About us

Using the power of creative problem solving to build better teams

We develop research-based, collaborative problem solving tools and trainings to help individuals, teams and organizations solve complex problems more effectively. Our products, which draw from more than 65 years of research into critical and creative thinking, are enhanced by our own research in thinking preferences. Our goal is to make the profound cognitive insights that underly the FourSight system easy to teach, learn and apply.

FourSight was founded by two PhD’s. Not surprisingly, scientific validation is a core part of FourSight’s approach. The FourSight theory, framework, tools and assessment are all based in research.

Dr. Gerard Puccio, author of the FourSight assessment, is a “Distinguished Professor” at the State University of New York, where he has chaired the Master of Science program in Creativity and Change Leadership for more than 20 years. In the 1990s, Puccio began developing and validating FourSight’s psychometric scale.

Since then, the FourSight theory and problem-solving framework have been validated by more than two dozen academic studies by the FourSight team as well as independent researchers around the globe.

FourSight has collected more than 6 million data points on how people solve problems and helped over 10,00 teams in business, government, military, nonprofit, and education learn to leverage their differences to produce better results.
