Team Ei Dialogue

For team leaders who want more than a survey report.

The Team EI Survey tells you what is happening in your team. The Team Ei Dialogue process is what you do with it. We work exclusively with team leaders, either running the session for you, or equipping you to run it yourself.

Two ways to work with us

This service is available to team leaders only. It is not a group workshop open to HR or L&D teams to run with multiple teams at once. It is a structured, data-driven conversation between a team and its leader — designed to move from survey insight to sustained behaviour change.

You choose how involved you want to be:

We facilitate. You lead.

Expert-Led Team Dialogue

We design and hold the session for your team, based on your Team EI Survey report. You arrive as the team leader…present, curious, and enabling. We handle the methodology, the facilitation structure, and the moment-to-moment judgement calls. Your team gets a professionally held conversation. You get to be fully in it rather than running it.

Best for: team leaders who are new to the role, leading high stakes teams in transition, or working through a significant cultural challenge where a neutral expert hand in the room makes the difference.

You facilitate. We prepare you.

Team Leader Dialogue Package

You run the session. We build everything you need to do it well and we prepare you personally so you arrive ready, not improvising.

This is not a toolkit you download and figure out alone. It is a fully managed preparation and design process, with Ei World working alongside you before the day and available to you after it.

Best for: team leaders who want to build their own facilitation confidence, or who need the session to feel entirely internal and leader-led.

What the Team Leader Dialogue Package includes

Everything is built around your team's specific data, not a generic template.
Survey Administration

Full configuration, launch, and management of the Team EI Survey for your team. 7-day window, automated reminders, complete anonymisation of all responses. Report and Chart Pack produced by Ei World.

Your team hears from their leader, not from a supplier. We draft all four communications: the survey introduction, the formal invitation, the mid-window reminder, and the pre-session briefing. You review, personalise if you wish, and send in your own name.

A 30-minute recorded keynote by the researcher behind the Team EI Survey, made available exclusively to your team ahead of the session. Your team arrives with context and language, not cold.

We walk you through the full Team Ei Survey Report: what the scores mean, where variance sits, and which two or three norms represent the most productive focus for your session. You leave knowing exactly what story the data tells and what to do with it.

We present the proposed session design and walk you through it in detail. You agree the exercises, the pacing, and any adaptations for your team’s profile. You finish this call ready to walk into the room prepared, not performing.

A fully structured programme built around your team’s specific data. Delivered to you print-ready and ready to use: Structured session agenda with timing guidance; Your facilitation guide: step-by-step instructions, transition language, dialogue starters, and ‘what to do if…’ guidance; Participant handouts: Team EI Model and norms, plus any data-specific materials for the exercises you will run e.g. 90-Day Accountability Framework: a simple structure to keep commitments alive after the session.

This is not a facilitated team away-day

Most team development interventions give a team a good day and send them home. Within two weeks, the insights have faded and the old patterns have returned.

The Team EI Dialogue process is different in three ways:

It starts with data, not opinion

The Team EI Survey gives your team an evidence base, scores across nine behavioural norms, variance analysis showing where the team’s experience diverges, and the team’s own open-ended responses read back to them. The conversation is anchored in something real.

It positions the team leader, not the facilitator, as the agent of change

Your team needs to change how it works with you and with each other not how it works with a consultant who will leave the room at the end of the session. Whether we facilitate or you do, the design puts you at the centre.

It builds in accountability from the start

The session closes with the team naming and writing down three specific commitments, not aspirations, but concrete behavioural agreements. A 90-day check-in and review are built into the engagement. The conversation does not end when the session ends.

Who this is for

Note: This service is available to team leaders only. It is not designed for HR or L&D professionals running programmes across multiple teams. If you are a qualified Team EI Survey user looking to run dialogue processes for your clients, see our Accreditation page.
The Team Leader Dialogue Package is most effective when:

What team leaders say

“The data gave us something we had never had before, a shared language for what was actually happening in the team, rather than everyone working from their own version of events. The session on the day was the best three hours we have spent together.”

The first conversation is a 20-minute call to understand your team's situation and confirm whether this is the right fit. There is no obligation.
