Welcome to IFSI!

We combine the principles of systems thinking with arts-based methods and storytelling, to help build stronger cross-functional and inter-disciplinary teams that leverage their full potential for success.    

  • Collaboration: A New Story

    In today’s fast-changing, interconnected world, collaboration, be it cross-functional, inter-disciplinary, or cross-sector, is essential for individuals and organisations to tackle complex challenges, drive innovation, and thrive.

    Yet, many of these collaboration efforts fall short of expectations.

  • An Outdated Paradigm

    Traditional collaboration models assume that bringing together brilliant minds from diverse disciplines will automatically leverage their collective intelligence, and lead to effective teamwork.

    Research consistently shows otherwise.

  • Unfulfilled Potential

    Research by Stanford University estimated that 75% of cross-functional teams are dysfunctional, and fail in multiple ways.

    For teams that function across industries or sectors, the task of creating collective impact is even harder.

    For many organisations, this translates into wasted resources, increased costs, and persistent or worsening complex problems.

  • A Systemic Approach

    You can have a room full of the brightest minds. If each is thinking about their own part of the puzzle, or blaming others in the room, you will not be able to harness their collective intelligence to create impact.

    They need a systemic approach to see the bigger picture, and their role with in it.

  • Systems Intelligence for Collective Impact

    Our systems intelligence framework is specifically designed to catalyse and elevate cross-functional, inter-disciplinary, and trans-disciplinary collaboration, helping your team take its collective efforts from good to great.
