Intro

About the CDT Approach

In a recent ManpowerGroup survey of 2,000 employers, over 50% of organisations listed problem-solving, collaboration, customer service, and communication as the most valued skills. Employers today are as likely to select candidates for their adaptability, culture fit, and growth potential as for in-demand technical skills.

In order to cope in more complex times, in a more connected world, we need more complex thinking in our leadership. A more dynamic approach to development. We use the latest psychology research to deliver Vertical Development!

I am giving a talk at the Association for Business Psychologists on Wednesday 13th. Click the button for more.

Workshops and More

What makes the difference in an organisation requiring high level, long-lasting decision making? It’s one’s cognitive capacity to make that decision. To see what is not seen and to join the dots others are not joining. Using a range of bespoke tools, we can show your high performing teams how to do this more effectively to ensure vertical development.

Ways to Vertical Development

We have a number of ways we interact with your teams and individuals to grow their thinking vertically. We have a unique way of determining your high flyers and establishing pathways to Vertical Development via CDT.

Constructed Development Theory

The philosophical and practical elements of CDT form the foundation for discussion and intervention initially. Consider our approach to be a more holistic one, incorporating the individual differences and how they impact the bigger system.

Dynamic Intelligence

Cognitive Intentions are shortcuts in our thinking that we have habituated over time. The relationship between them is key to our self-awareness as it determines how much of our thinking and responding is at choice. This process is called Dynamic Intelligence.

Thinking Quotient

The Thinking Quotient is the tool developed to measure your level of Dynamic Intelligence. It is unique in its output, and the most useful tool on the market to springboard Adult Development.

Developmental Dialogue

This approach takes Vertical Development beyond the over-worked remit of executive coaching or standard training programmes and instead offers the tools for increased complexity, which impacts individuals, teams, organisations and culture.

What Our Clients Say

A few choice words from those willing to share.

The whole premise of Constructed Development Theory is new, so let’s wait and see how it all pans out before we say just how great it is. It is good though.

Steve Brown

NHS Director

Doing a Thinking Quotient profile is about half an hour but the results are far superior to any psychometric tests I’ve tried before. I understand what Dr Darren is saying when he says psychometrics aren’t good enough in today’s complex world.

Tabatha...

How I construct my thinking has never been more important to me since my promotion. Dr Stevens has an approach to growing my complexity that is vital to my organisational progression.
