Introduction to Foursight: What it is and how it works

Backed by research and built for scale, FourSight is a collaborative problem solving system that helps teams work better together to achieve better results.

Sometimes, even good teams get stuck
Our research shows that it takes four types of thinking to solve a problem. Teams that use all types of thinking when problem solving achieve better business results, but our preferences for certain types of thinking can get in the way.

Grounded in the science of good thinking
FourSight was founded by two PhD’s who are experts in the science of critical and creative thinking. The FourSight theory and problem-solving framework have been validated by more than two dozen published academic studies, conducted by FourSight team members as well as independent researchers around the globe.

Using the power of creative problem solving to build better teams

Foursight develops research-based, collaborative problem solving tools and trainings to help individuals, teams and organizations solve complex problems more effectively. Their products, which draw from more than 65 years of research into critical and creative thinking, are enhanced by their own research in thinking preferences.

Foursight’s goal is to make the profound cognitive insights that underly the FourSight system easy to teach, learn and apply.

Organizations that use FourSight get better performance and happier teams:

Increase team effectiveness
Independent researchers found teams with FourSight perform better over time in problem solving, innovation, and collaboration.

Reduce conflict
By helping teams understand their thinking preferences and how to work better together, FourSight helps teams reduce the interpersonal friction that can get in the way of performance.

Boost engagement
People gain confidence when they see how they naturally contribute to the team. They also get tools to stay engaged in areas of low preference.

Empower diverse thinkers
FourSight teaches people to value rather than avoid people who think differently. Training helps teams learn to leverage differences for better business results.
