How much people have learned to think 'better' is, in general, hard to assess. Easier to measure is the adoption and usage of specific Effective Intelligence tools that are seen and shared. When success is achieved by using these tools it helps embed the skill of intelligent and effective questioning so that it is learned for good. The best evidence of this has been where individuals develop a reputation for shrewd questions that get the task done more efficiently. This affects 'the way we do things here', especially as more and more colleagues adopt the same language for difficult thinking tasks.

Using the Effective Intelligence language for thought has clarified issues and the values that drive them, revealing positions for what they are and opening out wider options because of the way information has to be treated. More constructive attitudes to competing and collaborating are fostered with a focus on the task being shared. The first condition for effective leadership is to speak the same language with those being led. When learning is seen as what leaders do, productivity has gone up, with fewer resources.

Here are Seven Fields of Change where organisations have achieved successes, enabled and accelerated by Effective Intelligence. Any company using Effective Intelligence for Organisation Development (OD) will span more than one of these over-lapping areas.

1.  Innovation Projects and methodology
2.  Creative problem-solving
3.  Change Management in leadership and culture
4.  Decision making and strategy formation
5.  Strategic Thinking for Knowledge Management
6.  Motivation, influencing and selling ideas
7.  Communication, collaboration and team-working
