Foursight
What is it ?
"FourSight: The Breakthrough Thinking Profile" is a leading assessment tool, designed to boost critical and creative problem solving skills in individuals and groups. Available online or in paper form, the 37-question survey is backed by 50 years of academic research and 16 years of scientific validation. Hundreds of corporate, educational and nonprofit clients use FourSight to get a simple, striking look at exactly where they excel and breakdown in the four distinct phases of the breakthrough thinking process.
Discover as an individual, team or organization: Are you a Clarifier? An Ideator? A Developer? An Implementer? Some combination? The ability to understand and leverage your thinking style is the first step toward breakthrough results. Every profile (whether paper or online) comes with a 16-page, full-color feedback booklet.
What other FourSight materials are available?
FourSight offers a variety of other tools, both for presenters and participants, that expand and extend the insights offered by the profile. Based on the latest research in applied innovation, these materials include:
FourSight Presenter's Guide, this 5-section binder is designed for trainers and presenters who will be debriefing the FourSight profile with individuals or groups. The Presenter's Guide comes complete with agendas, activities and a CD with a scripted power point presentation that details the four styles and reveals how they each work (and don't work) in a group setting. The Presenter's Guide also includes a copy of the FourSight Technical Manual with the detailed results of research studies that attest to the validity of the assessment.
FourSight: Your Tool Cards, this deck of 20, 5"x7" full-color, illustrated tools is designed as a way for each participant to carry forward the insights gained from the FourSight profile. With five tools in each of the problem solving styles, participants will learn to improve their ability to clarify, ideate, develop and implement, alone or in a group setting.
FourSight: Your Guide Book, designed for participants who are ready to take their FourSight learning to the next level, this colorful, 20-page booklet is a step-by-step guide to the problem solving process. Use mini sticky notes to work through a real challenge, from beginning to end. Made to use again and again with individuals or groups.
How does it work ?
The feedback booklet and the presentation materials are designed in such a way that an experienced facilitator can use this tool with groups without any formal certification at this point. However, every spring we offer a certification course for advanced FourSight users who want to get more experience in the many applications of this tool.
Included in the "FourSight Presenter's Guide" is a CD with a scripted Power Point presentation. The guide also includes suggested agendas and activities for debriefing FourSight with a team.
