Reading Background in Business:
A Visual Thinking Strategies® Inspired Program

See why a third grader and surgeons at The Harvard Medical School engage in an identical learning model of Visual Thinking Strategies® to  increase evidence based reasoning and observational skills-sets. Just as a physician "reads" the human body to make a diagnosis, in business we are tasked with "reading" products, services, teams, strategies, shifting environments and social interactions.

In 2004 The Harvard Medical School adapted Visual Thinking Strategies®  (a K -12 learning model also transforming user experience in 150 museums) with remarkable results for surgeons, nurses and med students: diagnostic skills markedly improved and team communication was enhanced. 

VTS introduces those new to visual thinking to this fascinating world impacting strategic design. Improve communication and team alignment for those already visually versed. 

This VTS inspired program for the business community is offered in partnership with Oren Slozberg, Executive Director of Visual Thinking Strategies®. 

Designful Assessment: Meaningful 360 Feedback

Learn an effective method for 360 feedback integrating appreciative and emotional intelligence. Give and receive authentic feedback within real world evaluative contexts of individual and team work, strategies, products and services.

Facts and opinions each have a place in optimizing outcomes. This integrity based program provides traction to team action.

A TUS7M Participant:

"Working under tight time constraints is not something I like to do.  However, the further I travel down this 7 minute path I learn that I can accomplish quite a lot, not matter how little time, energy or resources I have.

Play is a great way to foster a loose and comfortable atmosphere, one that allows and encourages the free exchange of ideas and thoughts.  It's a great icebreaker and can initiate instant bonds between individuals who may or may not communicate on a daily basis."
