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.

SAGE UK ACCOUNTANTS: CULTURE CHANGE
The Challenge
New competition in a climate of accelerated technological development and recession needed to be faced; entrenched behaviours and processes prevented the organisation from being agile and moving with the times. The organisation needed to change its current mindset and create a new vision and strategy.
​
The Approach
Working in collaboration with Leap Partnership, Physical Intelligence techniques were used to facilitate profound insights into changes in behaviour and mindset to empower a change in attitudes.
Diagnosis revealed the need for greater risk taking, individual responsibility, and keeping the long and short term in mind. Strength, flexibility, resilience and endurance were all explored - showing how positive momentum is created in teams and organisations.
Past, present and future visions were represented in an artist drawn 'Rich Picture'. Using Physical Intelligence, the metaphors in the pictures were translated into real behaviours and a commitment to implement change.
The ROI
The company achieved double-digit growth and is the highest performing part of Sage UK. It is now on track with its 5 year strategy. The accountants division has become a risk taking community operating in a robust climate of trust.
