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.

TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS DON'T WORK ANY MORE
It's time to give your organisation what it needs to survive in an exponentially changing world.
Think of it as the corporate cure ... for everything we are facing.
Join the revolution.
"Physical Intelligence should be part of everyone’s education in business – the earlier the better. It’s a gift and the quicker the business gives you this gift, the healthier you will be – physically, mentally and emotionally – inside and out of work."
Head of Business Development,
Global Pharmaceutical Company
"Physical Intelligence is as important or more important than any other form of intelligence. That's hotly debated and not yet really respected and this needs to change."
Wayne McGregor CBE
Resident Choreographer, Royal Ballet
There is a direct and well documented connection between our physiology and our performance. In fact, hundreds of neuroscientific studies tell us that physiology drives our performance in ways that most people don't yet fully understand, let alone have started to implement. We describe Physical Intelligence as the most important intelligence you probably never heard about. It really matters -- especially right now -- because it doesn't just sit alongside our cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ), it underpins and strengthens them.
It is time to once and for all look beyond the traditional ways of raising and measuring organisational performance and acknowledge that we MUST do better in respecting, nurturing, supporting, and valuing people – the human beings upon whom we rely to navigate the ongoing changes and challenges. We can’t simply expect people to work harder, and trade our way out of economic downturns. To create a physically intelligent organization, we’re talking about something different …something more powerful … something that will require innovation and reeducation towards a far higher level of personal and organisational sustainability... Join the Revolution!

A pre-covid Companies in Motion survey revealed that 77% of people said they had no additional resources to apply in times of crisis. Today, where we're all living in a world of never-ending change cycles, pivoting to respond to the latest challenge, we would expect those numbers to be even higher. Ongoing war, narrowly missed economic recession, and the 'BANI' environment of Brittleness, Anxiety, Non-linearity and Incomprehensibility are impacting individual and corporate resource levels in deep and lasting ways. Moving through 2023 we are seeing how this is impacting health and sustainability inside even the most typically robust corporations.
Those survey results indicate a legacy of leaving resilience to chance, and current well being solutions do not go far enough, which means that people and their performance are suffering. As a result, while your team members may look okay, it is highly probable that deep down some are NOT okay, and those that are 'OK' are not functioning optimally emotionally, mentally and physically. And if they aren't functioning at peak, neither is your business.

Organisations can do so much more to help their people. We understand and we can help.
