Team Assessment

Discover New Paths to Problem Solving

We use the Foursight Creative Thinking Preferences assessment to help individuals and teams understand their preferred approach to solving complex problems, identify gaps and find new ways to collaborate. Individuals gain self-awareness of their preference while the team build strategies for overcoming gaps and 'groupthink' around the way they solve problems.

Case Study: Creating Community from a brain-science lens

The Center for Brain Health at the University of Texas needed a speaker to kick off their first virtual "Sips and Science" program during the pandemic. The topic needed to connect to their mission around brain health and the delivery needed to welcome their loyal audience into the world of virtual events while maintaining the intimacy of their popular live experiences. Fairplay's Andy Eninger created a 45-minute keynote focusing on the science of community, how it affects the brain and what we can do to bolster community in the early days of 'stay at home.'
