Author Matt Ridley used this rather provocative title recently to forward further ideas of a collective brain that is emerging. In spite of horror stories that populate our daily newspapers there are some amazing statistics about the state of human lives that re worthy of reflection. Our world does not rely on individual intelligence but on collective knowledge and skills that are interdependent on networks.

Sample Mind Map created in VisiMap
Herrmann International has recently updated the HBDI Assessment package to make it more convenient for users.Originally composed of four separate booklets these have now been consolidated into a single package which is easier to use.
Within each personal folder are four sections. The first helps you understand the Whole Brain (R) model. The second takes you through your personal profile step by step and explains it. The third helps you understand how your profile has an impact on your work; it also allows you to understand the mental preferences of others so that you can value their strengths, which may be quite different than your own. Finally you can explore your profile further through additional ideas and exercises.
So now the improved profile can continue to offer learning insights to 90% of Fortune 500 companies, – and you!

Here’s something to watch from Herrmann International Asia – originally posted in earlier in the year, but still relevant.
