The Value of using FourSight with Creative Problem Solving training
The research-proven benefits of understanding and utilizing the FourSight results include (research studies available upon request):
1. Accountability increases by:
a. Minimizing “storming” during team interactions
b. Increasing Team Effectiveness and building trust and respect by leveraging individual members’ cognitive and affective creative preferences
c. Learning a common language about creative problem solving
2. Collaboration occurs through:
a. Conflict resolution by increasing the probability for win-win solutions
b. Inclusion by revealing what separates people and what unites them
c. Create a collaborative atmosphere by understanding creative preferences and creative thinking basics like divergence and convergence and their guidelines
3. Communication improves through understanding thinking preferences and preventing breakdowns by clarifying assumptions.
4. Leadership develops by:
a. Increasing individual influence when we hear and speak to others’ interests
b. Creating Self-awareness and awareness of others by knowing individual preferences which increase leader and follower empathy
5. Positive climate is created by knowing styles and reducing misunderstandings. (For example, a Clarifier team leader asking many questions can feel like he/she lacks trust in a team who was used to an Ideator who encouraged generating new possibilities and ideas).
6. Capacity for complex problem-solving builds as cognitive preferences are matched with tasks and team members understand the creative problem solving process experientially
7. Employee satisfaction and engagement increases:
a. Proactive personality is positively correlated with employee creativity and employee creativity is positively correlated with career satisfaction and perceived insider status
b. Creativity training fully mediates the relationships between proactive personality, career satisfaction, and perceived insider status.
Together we solve complex problems with new ideas that deliver value.
