Traditional Profiling Tools Lack Application
Psychometric assessments like Myers-Briggs® & DISC® are based on westernised archetypes developed at the end of the 19th century for the field of psychiatry.
More recently, psychometric profiles were redeveloped and retrofitted for workplaces. They became widely utilised to facilitate entertaining discussions with your workforce on team days & retreats.
However, a common point of contention is that these assessments don't provide tangible value that can you actually apply to every day situations.
That's why Cerebration works with organisations who find traditional psychometrics lack the level of organisational application required for their diverse 21st century business. Our clients demand modern ethical assessments and frameworks that have demonstrable value.
We utilise a proven methodology with effective application models that improve self-awareness, understanding, emotional intelligence and self-mastery.
It's called 'Whole Brain® Thinking'.
How Does Whole Brain® Thinking Work?
It’s important to think about our thinking. Thinking is our brain process of making sense of the world but ways of thinking are different for each of us, meaning we all process information differently.
Lets say that you are about to undertake a major project, what’s your first thought?
Analytical
Thinking
• What do the numbers say?
• What are we going to be measured on?
Practical
Thinking
• We need a plan, what comes first?
• How’s this been done before?
Relational
Thinking
• Who’s going to be on my team?
• Who is this going to impact?
Experimental
Thinking
• I have lots of ideas, where do we want to be when it’s done?
• What’s the vision?
These four different ways of looking at the start of a project give a taste for the four different types of thinking in the Whole Brain® model.
The Whole Brain® Model
Whole Brain® Thinking is a scalable framework that provides a lens for improved understanding and insight.
The model works because It acknowledges that different tasks require different mental processes, and different people prefer different kinds of thinking.
Having a method to help decode and understand people’s thinking preferences is important is because individuals and organisations get better results when they can strategically leverage the full spectrum of thinking available.

Public Narrative For Social Change
Crafting a narrative that motivates people to take action is one of the most important aspects of leadership. It is also one of the most challenging. Year after year great ideas and opportunities fail because the narrative they used failed to connect with their audience.
Public Narrative is a leadership practice used to motivate others to join you in action. It is a framework for crafting and telling your story developed by Prof. Marshall Ganz of the Harvard Kennedy School.
