THE MORE YOU USE AI TO THINK...

THE LESS YOU CAN THINK WITHOUT IT.

AI dependency is your biggest threat. Not AI...your dependence on it.

You were never taught how to think. Only told to think. That's exactly what AI is counting on.

Brain-centric develops the thinking skills employers rank #1 - analytical, evaluative, creative - the ones AI can't replicate and you were never taught.

These aren't soft skills. They're survival skills.

WHAT'S YOUR CHALLENGE?

"I Need to Prove ROI or Lose My Budget"

L&D DIRECTORS & TRAINING LEADERS

  • Your CFO wants measurable results, not completion rates

  • You've tried everything: microlearning, gamification, AI-powered content

  • People leave training informed but not sharper, and it shows

  • You keep spending, but your people still can't think through problems without hand-holding

What You Need: A methodology that develops measurable thinking skills—the analytical and evaluative abilities that show up in decisions, not just assessments. ROI in 90 days, not "eventually."

"I'm Getting Replaced by People Who Think Faster"

FOR INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONALS

  • You ask AI before you try thinking it through yourself

  • Your analysis used to be sharp—now it feels slower, less certain

  • The skills employers actually want - analytical, evaluative, creative - were never explicitly taught to you

  • And the people learning them now are your competition

What You Need: The higher-order thinking skills that AI cannot replicate—and that 78% of employers say graduates lack. These aren't personality traits. They're learnable. We teach them.

"My Team Can't Think Through Problems"

FOR CULTURE &
C-SUITE

  • The people supposed to be analyzing problems are waiting for instructions

  • Your leaders know what to do, but can't evaluate trade-offs or adapt when things shift

  • Competitors are moving faster because their people think faster

  • Strategic initiatives stall because nobody can reason through the objections

What You Need: A systematic approach to developing the thinking skills that drive business outcomes—analytical reasoning, evaluative judgment, adaptive problem-solving. The same framework used by Nike, Microsoft, and the DOD.

WHY BEING RIGHT ISN'T ENOUGH

Every time someone uses AI to do thinking they could do themselves, their capacity for analysis, evaluation, and creative problem-solving atrophies. Like a muscle you stop using. It's so gradual that nobody notices...until the day someone needs to make a real decision and realizes they can't reason through it without help.

  • Analytical thinking is the #1 skill employers want—70% call it essential (WEF 2025)

  • 78% of executives say critical thinking is THE most important skill—only 34% of hires have it

  • The people who can analyze, evaluate, and create will be the ones who lead

You Can't AI Your Way Out of This.

You need to develop the thinking skills AI can't replicate.

QUESTIONS YOU ASK

WHAT MAKES BRAIN-CENTRIC DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CRITICAL THINKING TRAINING?

Brain-centric Design develops measurable thinking skills (analytical reasoning, evaluative judgment, adaptive problem-solving) through neuroscience-based frameworks validated at Fortune 100 scale. Unlike other training that lectures about thinking, Brain-centric builds cognitive architecture that makes analysis automatic, delivering $4 ROI per $1 invested within 90 days.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER 'CRITICAL THINKING' OR 'SOFT SKILLS' TRAINING?

The Honest Answer: Most "critical thinking" training tells you thinking is important without teaching you how to actually do it. They lecture about analysis without building the cognitive architecture that makes analysis automatic.

Brain-centric Design was co-created with cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Kieran O'Mahony and validated at Fortune 100 scale. Every framework - Nested Egg, Challenge Wheel, Greenhousing, Cognitive Glide Path - is engineered to develop specific thinking skills: analytical reasoning, evaluative judgment, adaptive problem-solving. Not buzzwords. Measurable capability.

The Proof: Nike didn't reduce training time 40% with repackaged behavioral training. They got measurable results because the methodology works with brain biology.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SHARPER?

Sharper means faster to insight with less information. It's the difference between someone who needs three meetings to understand a problem and someone who sees it in the first five minutes.

Brain-centric Design develops three thinking capacities employers rank highest: analytical thinking (breaking problems into components), evaluative thinking (judging quality and trade-offs), and creative thinking (generating novel solutions). These aren't abstract—they show up in decisions, recommendations, and results.

WHY WOULD THIS WORK WHEN MICROLEARNING/GAMIFICATION DIDN'T?

The Honest Answer: Those approaches optimize delivery format (shorter, more engaging, more convenient). Brain-centric Design optimizes the development of thinking - how analytical and evaluative skills are built and transferred to real decisions.

