As a company Director, he got frustrated by sending key staff off to courses which weren’t offering any meaningful impact, so thought he could develop something that did. Harv’s background is as a farmer; he adapted a farm discussion group model which has continued to develop every year into what we now know as Collective Intelligence.

Not so far.

It’s one of the very best tools available for making sense of complexity.

The more open and vulnerable you are able to be - in your own time - the more you can grow with your team.

Each team has a maximum of 12 members, typically around 10, ensuring everyone can thrive in facilitated discussions. We’re dedicated to creating an inclusive experience for all members, with skilled facilitators trained to ensure every voice is heard.

Stay curious, listen up, and be committed to growing with your team. Have the guts to show up as your authentic self, and allow room to let others do the same.

The work our teams do is in enhancing mana through connection. This involves a diverse family of people who challenge each other, share profound insights, care deeply and create a sense of belonging together. You can expect to laugh, to be surprised, to be uncomfortable (sometimes), and to learn from people you would not normally spend time with.

Wherever possible, no. There may be someone loosely connected to your business, but we work hard to ensure there are no conflicts of interest within any team.

Absolutely! We love early-stage members as we find they add vitality and new perspectives to our teams. Think of it like an accelerator programme with the most tailored and thoughtful advice you could ever want.

Again, absolutely! We cater to solo entrepreneurs right through to members of large corporations. It’s not about the size of the operation, but the size of the heart of the individual.

Yes, but always in different teams. Collective Intelligence is about developing the individual, which, in turn, develops the business.

The average is around 4 years, with the longest (so far) being 15. We encourage a minimum commitment of 3 years to get the most from this process and, if you do move on for a time, you can always come back.

Don't overthink it—what you need now will be different in 12 months. Collective Intelligence is an evolving process, and our membership options are designed to be navigated in a non-linear way as your needs continually evolve.

Absolutely! We ensure there’s no conflict of interest between you and other members. If you're not happy with your team, we can adjust it—but that has't been necessary so far!

Incubator Memberships help entrepreneurs turn their proof of concept into a thriving business through mentorship, resources, and a collaborative approach. As a team, you'll map out a clear pathway to growth.

Based on a 6-8 month sprint model, we create a tailored team that meets regularly to help take your concept from A to B.

People we trust, drawn from our human ecosystem, who are motivated about, yet disconnected from your project. It is important that they aren’t too close to the topic to ensure we remove as much bias in the thinking as possible.

The programme will be tailor made for your needs, using our facilitators best suited for your business. We utilise our well developed methodology, and focus on your most valuable asset, your people.

We design a programme across 1-3 years, depending upon your needs.

Our people come to you. The rest depends on the size and nature of the organisation, and what outcomes you want to achieve. Before we get started, we co-design the programme with you, taking one step at a time. This is a process and we remain responsive along every piece of the journey. This is about developing a whole team, together.

Organisations with the ambition and capability to be pushed to new horizons.

We create a tailor made team who your people meet with for a short time (2-3 days), to be challenged towards new ideas and solutions. We do this with as little drama and as much wisdom as possible.

This is our consultancy model without the consultants. Just people we trust, drawn from our human ecosystem, who are skilled at questioning, interpreting and getting to the real issues.

Yes, but always in different teams.
