OUR CLIENTS INCLUDE:
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 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.

Yes, the OneSmartWorld 4D-i® psychometric instrument is both reliable and valid . The psychometric instrument was developed and tested by a team of leading Canadian organizational psychologists under the direction of Bob Wiele, founder, and President of OneSmartWorld. The 4D-i® is the first psychometric instrument ever to be approved by Canada’s Scientific Research and Development program. It meets the requirements of test-retest reliability as well as face and concept validity. Reliability means that if you were to take the questionnaire again with three months your results will be likely very similar.
It takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete the instrument. You can access all your interactive results and resources as soon as you have completed the questionnaire, 24x7, with no expiry date.
The OneSmartWorld 4D-i® instrument assesses your preferences for using four core dimensions, different mindsets, and strategies of high-performance thinking – creativity, understanding, decision-making and personal spirit. The instrument and toolkit are all designed to help you improve your performance anytime you need to think things through, solve a problem or work in a team. The OneSmartWorld 4D-i® instrument contains two sections. The first section asks you to identify your thinking strategy preferences in 45 sets of two paired choice statements. The second section asks you to rate your level of agreement with a set of 24 self-descriptor statements. The OneSmartWorld 4D-i® assess your preferences – what motivates you – not your competency or skill. It is designed to help you understand the mindsets and thinking strategies you like to use and pinpoint which ones to develop that will take your performance and success to the next level.

Most people only ever do the instrument one time. They use is as a toolkit to work smarter by shifting mindsets to meet different needs and challenges and do the right thinking at the right time. Anyone can choose to do it again to see if it reflects any changes in preferences. We recommend anyone wait a minimum of three to four months, before choosing to purchase and do the OneSmartWorld 4D-i® again. From our test-retest research, people’s results don’t usually change in the short term. If you are purposely working on upskilling your thinking skills or have changed job, your results may show a change over the longer term.
We recommend you use your OneSmartWorld 4D-i® results as a personal launch pad for success – to invest in knowing more about yourself and to grow your skills for future success. The key point to remember is to use your OSW 4D-i® toolkit to expand your skills in using all the different mindsets effectively so you can be more adaptable when things change.
