Article 25 design and build high-quality hospitals, schools and homes in the places that need them most. Thanks to their work, more children are able to complete their education, healthcare is within reach of more communities, and people have safer homes that can withstand a changing climate.

THE CHALLENGE
Article 25 sought out Mindflick's assistance after their recent team expansion and the evolving dynamics among their in-house and external talent, including engineers, architects, and operational staff. Our goal was to help them bring their new strategy to life by igniting connection between the growing team and evolving culture.
THE SOLUTION
We collaborated with Article 25 to facilitate a one-day workshop called IGNITE. This workshop aimed to strengthen connections among the leadership team whilst ensuring the lessons learned could be distilled across the organisation. IGNITE is a focused team experience designed to help individuals optimize their performance and accelerate conversations about team work. Each member of the team gained valuable insight into how to leverage individual and collective strengths, understand their unique team dynamic, enabling them to work more effectively together and create lasting positive change.
THE IMPACT
Article 25’s eight senior leaders participated in the IGNITE session, with Head of Operations, Tim Harper, sharing how IGNITE had impacted the leadership team:
“IGNITE really acted as the launchpad for us to start engaging in the real performance conversations. It allowed us to understand difference and you gave us the tools and mindsets to adopt in order to actually tolerate and amplify difference. Critically, it allowed us to start challenging some of the thinking behind the way we do things, of experimenting more, of embracing and thinking differently. The work has actually created long term change too. We’re all more mindful both explicitly and implicitly. We feel much more constructive and have a far greater appreciation for the different qualities each member brings, how we can more strategically deploy them and allow each other to not always hit the mark without being critical or judgemental”.
