A team is a group of two or more people working together to accomplish a task. With the explosion of knowledge in the information age and the greater interdependence of different work groups, it has become clear that team members need to work together more effectively to accomplish tasks.

A procurement team that works well together is not a chance event. People concerned about effective teams need to understand themselves first. They also need to know how they function in a group setting. By analysing the collective thinking preferences on a team, they can start to discover and appropriately manage areas of strength and weakness.

What is Whole Brain Thinking?

• Improves Team Development: Discover your team’s strengths. Focus on maximising their abilities. Develop a strategy for managing their weaknesses. By analysing collective “thinking preferences” you can discover and appropriately manage your team’s development so that it realises its full potential.
• Helps with Problem Solving/Decision making: Learn new techniques that incorporate team member’s preferences. The zigzag approach allows all team members to contribute equally to solving problems and arriving at “whole brain” conclusions.
• Enables better Task Assignment: Different thinking styles are attracted to different tasks; “different drums, different drummers”. Find out how to allocate out tasks and activities based on how individuals think. People are more productive when they are stimulated.
• Increases Effective Negotiating: Use a Whole Brain approach to improve all forms of Negotiating, Influencing and Persuasion. By understanding and valuing diversity both parties can avoid unnecessary conflict and achieve the desired outcome. Many people have commented Whole Brain Thinking has given them new insights and perspectives.
