But $3.2 Trillion Dollars remains untapped, because only 30% of dyslexic thinkers are empowered at work 

Our new report finds Dyslexic Thinking is worth: 

• $4.5 Trillion Dollars to the global economy 
• $652 Billion Dollars to the US economy 
• £98.2 Billion Pounds to the UK economy 

But economies are missing out, because dyslexic thinkers – who have the skills to drive growth and innovation – are not fully empowered at work.

This report outlines – for the first time – the financial imperative to empower Dyslexic Thinking. And poses the $Trillion Dollar Question can we afford not to empower Dyslexic Thinking? 

Every organisation can learn how to empower Dyslexic Thinking for free with our new Workplace Guide and our free training below.

Now this report underlines the financial value of Dyslexic Thinking – by showing the skills dyslexics have are the human skills needed to pair with AI to drive growth and progress.
