Inspired initially by Nobel Prize winning research, the HBDI has been completed by over 2.5 million individuals and is utilised in many of the world’s leading corporations. Your HBDI Profile will provide insights into your thinking preferences and as a result, insights into how you approach communication, decision-making, and problem-solving, as well as how you typically shift your thinking style when under pressure. Your results are provided at a prearranged individual or group debriefing session. This is a user-friendly individual and team development tool, accompanied by clear graphics and a comprehensive workbook.

It can be used as a spot check for CEOs, executives and leaders about how their behaviour is being perceived, for example by their board and direct reports; as well as being a powerful development tool for individuals, who want to delve deeper into themselves and make a significant personal shift, also serving to provide a common language for individuals, teams and organisations. The instrument is based on comprehensive, evidence-based research. For more information on the LSI, click here.
