1. Sensing:
• Use all your senses- see, taste, smell, touch,
hear, think, speak.
• Be a good observer of people, nature, and
events around you.
2. Thinking:
• Change your interpretation of an event, situation,
behaviour, person, or object.
• Allow ideas to incubate.
• Explain how your ideas move beyond the status quo and
contribute to a discussion.
5. Drawing:
• Use mind mapping to capture ideas: start with a key
concept and write it in the centre of your page; use
connecting lines, radiating from the central concept,
and write down any connected or related ideas that
come up.
• Create picture or drawing of situations to show them
in a different way.
6. Learning:
• Find ways to demonstrate your personal
investment in projects
• Gather knowledge and conduct research.
William Herrmann.
Using brain research developed by others and his own studies,
Herrmann discovered that there were four patterns that
emerged in terms of how the brain perceives and processes
information. The Whole Brain Thinking is a methodology
designed to help thinkers, teams and organizations better
benefit from all of the thinking available to them.
