We develop connected group intelligence
In today’s environment, teams and groups of all sizes face complex adaptive challenges - often in situations where the way forward is unclear, the stakes are high or trust is low. We enable groups to break through these challenges by learning to think, feel and act as a connected whole. Connected intelligence requires the capacity to move effectively through four consecutive phases of conversation: collective inquiry, relational dialogue, co-creation and collective action. We call this the head, heart, left hand and right hand of collective intelligence.
COLLECTIVE
INQUIRY
We facilitate collective inquiry. When groups make a genuine effort to explore their different perspectives on a situation, they arrive at a broader, shared understanding. This “full system sight” yields deep insights that can transform problem-solving
RELATIONAL
DIALOGUE
We create safe spaces for groups to surface & explore cross-boundary trust & collaboration issues productively. Our facilitators help to let go of the past, develop shared commitment to a common purpose & recontract around more effective ways of working together
CO-CREATION
& INNOVATION
Our approach fosters clarity, cohesion & commitment around a shared vision & the way forward together. By transforming how group members communicate & collaborate, we help them to co-create a truly compelling shared picture of success
COLLECTIVE
ACTION
We help communities & groups of all sizes to align on a clear and robust of action. We then enable members to self-organise around implementation. Over time, we embed behaviours, processes & practices that support continuous learning, adaptation & innovation
