We develop collective group intelligence
In today’s environment, teams and groups of all sizes face complex 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 together by learning to think, feel and act as a connected whole. We do this by developing four collective capabilities, which we call the head, the heart, the left hand and the right hand of collective intelligence.
COLLECTIVE
INQUIRY
We facilitate collective inquiry. When groups make a genuine effort to explore their differences , they arrive at a broader, shared understanding of the situation. This “full system sight” develops a shared awareness that transforms the effectiveness of collective problem-solving
CONNECTED
DIALOGUE
We create safe spaces for groups to tackle cross-boundary trust & collaboration issues productively. We resolve stuck situations by fostering connection & trust, enabling groups to let go of the past, commit to their common purpose & recontract around new ways of working together
COLLECTIVE INNOVATION
Our approach develops inspiration, commitment & clarity around common vision. By transforming how people communicate & collaborate, we develop the capacity for connected intelligence. This creates the conditions for collective inovation and breakthrough to emerge
COLLECTIVE
ACTION
We help communities & groups of all sizes to align on a clear and robust of action. We then enable groups to self-organise around implementation & adaptation. Over time, we embed behaviours, processes & practices that support continuous learning, adaptation & innovation
