« Each individual intelligence was born from the collective intelligence of billions of neurons, each collective intelligence was born from multiple individuals cooperating. » 
Edgar Morin

Cooperating: taking part, working together towards a common goal; contributing, participating 

DEFINITION 

All things considered, the way companies are traditionally organised somewhat contradicts the laws of nature. ​​The way we look at the world and anticipate the future is no longer relevant. 

As a matter of fact, no ecosystem is organised linearly or in a simple loop. Today, the idea of cross-disciplinary work is essential and requires cooperation.

BREAKING OUT OF SILO-BASED WORK. COMMITING TO THE IDEA OF PARTNERSHIP IN A CONCRETE WAY.

We value true partnerships with our clients

Our approach

Our business coaches help you create space for expression. They also show you how to design and manage win-win situations. Moreover, our coaches stimulate cooperative thinking within your company. 

Here are some ways to improve cooperation in your team: 

  • Understanding which invisible processes drive your operations.
  • Learning to observe (yourself), looking at how you work, establishing a unique collaboration, taking a ‘helicopter view’.
  • Encouraging sociocratic decision-making to teach your teams to decide collectively without resorting to voting. It’s a technique that your teams can learn and experiment in order to increase cooperation : common goals, collaborative ways of working.
  • Teaching everyone to work in a healthy way, understanding the roles that each employee can take in the company to contribute to a tighter team.
  • Implementing a conflict management strategy via different coaching methods.
  • Learning how to think together, on all levels, rather than hierarchically.
  • Learning how to communicate your frustrations in a healthy way and manage your emotions. Increasing emotional rather than rational intelligence.
  • Managing your meetings differently by sharing responsibilities and roles.
  • Developing collective intelligence within your company.

What a change!

We each formed our own wellbeing teams and applied collective intelligence methods. During the first meetings, I was stressed. I had put pressure on myself and I thought I was supposed to manage everything. Then, as the meetings went on, I realised that the collective intelligence techniques took a lot of pressure off me and made the meetings run more smoothly.
In the team, we laid down certains rules together: respect, care, no interruption, confidentiality, no mobile phones… 
Over the course of the meetings, we have become more mature in the way we meet: accepting that we don’t have the same opinion on a topic, but expressing it without aggression. And the icing on the cake: everyone has become more and more responsible: sharing roles, the team leader is not the one who runs the meeting, one person ensures that the timing of the agenda is respected, team members take initiatives outside the meetings...
‘It works out for us, but I don’t think our managers, some of my colleagues or the unions will get used to those methods.’
That’s what we - coordinators and wellbeing teams - all feared.
But, in reality, we have observed for a year now that more and more managers and employees use those techniques when they meet. Even union members have discovered those methods during a meeting with wellbeing coordinators and they now use them.
At the beginning, some were quite sceptical, but in the end they found the meeting to be constructive and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere resulting from it.
