HBDI® Fundamentals—An introduction to Whole Brain Thinking

What is it?

HBDI® Fundamentals is a 40 minute interactive e-Learning program. The HBDI Fundamentals is available to Level 1 HBDI Certified Practitioners.

What does it cover?

The e-Learning program:

• defines and describes the Whole Brain Model™, the basis of the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument
• examines how thinking preferences affect behaviour in planning, work, relationships and communication
• explores how participants’ behaviours affect their styles
• prepares the participant to fully understand and apply their HBDI Profile.

When do participants complete it?

Participants complete HBDI Fundamentals immediately after they have competed their on-line HBDI and before they receive their HBDI Profiles.

Why use the HBDI Fundamentals program?

There are two main reasons why organisations use HBDI Fundamentals:

As an addition to classroom training

By having all participants complete the HBDI Fundamentals prior to attending any classroom training, you can:

• ensure everyone enters the classroom with a common level of understanding
• use the content as a reference and launching pad for subsequent training
• use the 'participant exercise' contained in the program to check understanding and self insight
• use the administrator feature to manage participation and attendance.

When using HBDI Fundamentals as an addition, the subsequent classroom training remains the same.

As a replacement for classroom training

Some participants are restricted in the amount of time they can spend in the classroom. This could be due to job pressures, client obligations or travel restrictions.

In cases such as this, some of the usual classroom training can be replaced by the e-Learning program.

By having all participants complete HBDI Fundamentals prior to attending any classroom training, you can:

• reduce classroom time by approximately 60 – 90 minutes
• ensure that participants have a basic understanding of the key concepts on which to build
• ensure everyone enters the classroom learning with a common understanding
• use the content as a reference and launching pad for subsequent training
• use the 'participant exercise' contained in the program to check understanding and self insight
• use the administrator feature to manage participation and attendance.

When using the HBDI Fundamentals to reduce the amount of classroom time, the subsequent classroom training needs to be adapted to suit.

The HBDI Fundamentals is available to Level 1 HBDI Certified Practitioners.
