Interkannections is a community of change agents committed to expanding and evolving capacity and competency at the individual, organizational and community levels. Evolving capacity is the expansion and deepening of an individual’s or collective’s ability to see, engage with, and create positive results in a changing world.

They use coaching, consulting, facilitation, project management, training, train-the-trainer programs and web-based solutions to support Global Leadership Development, Organizational Development, Sustainability and Talent Management.

We work with Interkannections to assess, support and transform individual leaders, organizations and communities of practice.

Susann Cook-Greuter developed the Leadership Maturity Framework (LMF) to describe developmental levels as part of her PhD at Harvard University. This is the theory we recommend as it is supported by an assessment tool, the SCTi-MAP, which measures an individual’s developmental level. This is currently the most rigorously validated, reliable and advanced assessment tool to assess adult leadership developmental. It is based on the Washington University Sentence Completion Test (WUSCT) created by Jane Loevinger in 1978. Bill Torbert, Professor of Management at Boston College, created new labels for the stages and added the concept of action logics.

Metcalf & Associates uses the LDF as a primary tool to identify “Level 5 Leadership” and work with clients to identify developmental goals. This foundation enables leaders to understand their current developmental level compared to the level necessary to effectively navigate business transformation. The language of the nine levels allows us to identify significant differences in groups of people and tailor communication and processes to meet their needs. We find the LDF to be a highly effective tool with employees at all levels within the organization.

In addition to guiding individual development, the LDF enables organizations to identify high potential employees, as measured by leadership developmental level, and position them within the organization to leverage these abilities.

The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP) is a true breakthrough among 360 degree profiles. It is the first to connect a well researched battery of competencies with the deep motivations and underlying habits of thought. It reveals the relationship between patterns of action and the internal assumptions that drive behavior. Ultimately, TLCP goes to the source of behavior to get greater leverage on change. Furthermore, unlike most profiles which take hours to interpret, TLCP integrates all this information in a way that brings the key issues to the surface instantly. The data in TLCP reveals itself in seconds. At a glance, the whole gestalt is accessible. It immediately gets your client in touch with what is working, what is not, and why!

Metcalf & Associates, Inc. uses TLCP to assess leaders and help them understand specific competencies on which to focus development efforts. Because the assessment is based on 360 feedback, people gain perspective from multiple stakeholders to better understand the impact of their behavior on others.

Minds at Work is the group doing the original work on the "immunity to change" and the "seven languages" technology for diagnosing and overcoming it, as featured on National Public Radio's "Marketplace," in Fast Company Magazine, and The Harvard Business Review. Minds at Work services are built on a knowledge-base of twenty years of original research conducted on the transformation of adult capacities.

The work of Dr's Kegan and Lahey provides a framework for working with clients to identify their immunity to change and helping them overcome it. We see amazing results with this approach for both personal effectiveness coaching and team problem solving. The big differentiator in this approach is the people in the system change along with the system so change is sustainable
