IBM’s award winning manufacturing plant in Toronto, for instance, had all 1,000 people go through the course to improve personal effectiveness. One-to-One Relationships: Polaroid is using the Rhodes' TIP as part of a one-to-one coaching initiative with their high performers. Team and Meeting Productivity: The Rhodes’ TIP Profile brings to light the cognitive style diversity within teams, and points out the range of thinking styles available. It aids in identifying critically missing thinking styles, and team members recognize and capitalize on the diversity and strength of the others in the team. Astra USA, for one example, used SmartSkills as the operating framework for a two-day multi-stakeholder team planning session with 25 representatives from ten countries. Task Analysis: Quality thinking is at the root of every effective quality process, and knowledge of cognitive styles can be used as a framework for quality assuring the thinking in any work flow process. With SmartSkills employed as the task analysis platform for cross-functional teams, the City of Etobicoke restructured the delivery of quality customer service while facing a major downsizing. Organizational Applications: Shell Canada is using SmartSkills as a common platform in leadership development, team training and in improving the quality of problem- solving. With an internal team of SmartSkills trainers, Shell has integrated the system in a wide variety of settings across the corporation.

- Judgmental thinking is represented by the color blue. This form of thinking is used to make up one's mind about what to do, to form an opinion, or to make a decision. The focus of blue thinking is on practical, action-oriented decision-making. Descriptive thinking is represented by the color red. When in red you are seeking the truth. You want data and facts. The red form of thinking is analytical, focusing on information through sorting, classifying, categorizing, and organizing. Creative thinking is represented by the color green. Ingenuity, ideas, imagination, and intuition all characterize green thinking. When in green you like to be on the cutting edge of what’s new. Green thinking is divergent, generating many ideas and options.
