Want 50 Extra IQ Points???
How to Improve Both Strategy and Effectiveness from the Right Side of Your Brain  

Kampas Research helps clients enhance both strategy and effectiveness through the use of a powerful systems thinking/design approach we call Visual-Integrative Thinking (VIT). Using visual framing to unleash the vast but vastly underutilized genius of the right brain (visual intelligence), VIT elevates individual and group thinking/acting in 4 steps: 

1. Sharpen    Sight!          See all the pieces as a whole system -- gain perspective
2. Deepen     Insight!        Understand system behavior, causes -- make sense of...
3. Catalyze   Foresight!    Envision opportunities and pitfalls -- see the way forward
4. Create      Impact!        Design, develop, deliver a solution -- enhance performance

 Internalizing VIT's visual frames into mental models, your right brain becomes far more capable of seeing patterns and connections, diagnosing problems, and enhancing designs -- 50 IQ points more capable according to technology visionary Alan Kay: "Perspective is worth 50 IQ points." And the Return On Investment (ROI) is outstanding because you already own the valuable resource (the "cognitive capital") but just haven't been putting it to use!

 Developed and proven over years of application, VIT has been featured in articles in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, IEEE Engineering Management Review, the book DEC Is Dead, Long Live DEC, as well as in numerous conference presentations (most recently in Austin TX at OD Network Conference 2008)

  "I worked with Paul on the book "DEC Is Dead, Long Live DEC." His graphical models 
  are very powerful and clear, and his argument for taking strategy to a total system 
  level is highly relevant to today's managers and leaders."  
        Edgar H. Schein -- Professor Emeritus, MIT Sloan School of Management.
 

  "Your book Mastering Organizational Architecture is wonderful, and has served as the core 
  reference for development of SHA's new organizational architecture. It is transforming."  
            Charles Head -- President & Principal, Sanborn, Head & Associates
