What is OneSmartWorld?
OneSmartWorld is a Performance Improvement Company
We help teams work smarter together using one simple system for problem solving, collaboration and leadership development. Our clients save time and money, and build higher performing teams by engaging the remarkable intelligence of their people.
What do we mean by smarter together? We believe that brainpower is the most vital resource a team has. As team members, we contribute not only what we know but how we think. Core to our work is the understanding that people think differently and that cognitive diversity is a team’s greatest asset. Being smarter together is about bringing all that brainpower together using processes and tools that help teams get the best return on collective intelligence. That’s smart.
Our Big Vision
Cognitive Diversity is a team's greatest asset, advantage & challenge
Our vision is for a world where people’s differences, including their thinking style, are recognized, valued and engaged -- where cognitive diversity is understood to be a team’s greatest asset and an advantage.
Today the world faces new challenges never before seen. New skills and tools are needed to solve the world’s most pressing problems. It is only through the collective intelligence and engagement of all of us that we will be successful in meeting the challenges of the moment.
Your People + Our Solutions
Our solutions are based on original research into the thinking styles of over 100,000 people, and proven results from more than 1000 organizations worldwide.
The Four Dimensions Inventory: 4D-i®
Not another personality test! The 4D-i® focuses on learnable skills that impact performance, not personality. The 4D-i® maps the thinking preferences of your team using an amazingly simple, colour-coded language for four dimensions of high performance thinking: creativity, understanding, decision making and resilience. This common language is the foundation for everything we do. It’s how we help teams collaborate better and innovate more. It’s also how we teach young people and leaders essential skills for success in work and beyond.
“The 4D-i is a quantum leap in reaching organizational potential and human relationship building. It shows you how to work smarter, not harder.”
- Pat Boon-Anderson
