Discover your problem-solving superpower!
About the Program
What is your role in the innovation process? The “FourSight Mindset Reveal” is a workshop that dives deep into the way people solve problems together. This engaging workshop helps people learn more about their own mindset, learn appreciation for how colleagues work, and together be able to create a stronger team environment and reach more creative solutions.
Grounded in research, FourSight teaches the four stages of the universal creative process and reveals people’s unique thinking preferences for clarifying, ideating, developing, and implementing.
Starting Spring 2023, registration will be open to OSU faculty and staff on a quarterly basis, and also available upon request to OSU teams of 12+.

Workshop Information
Creativity is an essential skill that is innate in all of us – but each of us will approach a challenge differently. Do you know what your problem-solving preferences are, or how to leverage the thinking styles of others? The goal of this workshop is to help you discover your thinking preferences and reflect on how to leverage them to overcome barriers and increase successful collaboration.
Prior to the workshop, you will complete an online self-assessment. During the class, you will receive a report that reveals where you gain and lose energy in during the innovation process, and learn how different thinking styles approach unique challenges. Hands-on activities promote insights that help you anticipate strengths and blind spots when you collaborate with others. Learn where you can leverage your team's natural strengths and create the environment necessary for innovation and creativity!
