Whole Brain® Business Health Check

Is your business healthy in a whole brained way?

With the threat of swine flu, lots of people are getting a health check. Why not give your organisation a quick business health check as well. Not for swine flu but for how well it is thinking.

The Whole Brain® Business Health Check will quickly identify your organisation’s business strengths and performance profile and highlight areas that may represent a risk for your business. By completing this short second survey you will find out if you are overlooking a quadrant and what to do about it.

Go to www.herrmann.co.nz follow the link and complete your free health check today.

The Whole Brain® Advantage

The Whole Brain® Advantage is the advantage you get when you turn Whole Brain Thinking into a way of doing business.

We know it takes a Whole Brain approach to address the analytical, strategic, interpersonal and organisational elements that are all vital to the organisation’s success.

When every aspect of brainpower is put to work, the results are realised in areas that provide a distinct competitive advantage.

Find out how Cirque du Soleil is getting results with the Whole Brain Advantage.

Coming in July 2009—stay tuned to our website for release of the Thinking Accelerator™ featuring HBDIinteractive™.

Forum of the month for Certified Practitioners

After a highly successful Education Certification program, this month we have added a forum about teaching and learning.

• How do thinking preferences effect how you teach and learn?
• Are brain friendly classrooms as good as they say they are?
• Should thinking be taught as a subject in its own right?

If you have already registered for the Forum then please login and join the discussion.

If you haven’t registered for the whole brain forum please register on-line.
