Maximizing Your Organization’s Whole Brain®
“Whole Brain® Thinking has given our managers a critical new method for improving business planning, strengthening their teams and boosting efficiency.”
-- Jerry Smith, Field Manager, Microsoft

Herrmann’s Whole Brain® Thinking methodology is the set of proven practices for cultivating the ability for individuals to act outside of their own preferred thinking styles. It can help your organization to:
- Build effective teams
- Create an innovative business strategy to solve a revenue problem
- Manage mergers and acquisitions
- Initiate organizational culture change
- Develop a customer service strategy
- Increase job satisfaction and decrease turnover
- Solve a product or revenue problem
- Improve your decision making, problem solving, and planning skills
- Differentiate your organization from the competition
- Innovate more consistently and effectively
The Herrmann® Approach
The most natural place to start applying Whole Brain® Thinking is to determine the individual thinking styles of the people in your organization. From there, the possibilities are
- Foundation – Individuals and teams complete the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®), which assesses thinking preferences.
- Application – Specific group objectives are addressed (e.g., communication, team building) through workshops, consulting and tailored products with the goal of helping people learn to think with their whole brains, not just with the parts with which they feel most comfortable.
- Adoption – Divisions such as sales, customer service, research & development work with Herrmann to utilize Whole Brain® Thinking
- Transformation – Herrmann provides assessment tools, training programs, performance research and counsel to company leaders to build a culture in which Whole Brain® Thinking principles are embedded across an entire organization.
