Build high-performing, inclusive teams

Our High-Impact Inclusive Teaming (HIIT) programs pinpoints and develops the everyday team behaviors that drive sustained high performance — turning diverse groups into high-performing, inclusive teams, at scale.

Compass

The challenges teams face today

Teams are the real engines of business performance. They drive innovation, solve complex problems, and shape customer outcomes. They’re also where organizational culture comes to life — through the everyday behaviors and rhythms of work that determine how people collaborate, adapt, and succeed together.

Yet, as the world of work rapidly evolves, many teams are struggling to keep pace.

Speed and Complexity

Making sound decisions quickly amid uncertainty

Group Divisions

Addressing cliques, bridging social fractures and maintaining team unity

Focus

Aligning on what matters most — linking organizational strategy with day-to-day priorities

Conflict

Turning differences into better outcomes and retaining trust

Hybrid Work

Sustaining connection and collaboration across distance

Sustainable performance

Delivering more while stretched capacity threatens sustained performance

Continuously learning

Adapting and continuously learning amid constant change and AI advancements

Inclusion Headwinds

Retaining the importance of inclusion principles — e.g., respect, belonging and psychological safety — amid ‘DEI’ pushback

Our HIIT program is built to solve exactly this — pinpointing the behaviors that make teams effective, turning insight into prioritized team tactics, and building the conditions for sustained high performance so change lasts and impact is measurable.

How HIIT works for Teams

A connected journey built on a five-stage methodology — Define, Assess, Prioritize & Activate, Develop and Sustain.

STAGE 01

Define

Start from an evidence-based model of the behaviors that drive high-performing, inclusive teams.

STAGE 02

Assess

See how a team actually works together today across all four dimensions of team performance.

STAGE 03

Prioritize & Activate

Turn team insight into prioritized, everyday team tactics that create the biggest impact.

STAGE 04

Develop

Build team capability through advanced modules — delivered as facilitated workshops or on-demand eLearning — where it matters most.

STAGE 05

Sustain

Nudges, pulse checks and dashboards embed new team behaviors and connect them to measurable outcomes.

An evidence-based framework built for the realities teams face today

The HIIT Model focuses on the factors that matter most to team performance now — from role clarity, decision-making and collaboration to psychological safety, adaptability and continuous learning, including around AI. Grounded in the latest research and informed by ILC’s global behavioral dataset, it brings these interconnected drivers together across four dimensions: Composition, Clarity, Collaboration and Culture.
