  1. INDIVIDUAL iCLi Diagnostic Tool & Assessment

Future-Ready Leadership: What is Your Innovator Profile?

This session is designed to prepare innovation leaders and top management teams for sustainable innovation and manage change. It reveals how to identify and develop your individual, your team’s and your organization’s innovation strengths for maximizing innovation at all levels. Includes a fascinating validated assessment and interactive exercises to help people explore their unique perspectives and potential.

The ‘FUTURE-READY LEADERSHIP’ Feedback and Coaching sessions are designed to assist individuals and teams with understanding how to interpret and apply the results of their profile assessment for more effective self, team and organization leadership. Our coaches work with you to identify your needs, tailor development programs, and measure progress. This assessment will help leaders understand their leadership innovation profile measure.

The iCLi (Innovative Change Leader Inventory) Diagnostic session is recommended to:

  • Map current positions, roles and points of tension
  • Reveal how individuals and leaders can deal with the complexities and challenges of constant change
  • Demonstrate how successful individuals and leaders can effectively utilise the tensions between ‘fixed’ and ‘future’ mindsets to fuel sustainable development and growth.

2. TEAM iCLi PROFILING & Feedback Sessions

This section explores how to manage innovation orientations in teams. It identifies the skills required for innovation leadership, and covers how teams can optimize innovation potential, prepare for change and transformation. By identifying both self-perceptions and team perceptions, the session enables greater insight into individual strengths and challenges and more targeted opportunities for development. Participants learn how to build on strengths and address potential challenge areas, and the iCLi profile provides an invaluable tool for explaining the path to ongoing success.

The Feedback and Coaching sessions for teams are designed to assist teams with understanding how to interpret and apply the results of profile assessments for more effective self, team and organization leadership. Our coaches work with individuals and teams to identify needs, tailor development programs, and measure progress.

(all of which can be integrated into any coaching, feedback,  and/or facilitated workshop sessions).

Also available is the iCLi 360 version: By identifying both individual self-perceptions and team perceptions of individual perspectives, the 360 report enables greater insight into individual strengths and challenges and enables more targeted opportunities for development. By demonstrating how it is possible to build on strengths and address potential challenge areas, the iCLi360 tool provides an invaluable tool for ongoing success.

3. ORGANISATION iCi Diagnostic Tool & Assessment

This sessions how to identify ‘creativogenic cultures’ in organisations for long term sustainable innovation .

This will help to check the organization’s preparedness for innovation.

4. iCLi 360: Seeing Leadership Through a Wider Lens

Strategic Leadership Starts Here: iCLi 360 Assessment

The Innovative Change Leadership Inventory (iCLi) 360 goes beyond traditional self or team assessments by capturing a full-circle view of a leader’s capacity to navigate innovation paradoxes. It draws on feedback from direct reports, peers, and senior stakeholders to reveal how well a leader balances competing demands—such as agility vs. stability, creativity vs. control, and short-term delivery vs. long-term transformation.

Unlike standard tools that focus on individual traits or team dynamics, the 360 version is designed to:

  • Expose blind spots that may hinder innovation leadership
  • Validate strategic strengths through multi-source insights
  • Surface tensions between perceived and actual leadership impact
  • Enable targeted development aligned with organizational outcomes

This makes it ideal for leaders operating in complex environments where sustainable innovation depends not just on personal capability—but on how that capability is experienced and leveraged across the system.
