Empower Dyslexic Thinking in the Workplace

The intelligence the world needs is changing

As our new Intelligence 5.0 report finds, AI has learned to aggregate and recall knowledge faster and better than humans, making the skills that AI cannot easily replicate like problem solving, innovation, lateral thinking and interpersonal skills the most sought-after skills in EVERY job, in EVERY sector, worldwide. These are Dyslexic Thinking skills.

That’s why it’s vital to empower Dyslexic Thinking in every organisation.

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia influences as many as 1 in 5 people and is a genetic difference in an individual’s ability to learn and process information. As a result, dyslexic individuals have differing abilities, with strengths in creative, problem-solving and communication skills and challenges with spelling, reading and memorising facts.

Generally, a dyslexic cognitive profile will be uneven when compared to a neurotypical cognitive profile. This means that dyslexic individuals really do think differently. Traditional benchmarking disadvantages dyslexics, measuring them against the very things they find challenging.
