"Our firm works with some of the largest B2B
producers in the world and we are constantly finding KAI theory to be of
immense value. I have found this to be one of those happy—if rare—occurrences
in which superbly-grounded theory meets practical application… and makes a
significant contribution to the latter. The product development teams we train
and coach are able to substantially improve their dealings with both
team-mates and customers as a result of KAI theory."
Dan Adams, President, Advanced Industrial Marketing, Inc.
"[KAI is] An essential tool for Executive Team decision making",

tool is paying off in improved productivity for P & G"

"When you’re in the business of organisational transformation, the
ability to cultivate creative thinking and approaches to change are
essential…..The KAI, a facile instrument that helps change agents assess
their approaches towards truly transforming
organisations, should be a part
of every change agent’s tool kit"
Dr. Celeste Coruzzi, Director, PriceWaterhouseCoopers
"Be willing to be dazzled by A-I theory as it gets you to the
roots of how styles of problem-solving, decision-making and creativity can be
different. It opens up wide ranging implications for workplace productivity.
The course serves the best interests of those who realise that it takes hard
work to achieve discriminating insights into the human faculty of cognition."

“KAI is well received by my clients, who I advise on change management, team building, problem solving and decision making processes. It is an amazing tool which helps to facilitate self-exploration and relationship building”

“Dr. Kirton is one of the finest teachers I have ever had… I have found his A-I Theory to be extremely valuable as a method for gaining insight into the productive use of teams. The Theory also has numerous practical implications that are useful to business leaders and academicians alike”
Dr. Stewart Tubbs, Dean, College of Business, Eastern Michigan University
"Working
with the KAI has added to my value as
a coach and an OD professional. I use
the KAI to provide a picture of an
individual's value to an organization.
My coaching focuses on how best to use
a person's talents to achieve the
strategic priorities of the
organization. The KAI has influenced
executives to spend ample time
assigning projects/positions to those
whose strengths will be an asset in
achieving the stated objectives. The
KAI has prompted some executives to
admit to themselves that they were
"coping" in positions that
were "uncomfortable" from
the start because the positions did
not allow them to work at tasks where
they could shine...in fact, work at
tasks that they did not loathe!"
Mrs. Bernadette Snider, President,
The Leadership Choice Group Inc.
"I believe that Dr. Kirton has developed a wonderful tool which we have found to be very useful versus any I’ve seen out there.
It’s easy for the client to grasp and apply and it is the least threatening of any I’ve seen used"
Dr Bill Keeter, Creative Advantage Alliance.
