Empowering Dyslexic Thinking in every workplace

Empower Dyslexic Thinking in every workplace

Dyslexic Thinking skills are valuable and vital. They are the ‘soft skills’ or ‘Power Skills’ every workplace is looking for, and AI cannot replicate, like creativity, adaptability, leadership, innovation, problem solving and critical thinking.

New research shows that AI is the perfect co-pilot for Dyslexic Thinking, and together they are the unstoppable force every workplace needs to drive their business forward. So NOW is the time to Empower Dyslexic Thinking – or risk being left behind.

Our Latest Report

Our new report in partnership with Randstad Enterprise, shows that there is a shocking gulf between what employers believe they know about Dyslexic Thinking, and the experiences of dyslexic employees, despite Dyslexic Thinking skills aligning with 2023 WEF’s most in demand skills.

What is Dyslexic Thinking?

Dyslexic Thinking is recognised in the dictionary as an innovative way to think. 1 in 5 are dyslexic and their thinking skills are vital to the workplace. Here is the entry in dictionary.com:

Research tells us Dyslexic Thinking is vital

Our 2018 report, Value of Dyslexia 1, found that Dyslexic Thinking skills match with the skills of the future (as identified by the World Economic Forum). While the skills dyslexics find challenging are in decline, according to the second Value of Dyslexia report. Our latest report, Dyslexic Dynamic, finds that the pandemic has sped up the process of automation and Dyslexic Thinking is vital for the workplace of today.

21st Century Definition of 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.
