A collective does not automatically generate collective intelligence. Bringing talented people together is not enough. What matters is what happens between them: how perspectives meet, how expertise circulates, how people challenge and influence one another, and what can emerge through their interaction. My work focuses on creating the conditions for this to happen.
KLEISSIDRA'S OFFER
Depending on the context, I mobilise collective intelligence in three different ways.
Turning the experience of others into a resource for learning and action
Peers do not need to share a common objective to become a resource for one another.
Formats include:
Co-development · Mastermind groups · Peer-learning groups · Groups for entrepreneurs, managers, researchers and research support professionals
Mobilising collective resources around a shared objective
When people share an objective, the challenge is not simply to bring individual contributions together, but to enable the team to think and create collectively.
Areas of intervention include:
Scientific teams · Management teams · Collective creativity · Collaboration dynamics · Team development · Shared vision
Turning multiple perspectives into a shared construction
Complex projects increasingly bring together people from different disciplines, professions, institutions and cultures.
The challenge is not simply to coordinate their respective contributions. It is to create enough interaction and shared understanding for something genuinely collective to emerge.
Examples include:
Interdisciplinary scientific consortia · ERC Synergy projects · Complex collaborative projects · Multi-stakeholder initiatives
TESTIMONIALS FROM GROUPS OF PEERS AND TEAM COACHING

Thanks to Michela, I discovered the co-development approach and how it can help teams address workplace challenges. Michela gave us a practical tool built on sharing and dialogue. In particular, we learned how to ask the right questions.
Taking part in regular monthly co-development sessions helped us gain fresh perspectives on workplace challenges and identify practical ways forward together. Michela’s facilitation was instrumental in building trust within the team and creating a space for open dialogue and constructive feedback.
I attend peer to peer sessions facilitated by Michela within a group of ERC Laureats. In co-development, there's always this fear of projecting our own fears onto someone else and missing who they really are. But ultimately, it's inevitable: we all see things through our own experience. That's why we need several perspectives.

Michela lead a group-based exploration of the ProcessCom model with her, which enabled us to discover our respective personality profiles and gain a deeper understanding of our stress patterns at work. She has also been supporting me in developing my leadership through monthly one-to-one sessions that bring clarity, insight, and a sense of calm.

Michela guided us with great skill through the different stages of building our project, while paying close attention to maintaining a healthy balance within our team. Her support enabled us to collaborate more effectively by bringing together our diverse — and sometimes radically different — approaches, and to consciously acknowledge and integrate our different ways of working.

I attended a two-day training course facilitated by Michela, and I found the way she structured and led it particularly effective: opening check-ins, debriefs in pairs, whole-group debriefs, time for discussion, and a closing reflection.
