping change the way management handles meetings, communicates within the team and communicates with staff to reinforce their efforts to build a culture of trust. Westpac Bank and Challenge Bank: A Whole Brain® Process Yields Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Success
In many cases, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and restructurings fail to achieve their intended benefits because they can inadvertently diminish the intellectual capital of the business. Workforce reductions deplete internal organizational knowledge, morale problems lead to a decrease in motivation, and the ideas and knowledge of the people are often undervalued. This case study of the merger of two Australian banks outlines how a merger can yield outstanding results when a Whole Brain® approach and process is applied. ArticlesDeveloping Management Muscle

White PapersThe Best of Both Worlds - Making Blended Learning Really Work By Engaging the Whole Brain®
When it's done right, blended learning offers a very brain-friendly approach to reaching your audiences and achieving desired learning and business objectives. But it can be easy to get caught up in the latest technology options and tools available, losing focus on what really matters: the learning. By using a Whole Brain® approach to plan for your audiences, design your learning, and adjust for environmental and cultural challenges, you'll be able to create memorable, engaging and effective learning that draws on the right solutions for the unique thinking styles of your learners. Know Change...or No Change Will Happen
You must be able to change your mindset or way of thinking to know that if you don't change, then no changes will ever happen. If your business is stuck in a rut and has stopped growing, maybe it's time for a change...a change in thinking styles. Research ItemsResearch Application Consent Form

A Metaphor for The HBDI®
Do you tune in your favorite radio station when you're in your car by twirling the dial or by programming your favorite stations so you can get them by simply pushing a button?
In some ways the way we use our brain is a little like the car radio. We can twirl the dial to get any station we like. But we also have favorite stations that we program in--the ones we prefer to listen to more often.
Some people, like my husband, have only rock stations programmed. Other people, like my Mom, are more eclectic and have a combination of easy listening music and radio talk shows. Other people don't have a strong preference and are always fiddling with the dial or reprogramming the stations!
Ned Herrmann's four-quadrant model of how the brain works helps us get a read on what "stations" we may have a strong preference for in our ways of thinking. Some of us have a strong preference in one quadrant while others of us have a preference in two, three or even four quadrants. It's not right, it's not wrong, it's just different.
Each of us can and do tune into any station we like. If we don't listen to a given station very often we may get some static and it may take some work to tune it in, but it's there for us to access.

I've been meaning to send you an email to thank you again for your work as a whole and for your session at the Training Conference. My new team (2 direct reports – my first time as a manager!) was assigned to me yesterday. I definitely want us to go through the HBDI® together as it will help us to more effectively communicate with each other and with our clients – and to plan our staff meetings, and to communicate with our families and friends. You can tell I'm a huge believer in the Whole Brain® Model!
