Backed by research and built for scale, FourSight is a collaborative problem solving system that helps teams work better together to achieve better results.
Our research shows that it takes four types of thinking to solve a problem. Teams that use all types of thinking when problem solving achieve better business results, but our preferences for certain types of thinking can get in the way.
The new FourSight Online platform delivers an assessment, tools, and training to help teams think better together.
Organizations that use FourSight get better performance and happier teams.
Independent researchers found teams with FourSight perform better over time in problem solving, innovation, and collaboration.
By helping teams understand their thinking preferences and how to work better together, FourSight helps teams reduce the interpersonal friction that can get in the way of performance.
People gain confidence when they see how they naturally contribute to the team. They also get tools to stay engaged in areas of low preference.
FourSight teaches people to value rather than avoid people who think differently. Training helps teams learn to leverage differences for better business results.
