Membership

Personal and Team development tailored to you

When you become a member of Collective Intelligence, we assign you to a diverse team of people. Teams meet throughout the year around New Zealand in facilitated workshops – focusing on developing each team member’s growth.

How to reset your world with Collective Intelligence

[2:36] May 2020: We’re looking for curious and courageous people who want to change the world! Right now we need courage in great dollops, and it’s hard to come by. But we can help you with that. Our founder, Ian ‘Harv’ Harvey explains how Collective Intelligence can help you unleash the power of cognitive diversity in a team environment, and the benefits of working on your opportunities and issues with people who are not like you.

[3:18] June 2020: Here Harv sets out briefly for you the nuts and bolts of how his uniquely New Zealand-made, applied model of professional and personal development works for curious and courageous people hellbent on changing the world. Are you ready for your future?

Diverse Teams

We build diverse teams of people, chosen for their attributes of competence, ambition, curiosity and authenticity. We ensure teams are diverse in people’s background, age, wealth, status, ethnicity, gender and experience.

Sample some of this diversity via our podcasts or guest blogs that feature the Collective.

This diversity gives people powerful, unique peer-to-peer learning opportunities. Diversity in our teams is important because:

  • people’s status and posturing declines
  • feedback is more effective because of the lack of status in the team
  • competent people can safely ask naïve questions
  • you can take inspiration from other industries
  • industries develop at different rates – diversity means you can get to share this
  • hanging out with your own kind is great – but not evolutionary.

Our recommended reading on the power of diverse thinking and how it relates to collective intelligence is Matthew Syed’s book Rebel Ideas.

Collaborate and Collide

Our teams collaborate, collide and disregard convention. We tackle issues facing each of the members – to help accelerate their personal growth. We ensure a fun, safe and respectful environment.

Credible and Unique

Trained facilitators who are qualified and experienced in our methodology – guide the team meetings. Meetings are face to face – and are not available virtually/online.The Collective Intelligence approach is designed to be long lasting and tailored to your individual needs. You get to craft the program with your team mates. Each team is unique, and they govern their own destiny.

Our credibility is clear – we have hundreds of high functioning professionals turning up three times a year, for an average of 6-7 years.

LET'S TALK!

Once you have registered your interest, we will set up for you to chat with with one of our Collective Intelligence members. Don’t worry, they’ve raised their hand to do this!

It’s a great opportunity to get to the core of what Collective Intelligence is about, how we do what we do, and the benefits of membership, as well as challenges – from the perspective of an active member.

Curiosity is most welcome!

The outcome of this discussion will help both of you determine if this is a good fit for you now. If so, as a next step, we will send you a “Snapshot” to complete – which will help prospective team members to get to know you a bit better, and your motivations behind your interest in membership.

Each of our teams is individually designed and our goal is to find a match for you that meets the needs of the team as well as your own. Once a match is made, you will receive a welcome kit, an invoice for your joining fee and annual membership fee, and receive access to our Members area of the website.

Then it’s on to your first meeting!

YES! LET'S TALK!
