It works and delivers on it’s promises.”

“Finally a tool with substance and panache to innovate the collaborative thinking of your enterprise. With years of client success, Bob Wiele and his team have done it again with the 4D-I; a dynamic instrument with solid research at it’s foundation.”

– Debra Amindon, Author – The Innovation SuperHighway & CEO of Entovation Inc.

“The 4D-I is an outstanding solution. It combines your interest in yourself, the suspense of quiz show with instantaneous results. It delivers powerful, practical insights in a completely non-threatening way.”

– Jeff Markle, President and COO, Human Arc

“When we discovered the 4D-i we saw it as a high quality solution that delivered the kind of total package we were looking for. It integrated multiple intelligences, creativity, innovation, resiliency and a number of components of emotional intelligence. It really was the ‘total package’ that helped us decides to bring OneSmartWorld and use the 4D-i in the program.”

– Greg Higgins, Director, APQC CATALYST Project

“I always make the point with the people I’m introducing the 4D-i to, that this thing comes with ‘workboots.’ I show them the page in the 4D-i that summarizes the person’s results and gives you coaching points and I emphasize that it’s a system that comes ready to work. With many other systems you get interesting information that you just don’t really know what to do with. With OSW you get something that you can instantly put to use.”

– Bob Wiebe, Founder, Enliven! Consulting.

“OneSmartWorld helps teams determine what the problem is and pin down where the difficulty is coming from. That really is the key to figuring out how to move past a difficulty and get back on track. It’s important to do this because in a world where profit and time are closely linked, business leaders really need to have everyone firing on all cylinders and contributing by collaborating, rather then being subversive within a group.”

– Debora Rothermel, President, IdeaWorks.
