CENTENNIAL, CO, March 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Organizations around the world are increasingly focused on improving collaboration, communication and team performance as workplace complexity continues to grow. Many leaders are recognizing that stronger results often depend not just on skills or strategy, but on how well people understand themselves and work with others. For more than three decades, Emergenetics International has helped organizations address these challenges through research-based assessment tools and professional development programs designed to strengthen teamwork, leadership and workplace communication.
Emergenetics International, a global organizational development firm founded in 1991, helps organizations improve team performance, communication and collaboration through research-based psychometric assessments and professional development programs. Used by organizations, consultants and educators in nearly 30 countries, the Emergenetics Profile Assessment measures seven thinking and behavioral attributes that influence how individuals communicate, collaborate and solve problems. Organizations apply these insights through facilitated workshops and leadership development programs designed to strengthen teamwork, innovation and workplace culture.

Why Teams Struggle, Even With Talented People
Many organizations invest heavily in talent, technology and strategy. Yet teams often struggle with miscommunication, friction and slow decision-making.
Leadership experts increasingly recognize that these challenges often stem from differences in how people think, communicate and approach problems. When teams do not understand those differences, collaboration becomes harder and workplace performance suffers.
The Emergenetics framework helps organizations address this challenge by giving individuals and teams a clearer understanding of their thinking and behavioral preferences.
Research on team effectiveness supports this approach. Studies published by Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review show that teams with diverse thinking styles often produce better decisions and more innovative solutions than groups with uniform perspectives.

Thinking Attributes
• Analytical
• Structural

Behavioral Attributes

These attributes help individuals understand their natural thinking preferences while helping teams recognize how cognitive diversity can improve communication, collaboration and decision-making.
