The Thought Code® suite of tools are a set of capability based profiling tools designed to uncover and map an individual's cognitive abilities.

We are an Australian based company, passionate about helping people, teams and companies to become more adaptable, agile and accountable. In this constantly ever-changing world, the ability to utilise individual and team capability strengths is critical for businesses seeking to remain relevant.

Our profiling tools focus on thought capability because it is a person's cognitive ability that enables them to carry out any task from the simplest to the most complex. By focusing on thought capability we can target development and hone strengths that have a direct and powerful impact on how a person makes decisions, solves problems, communicates, behaves, processes emotions, and manages conflict - in essence, how a person functions.

We are the only profiling tools in the market that links human capability to business capability. As a business grows and evolves it requires different human capability. A business in the start up phase requires very different thought capability to that of a more mature business.

Our profiling tools have the inbuilt intelligence to identify which capabilities are required by your business and available in your team giving you the strategic data you need to make smart, informed and targeted decisions around recruitment, development, talent and leadership.

Our suite of tools are designed for the modern world and ideal for transformational leaders seeking to implement an ambitious strategy requiring their team to have agile and adaptable thinking.
