Emergenetics
Developed through years of psychometric research, the Emergenetics® Profile distinctively measures how you think and behave. It is the next evolution of tools available to organisations, teams and individuals who might be familiar with traditional profiling methods.

De Bono Six Thinking Hats
Six Thinking Hats is a simple, effective parallel thinking process that helps people be more productive, focused, and mindfully involved. A powerful tool set, which once learned can be applied immediately!
Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats technique is an extremely useful way to debate an issue, solve a problem or to arrive at an important decision. The technique encourages a group to approach the issue at hand from all possible angles.
About the technique
During a meeting it is often the case that people use different thinking processes, which can make it difficult for a meaningful discussion to take place. For example, if someone wants to put forward a new idea when someone else is still thinking about the practicalities of the last idea, they will not listen properly to each other. To resolve this situation, de Bono suggests that everyone thinks about the same issues at the same time, from the same perspective by putting on six different metaphorical hats.
