Introducing Connective Intelligence, IA’s new Alliance Sponsor

Innovators Alliance is pleased to share that we have formed a new strategic partnership with Connective Intelligence Inc. – a trusted partner to entrepreneurs for people development and business growth.  As a new Alliance Sponsor, Connective Intelligence is excited to share their expertise in three key areas: Organizational Growth and Performance, Talent Recruitment, Engagement & Retention, and Leadership & Team Development Solutions.

For the past 25 years, Connective Intelligence has maintained an entrepreneurial spirit and been dedicated to helping clients innovate and grow profitable and sustainable businesses through accelerated change and disruption, so this partnership with Innovators Alliance is a natural fit.”

– Connective Intelligence President and Founder, Dr. Brett Richards.

Over the course of our partnership, Connective Intelligence will be sharing thought leadership, resources and tools that meet the needs of Innovators Alliance members based on their areas of expertise:

Organizational Growth & Performance

Connective Intelligence and the AlignSight SaaS-driven Platform quantitatively measure and improve an organization’s ability to innovate, grow and change adaptively. AlignSight provides leaders with valuable insights and clear actions focused on improving performance and results across leadership levels and functions to:

  • Accelerate Growth to Scale
  • Align and Develop Talent to Culture
  • Drive Business Strategy
  • Maximize Valuation on Exit

Talent Recruitment, Engagement & Retention

Connective Intelligence and (CI) Global Search are a professional search firm specializing in the recruitment of executive, operational and leadership roles at all levels. CI’s experienced recruiters have collaborated with some of the best employers in Canada that compete in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, construction, technology, and financial services. The CI Global Search team ensures effective on-boarding, as well as talent engagement and retention strategies.

Leadership & Team Development Solutions

Connective Intelligence and (CI) Consulting include a seasoned team with deep expertise in consulting, coaching, training, organizational development, creativity, and innovation which all focus on improving skills, performance, and results for organizations. CI’s next generation assessments and tools support the development of capabilities at three connected levels: leaders, teams, and organizations – to align, grow and achieve sustained business success.

In our most recent annual survey, members revealed that their key priorities were continued and/or  improved growth and profitability of their businesses, along with people related enhancements (hiring, supporting, developing, etc.).    We set out to secure a strategic partner who would be able to support you in these areas, and I am confident that Connective Intelligence will bring the right experience and a fresh focus to these priorities.

I look forward to providing more information about their expertise and services in the weeks and months ahead! Learn more about Connective Intelligence here:
