Team development that starts with how you actually come across
A group's success isn't determined by its most talented member. It's determined by how effectively everyone collaborates. IDI helps groups build collective social intelligence: the shared capacity to navigate interpersonal dynamics that shape how work actually gets done.
Why talented groups still underperform
- 01Individual talent doesn't equal group performance
Research shows that a group's success is rarely determined by its most capable member, but by how effectively members collaborate. Collective intelligence trumps individual brilliance.
- 02You lack a common language for collaboration
Without shared vocabulary, feedback stays vague. IDI replaces judgments with actionable, context-specific behavioral insights.
- 03The group's blind spots are invisible from inside
Groups develop collective patterns, like always avoiding conflict or over-indexing on consensus. These patterns are invisible to the group itself, but they shape every decision.
An honest picture of how your group actually collaborates
IDI (Interpersonal Dynamics Inventory) is a behavioral profile in which colleagues anonymously describe how a person is experienced in their work role.
Each group member selects a work role and invites colleagues who observe them in that context. The result is a data-driven map of real collaborative behavior, not personality labels, but how each person actually shows up at work.
This is where the gap between intention and impact becomes visible, and where real development begins.
From insight to lasting change
See yourself as others see you
Each member gets a behavioral map across three dimensions, plus a gap view between self-perception and how colleagues actually experience them.
- Affiliation, how we build relationships
- Directiveness, how we exert influence
- Adaptability, how we balance our own and others' needs
Grow together as a team
The team shares its profiles, agrees on where the group is today and commits to a shared development goal.
- Shared team diagnosis
- Collective commitment and goal

A complete system for collective social intelligence
IDI doesn't stop at assessment. It builds a continuous development loop where individual growth strengthens the whole group.
- 1Map individual profiles
Every member creates their own IDI profile by selecting a work role and inviting colleagues. This reveals how each person collaborates in context.
- 2Aggregate into a group profile
Compiling all individual profiles reveals collective tendencies and opens space for meaningful dialogue about how the group actually functions.
- 3Build a shared language
A certified IDI Facilitator translates profile insights into a value-neutral vocabulary for discussing dynamics, replacing blame with understanding.
- 4Develop through daily practice
Each member sets a personal development goal and practices with AI coaching. Micro-courses turn insights into lasting habits inside daily work.
IDI gave our group something we'd never had before: a shared, non-judgmental language for discussing how we work together. The profile didn't tell us who we are. It showed us what we do, and that was the breakthrough.
Built on research, used since the 1980s
The method builds on Dr Richard Zackrison’s research at the University of Minnesota in 1977 and has been used in Swedish working life since the 1980s. Since then more than 300,000 profiles have been generated, the basis the Swedish norm rests on.
