Global Reach

Our business clients have taken us to work in Canada, China, Costa Rica, Europe, Singapore and the United States. We understand the shifts taking place inside many major corporations today and are prepared to work with you wherever you are located or where you need us.

The Gold Standard

After much research in the 1980s and 1990s, we chose to use de Bono’s thinking tools in our business with our clients. They are the undisputed gold standard of creativity and innovation tools available throughout the world. They stand the test of time. They are practical. They work. It just didn’t make sense to reinvent the wheel.

We Offer the Complete Line of de Bono Methods

We are serious about helping our clients strengthen their businesses with fresh new thinking. We know from over 15 years of experience with de Bono’s tools we can’t do a good job of meeting your needs by providing training in only one or two of his tool kits; six thinking hats® and lateral thinking™ are the two most widely offered. We need to be able to provide you with enterprise wide solutions if that is what you need — breakthrough meeting facilitation, certification training, software application support, facilitator development, online tutorials, and coaching are just some examples. We are set up to best meet your needs.

How we Work

It starts with a conversation with your decision maker. Together we will uncover needs, results required, why at this time, what if you chose to do nothing, success measures and other critical information. We then prepare a recommendation of options that will meet your deliverables and consult with you to help you select the solution that best meets your needs. The contract process follows. You issue a purchase order and we do the work. We work with you every step of the way to ensure your needs are met. We end with a formal debrief to ensure you are on track and that we capture lessons learned that we can incorporate into our practices.

Our Team

We are very careful to work with the top de Bono Thinking Systems, Inc. trained facilitators and master trainers. They are business experts and understand the fast pace of work and change today. You deserve the very best. If our leader, Lynda Curtin is available to meet your needs, she will be very happy to work with you. Clients enjoy her energy, enthusiasm and high level of expertise.
