The Leap AICE Team Development Programme TM builds teams that are: Aligned (strategically, behaviourally); Inter-dependent (collaborative); Confident (robust under duress) and Efficient (fast and effective in all they do). AICE teams produce extraordinary results. Evidence from our own research has linked optimum team performance to high scores across the 4 AICE dimensions. We use the AICE diagnostic as a key part of an overall data collection process. As well as providing useful bench mark data – this data enables us to identify with confidence, the complex combinations of process, structural and people issues that combine to create the more obvious team performance symptoms.

Our in depth analysis then enables to design the appropriate interventions to unblock team potential. Unlike more typical team building approaches like ‘outdoor activities’, ‘class room games’ or ‘psychometrics’ we prioritise valuable workshop time on addressing directly an array of influential, inter-woven issues, blockages and behavioural patterns across the ‘whole team system’. As every one of our client teams is different, every one of team development workshop is different. Central to our approach are;

1) ‘In the moment’ observations of patterns (often unconscious) of thinking and behaving that influence the more obvious issues further downstream.

2) Raising team member awareness of how their cognitions, emotions and behaviours interact to

We move teams forward quickly and effectively using specifically chosen and uniquely designed  exercises that originate from organisational psychology (appreciative inquiry, psychometrics, facilitated exercises); sports psychology (stories and metaphors); clinical psychology (CBT, gestalt and family therapy) and our experiences from Big 5 management consulting (vision, strategy and process work). These exercises are demanding, dynamic and fun and devoid of psychobabble.

We collect hard and soft data to demonstrate an ROI from our work. Our average AICE improvement over a 9 month period is over 20%.
