When you think of an intelligent person, who do you imagine? Perhaps they’re scholarly, quick-thinking, or possess a rare ability to seemingly know all that there is to know.

But intelligence is infinitely more than this! As Daniel Susser teaches us this week, intelligence is greater than the sum of our cognitive parts: it is bodily, inter-connected and contextual. It is a tapestry of inherited, micro influences that makes us each see the macro world in different ways.

So if intelligence is collective, how can leaders unlock it from the organisational organism? Daniel shares all in this fascinating, wordly conversation that dances so beautifully between science, religion and ritual.

It will stretch your thinking and leave you with a whole host of practical tips to extract, celebrate and journey into the intelligence of your organisation!

Find out about:

• What it means to be an Intelligent Team - and how we can create them
• Why organisations must reject their implicit assumptions about what ‘intelligence’ means
• What macrocognition means in organisations
• Introducing organisational rituals for collaboration, belonging and shared purpose
• How leaders can identify imbalances in their organisations using opponent processing
