In the year 2000, we embarked on a journey to change the landscape of training and performance improvement. Our strategic intent was to design, develop and execute a breakthrough organizational development solution that would make a positive difference in the lives and work of people, teams and organizations everywhere.
With 30 years of experience, over a million end users of programs and products that we had brought to the marketplace and more than 1500 private sector and public sector organizational clients, we set out to develop a new standard of excellence in our industry.
Leading edge clients told us that there was a sense of market saturation and to some degree stagnation, with the persistent use of the conventional four quadrant models like the MBTI, Social Styles and their various line extensions and iterations. Profiles left people wanting more. This prompted us to develop a new standard of excellence in our industry.
HR leaders told us their clients needed an answer to the ‘so what?’ question. Innovative organizations wanted a system, an end to end solution that was user friendly, quick to learn and practical to apply in the workplace. They wanted a solution that had electronic support embedded in it. They wanted to find better ways to optimize the intelligence of their people.
In creating the OneSmartWorld® system, we wanted a system that went beyond psychological type into learnable strategies that have a direct impact on performance. Our goal was to identify the core skills people can learn and use to achieve the success they want.
After three years of market testing and design/redesign, we launched the Smart for Life® platform, which coupled an award-winning profiling instrument of individual preferences and strengths (4D-i®) with a blended learning system for high performance and productivity.
Today, OneSmartWorld® and it’s revolutionary Smart for Life® productivity platform offer enterprise solutions that create sustainable competitive advantage by leveraging the untapped human potential.
