Teams are made up of individuals with different thinking preferences and energy patterns. Effective collaboration is about getting the most from both individual and collective brainpower, with each member contributing to the common goal. All teams are better when they benefit from diversity – whether in the C-Suite, in the field, or on the shop floor.

Many teams struggle to align and work cohesively in these unprecedented times.

GCS can help your team reach alignment faster, resolve conflicts better, improve engagement, solve problems, and have more impact in a fresh and engaging way.

Interactive and memorable team building sessions based on an assessment or survey via Zoom or in person, unlock an understanding of your team’s cognitive diversity, the opportunities that it creates, and the areas you might overlook.

Unlike other options that are ‘one-and-done,’ an integrated suite of sticky digital apps and blended learning creates an ongoing journey that reinforces the team building session and creates greater cohesion, connection, and ROI for teams.

Easy-to-use tools enable teams to become more effective by harnessing their cognitive diversity in daily interactions. They provide an excellent way to initiate team discussion about areas of opportunity and address areas of conflict and stress without the emotional baggage often associated with group interaction.

Have you ever wished you could give others a ‘cheat sheet’ on how to best collaborate with you? A sharing feature equips team members to better understand each other, and learn how to work together better by offering insights into each other’s frustrations, communication preferences, decision-making processes, and more.

Teams are equipped to take action on a variety of application areas, including:

• Improving communication
• Managing change & crisis
• Developing strategy
• Leading effective meetings
• Making important decisions
• Solving tough problems
• Managing remote/distributed teams
• …and more!

Why Thinking and Energy Preferences?

Understanding thinking – the cognition that shapes our personality and behavior – is critical to improving effectiveness and engagement. Instead of putting folks “in a box,” our tools focus on harnessing cognitive diversity and stretching your team’s thinking agility to keep up with accelerating change. It’s research-based team development based on the science of neuroplasticity, teaching that we all have the capacity to flex our thinking.  This creates a positive, inclusive learning experience without pigeonholing or non-productive labelling.
