🔔 Coming Soon
The updated HBDI® Learning Journey will be rolling out shortly. No action is required on your part — this article is intended to prepare you for questions you may receive from Thinkers and to highlight what's new.
We're updating the HBDI® Learning Journey to deliver a more streamlined, engaging experience for Thinkers. The core content and depth of insight remain intact — we've focused on removing repetition, improving flow, and making the overall experience more engaging and efficient.
What's Changing
The updated journey is meaningfully more efficient without sacrificing the substance that makes the HBDI® experience valuable:
Key improvements include:
- Approximately 30% fewer screens — repetitive content consolidated and redundant sections removed
- Journal entries replaced with focused profile customization prompts that feed into a new "About Me" profile — a personalized summary Thinkers can use to communicate their thinking preferences
- More interactive, dynamic elements in place of passive click-through navigation
What's Not Changing
The core learning outcomes Thinkers receive remain the same. The updated journey still covers:
- Exploring their HBDI® profile and what their thinking preferences mean in practice
- Understanding how pressure affects their thinking
- Deepening insight through Clusters and Modes
- Identifying Watchouts — areas they may naturally overlook
- Building a personalized "About Me" profile to articulate their thinking preferences
- Applying Whole Brain® Thinking to real-world collaboration and communication
💡 Good to Know for Your Debriefs
The substance of what Thinkers learn hasn't changed — your debrief conversations, materials, and facilitation approach remain fully relevant to the updated experience.
Common Questions You May Receive
❓ Will my Thinkers' progress or profile data be affected?
No. All existing HBDI® results, profile data, and previous completions are fully preserved. The update is to the journey experience only.
❓ Will there be any interruptions or downtime?
No. The transition is seamless. Thinkers will simply see the updated journey the next time they log in — there is no interruption to access or availability.
❓ Do I need to re-invite my Thinkers?
No. Existing invitations remain valid. There is nothing you need to resend, recreate, or reconfigure.
❓ Do Thinkers who already completed the journey need to redo it?
No. Completion status is preserved. Thinkers who have already finished the journey are not required to retake it — though they're welcome to explore the updated experience if they choose.
❓ What about Thinkers who are mid-journey when the update goes live?
Thinkers who are partway through will continue without disruption. Their progress is not reset by the update.
ℹ️ No Action Required: This update is automatic and applies globally. You don't need to take any steps in your account — your invitations, Thinker data, and settings are all unaffected.