The Analogy: It's like optimizing the packaging while ignoring what's inside. You can make training shorter and more engaging, but if it doesn't build genuine thinking capability, it won't transfer to the job.

88% of training fails not because it's too long or boring...it fails because it doesn't align with how the brain learns.

WHAT'S THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION?

For Organizations:

→ 90-Day Pilot: Initial 2-week setup, then 8-12 weeks delivery, final 2 weeks measurement

→ Typical time per participant: 40-60% LESS than current training for same competence level

For Individuals:

→ Basics Workshop: 2 days (4 hours each)

→ BcID Certification: 13-14 weeks (28 sessions, fits around full-time work)

The ROI on Time: You spend less time training and get better results. Nike reduced training time 40% while improving outcomes.

HOW DO WE MEASURE ROI?

The Framework: We establish baseline metrics before implementation:

→ Current time to competence

→ Current retention/attrition rates

→ Current performance scores

→ Current training costs per employee

→ Then measure identical metrics at 30, 60, and 90 days post-implementation.

What Nike Measured:

→ Training time reduction (40%)

→ Attrition reduction (substantial, zero in some divisions)

→ Customer satisfaction score improvement

→ Cost per trained employee

Your Metrics: We customize to what your CFO already measures. If you can't measure it, we help you build the framework.

WHAT IF WE TRY IT AND OUR CULTURE DOESN'T ADOPT IT?

The Honest Answer: This is the most common fear, and it's based on experience with other methodologies that require cultural buy-in before they work.

Brain-centric Design is different: It works with brain biology, which is universal. Your culture doesn't need to change for brains to prefer psychological safety over stress. For neural pathways to fire together and wire together. For the Cognitive Glide Path to prepare minds for adoption.

The Proof: It works across wildly different cultures—Nike Consumer Services, Department of Defense, Western Europe operations, 20+ countries. The brain's processing mechanisms don't change based on organizational culture.

WE DON'T HAVE BUDGET FOR TRAINING RIGHT NOW.

The Reframe: You're spending your training budget right now...but it's not returning anything measurable.

The Math: Average large company training expenditure: $16.1 million annually
Average ROI from traditional training: Unmeasurable


What you're actually spending: $16.1 million, with no proof it works

Brain-centric Design: $4 returned per $1 invested within 90 days.

The Real Question: Can you afford to keep spending millions with no measurable return? Or invest a fraction of that budget in methodology with guaranteed ROI?

Start Small: 90-Day Pilot with 10-50 people proves ROI before full commitment.

HOW DO I GET EXECUTIVE BUY-IN?

We'll Help: We provide executive briefing materials including:

ROI calculator showing current waste vs. projected savings

Nike case study with Fortune 100-level metrics

White paper: "The $2.4M Cost of Training That Doesn't Transfer"

Comparison analysis: BcD vs. your current approach

Schedule Executive Consultation →

We've done this hundreds of times. We know what CFOs, CHROs, and CEOs need to see.

This isn't a one-time workshop. It's a methodology you'll use for your entire career.

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THIS OVER CIALDINI, DALE CARNEGIE, OR NEUROLEADERSHIP INSTITUTE?

The Honest Answer: You shouldn't choose us "over" them—Brain-centric Design addresses a different problem.

Cialdini teaches what makes people say yes (behavioral persuasion during conversations).
Brain-centric Design develops the thinking skills that make your ideas worth saying yes to—and teaches you how to present them so adoption feels voluntary.

Dale Carnegie teaches timeless people skills (relationship-building).
Brain-centric adds the neuroscience to explain "why it works" and deliver measurable ROI.

NeuroLeadership Institute pioneered neuroscience in leadership (first-mover advantage).
Brain-centric focuses specifically on developing the higher-order thinking skills that drive leadership outcomes - with Fortune 100-validated ROI.

The Real Difference: $4:$1 ROI in 90 days.


THE THINKING SKILLS YOU NEED. THE ROI YOU DEMAND.

YOU HAVE THREE CHOICES:

Choice 1: Keep using training methods that teach people ABOUT thinking without making them better thinkers. Watch capabilities stagnate. Continue defending your budget with no measurable ROI.

Choice 2: Try another "innovative" approach—microlearning, gamification, AI-powered content. Get marginally better engagement but the same inability to think through problems. Still no proof it works.

Choice 3: Implement the only methodology that develops the thinking skills employers rank #1—analytical, evaluative, creative—with Fortune 100-validated ROI. $4 returned per $1 invested within 90 days.

Which choice protects your budget? Your reputation? Your career?
