Quick insight: Effective meetings
Theory: Meetings require an investment in time, money and engagement. The next time you want to schedule a meeting, should you really do it?
Behavior Patterns: Many of us schedule meetings out of habit as it has been considered a safe way for spreading information and solving problems.
Clinic CICS method: Independent from your intentions, pause and think before you set up a physical meeting: - How much available time do all the stakeholders have? - How crucial is reading body language and facial expressions? - How urgent is your need for responses? Given other possibilities available, is scheduling a meeting the most appropriate way forward?
Quick insight: Effective meetings
Reflection: When increased numbers of employees start to think about these questions, more of their time should be made available for other tasks and information become less individually exclusive. Meetings that still are being schedule should see less number of participants and those present experience higher meeting efficiency.
Quick case: Next generation workplace
Problem: Scattered knowledge, outdated hardware and incompatible systems
Solution: Enabled a strategic foundation for a next generation workplace
Result: View of capabilities and a long-term plan, vision and business case support

Together, organizations and teams innovate
Inflexibility stagnates growth, but poor control erodes value. Innovation thrives when intelligent action occurs between interlinked groups.
“The innovation process puts pressure on team and organizational ecosystems, but with Collective Intelligence, behaviors can leverage reflection and inform tangible outcomes.”
Pierre Jarméus
A REFLECTION: Innovating is a difficult and sometimes chaotic endeavor helped by developing true teamwork. However, just as important is how the organization continuously learns and enables innovation success.

Manage the unpredictable
Project failure rates are often high and costly. This is commonly handled with more structure. Instead, increasing teams task understanding and collaboration skills will ensure execution when things don’t go as planned.
“Successful execution is more than following a plan. It is delivering value through great teams. Dynamic collaboration reduces the need for more structure.”
August Maniette
A REFLECTION: Project management is more than delivering on time, budget and scope. It is leveraging team core competencies so people have a shared purpose and dare to think outside the box with open and honest dialogue.

Culture defines success
Culture is all employees' choices and actions, it is not soft and fluffy. It enables change and drives the vast majority of business KPIs
“Knowledge of Collective Intelligence provides individuals and businesses with powerful tools to develop a sustainable, reflective, high preforming culture.”
Sanna Feldt
A REFLECTION: Trust is the magic key to a Collective Intelligent culture where co-workers have faith in their own and others’ knowledge and can unleash this potential to sustain high performance within teams.
Service design is creating change from the outside in
The idea is simple yet radical. To step out the door of our organisations and into the lives of the people for whom we exist. There, outside the window, we get to understand peoples behaviors and needs, dreams and desires in order to design for smart and sustainable change.
“Understanding the user and our employees that serve them, help us make informed decisions, prioritize our efforts and design solutions we know they will use and love.”
Anna Simon
A REFLECTION: Not knowing what you need to do is the perfect beginning for the design process. It help us discover the right problem and to solve it the right way.
