EUROCLEAR:
TEAM INNOVATION
The Challenge
This executive team had the opportunity to be more than the sum of its parts – to make better use of its collective skills – to enhance innovation. In order to help foster creativity, the Chief Executive Officer identified the need to challenge the team’s traditional affiliative style and increase its comfort level with constructive dissent, viewing it positively.
​
The Approach
Physical Intelligence techniques were used to address collaboration and innovation and challenge silo’ed thinking/protectionism. Participants were introduced to posture and breathing techniques to achieve low cortisol and alert relaxation, essential for innovation and to develop the mental strength and clarity to manage their threat response in the midst of innovation – linking their mindset to physicality. They learned what types of movements support convergent vs. divergent thinking and how to relax their minds to foster creative connections. As a team, they collaborated on an exercise designed to promote divergent thinking and constructive dissent and learned how to counteract negative bias. They also learned the importance of networks and social intelligence as opposed to silo’ed thinking to create an environment that fosters the ongoing exchange of ideas.
​
The Physical Intelligence group session was followed by one-on-one coaching on the use of physical intelligence techniques to reinforce the core concepts introduced during the group session and provide individual support tailored to each team member.
​
The ROI
Within only weeks of the training, it was clear that the team was working together better and interacting in a more effective way. Each individual’s performance and level of confidence had clearly improved. Within months, operating results had increased, feedback from clients had improved, and the team had received excellent feedback from regulators. In addition, because executive team members were more empowered, they, in turn, more effectively empowered their teams, freeing up more time for the executive team to work on strategic planning vs. tactics. As new individuals have joined the team, they have recognized and commented positively on the open collaboration and constructive approach the team takes and its comfort level with challenging each other’s thinking. On a personal level, the physical intelligence training had also positively impacted the personal life for many team members, enabling them to more effectively manage their professional and personal lives.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Companies in Motion have worked with my Leadership Team through an intense period of change and transition to a new organisational design. Their work has positively impacted us as leaders and the way change was felt throughout a global team of around 700 people, leading to the successful implementation of the new organisation.
Physical Intelligence has given us a new approach to ourselves as leaders; strengthening our ability to handle uncertainty, to communicate with empathy, to visualise and stay true to the end goal when, at times, it has felt hard to achieve. The learning about ourselves is deep, but the techniques are simple, memorable and easy to adopt. Working with Claire and Kevin is both energising and thoughtful, we have created drive and found time for rejuvenation. As leaders we are now focused on the direction of the new organisation and the Physical Intelligence approach is allowing us to identify our motivation, prioritise goals and engage our people with trust and conviction. I've seen both my team and myself grow in the months we've been working with Claire and Kevin and see this as a foundation for us moving forwards."
Catherine Hall, GM T&S Business Integration & Assurance, Commercial operations, Shell Trading
"We have been working with Claire and Pat for four years now, levering Physical Intelligence to make a step change in powerful communication and business partnership in our technical communities. The program they developed for us is truly transformational. Every delegate – along with their managers - talks about the positive impact the content and practise has had on their performance, immediately and sustainably. We have had a number of delegates promoted or given high profile communication opportunities that can be directly attributable to Physical Intelligence and senior leaders are now championing the course as they visibly see the return on investment. It is seen as a critical and permanent part of our Technical Leadership curriculum."
Senior Manager, Corporate University, Leading FMCG Company

"The Physical Intelligence approach using creativity and movement was fantastic for illustrating concepts such as resistance, shared leadership and barriers to real communication without having to labour through presentations. Somehow this gets much quicker to real, embodied learning than many of the conventional workshops."
Capital One
"It pushed my boundaries, used unique techniques (at least to me) and has left me with much to think about and several things to do."
Natural England
"The benefits were evident in unleashing energy for change. Physical Intelligence is a product that totally removes the boundaries associated with traditional development processes."

Feedback says it all « Fantastic, superb design, you nailed it ». What an amazing transformation from the nervous and stiff presenter hiding behind slides which I once was. Thank you and please keep on teaching!"

"Some of the most stimulating and innovative approaches to embedding leadership skills that I have ever seen."
Tim Nightingale, CEO, Somerset Leisure Ltd
"For a team the beginning is an important part of the journey, otherwise people don't believe in it. The preparation and facilitation provided by CIM was invaluable. the team were very quickly willing to open up to new perspectives. Because the learning is physical it lasts - you can replay the memory and the moment and reuse it."
Dr. Stefanie Teichmann, Group Strategy Director, Coca Cola
"Really great coaching, authoritative and direct."
Jonathan Burney, Head of Regional Advocacy and Partnerships Team, Natural England
