Creating Leaders for Teams, Systems and Sustainable Transformations
Harnessing your organization’s collective intelligence is no longer a luxury - it’s a necessity.
Leadership for Collective Intelligence (LCI) addresses the three fundamental dimensions of breakthrough leadership: your internal landscape, your ability to create transformative spaces, and your capacity to read and reshape entire systems.
When you transform your inner terrain, you elevate your impact and gain the presence to create containers that enable collective intelligence to emerge. With this foundation, you develop the perception to see how organizational forces truly work—and the mastery to act decisively on critical leverage points, amplifying your impact across the entire ecosystem. For three decades, LCI has guided leaders through this complete journey: from personal transformation to orchestrating powerful high-performance team environments to mastering the art of systemic change.
Join a world-class community of global graduates who consistently cite LCI as their leadership turning point. This isn’t conventional leadership development. It's a comprehensive pathway to organizational transformation—working simultaneously at the levels of self, space, and systems.
Transform within.
Create catalytic space.
Unleash Collective Power.
Program Format
The LCI consists of four in-person sessions, one-on-one coaching, guided practices, and interim virtual meetings over ten months.
Session 1
Dialogue & The Art of
Thinking Together
Introduces the transformative power of "thinking together," collective leadership, and systemic change. Grounded in the individual, where all genuine transformation begins, you'll cultivate a deep quality of personal presence that enables you to hold your "center" as stakes rise. Through deepening awareness of Self leadership, you’ll experience how personal transformation mirrors and catalyzes systemic change—the holographic nature of transformation. Experience and apply this creative cycle of profound change directly in your leadership journey.
Session 2
Leadership & Group Intellegence
Explore leadership through understanding both personal and collective shadows that shape performance. Master dialogue as a transformative vehicle for systemic change, while developing the capacity to access and elevate group intelligence through container creation. Learn how to transform shadow dynamics into sources of collective power and innovation. Master the implicit rules governing group knowledge creation and breakthrough performance. Develop the skills to build and lead teams that consistently deliver on ambitious vision, turning collective potential into tangible results.
Session 3
Systems Thinking
& Design
Reveals the dynamic power of living systems to enable or impede creative action. Focuses on both the interpersonal nature of systems and their structural aspects. Learn to perceive systemic structures in high and low-stakes settings—in yourself and others—and understand how these structures create unintended results. This perception enables you to artfully shape and set containers that allow transformation to emerge. Master a logical approach to untangling complexity, allowing clear design to emerge.
Session 4
Collective Leadership & The Architecture of Large System Change
Learn to design interventions at the organizational level with precision and impact. Build capacity to structure inquiry, assess system readiness for change, and elicit the deeper dream of those involved. Master how regression and resistance are natural parts of transformation that, when properly understood, create space for new organizational identity to emerge. Acquire practical tools to navigate these dynamics, ensuring lasting change.

About
Founded in 1995, dialogos pioneered methodologies in dialogue and generative change that have catalyzed breakthroughs in organizations and institutions worldwide. For three decades, these approaches have enabled profound results across global enterprises, international institutions, and investment firms.
Our legacy traces to 1990 when William Isaacs co-founded (with Peter Senge) the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT—a consortium of 25 leading companies dedicated to cross-organizational learning and change. Building on his work with physicist David Bohm, the Kellogg Foundation funded Isaacs to establish the MIT Dialogue Project, launching generative conversational experiments globally. This work established the theoretical and practical foundation for what would become dialogos.
Today, dialogos comprises world-class pioneers, practitioners, and thought leaders who partner with international institutions, Investors, and senior leaders across six continents. Our principals originated many methodologies now central to successful organizational development, including organizational learning, dialogue, and dialogic process consultation. These approaches remain core to how we catalyze generative change at individual, team, and systemic levels.
From global financial institutions to international development organizations, from corporate boardrooms to government chambers, dialogos continues to pioneer the future of generative change.
