Start with the profile
The Six 'I's® Profile
A diagnostic for understanding how innovation capability shows up at the individual and team level.
The Six ‘I’s® Profile helps people and teams see where strengths are clear, where imbalances may be limiting progress, and what stronger contribution requires.
What the profile reveals
The profile helps make visible the patterns that often remain unspoken in how people and teams approach innovation, contribution, and execution.
Areas of strength
See which of the Six ‘I’s® are currently strongest, and where confidence, contribution, and capability are most evident.
Current priorities
Understand which capabilities matter most in the context of a current role, team, or organisational challenge.
Blind spots and gaps
Identify where familiar strengths may be overused, where important capabilities are underdeveloped, or where support is needed.
Wider contribution
Gain a clearer view of how individual or collective patterns affect collaboration, judgement, follow-through, and value creation.
Built on The Six ‘I’s® Architecture
The profile is grounded in the Six ‘I’s®, a human-centred framework for understanding how innovation happens in practice.
Rather than treating innovation as idea generation alone, the Six ‘I’s® recognises the broader set of capabilities needed to move from opportunity to action. This gives individuals, leaders, and teams a more complete picture of how they work, where they contribute most strongly, and what may need to develop.
Two ways to apply the profile
The same profiling capability can be used at different levels, depending on the requriement
For Individuals
Support self-awareness, leadership development, role fit, and clearer direction for growth, career development, and more focused development conversations.
For Teams
Reveal collective strengths, imbalances, and capability gaps to support better collaboration, development, and execution.
What it can support
For Individuals
Clearer self-awareness
Understand where their strongest contribution lies and how their profile shapes the way they approach ideas, decisions, collaboration, and implementation.
Development with more precision
Move beyond generic strengths' language by seeing where growth is genuinely needed and where stronger partnership may matter more than self-development alone.
Better role and contribution fit
Recognise which kinds of work, challenge, and responsibility are most aligned with natural pattern of strengths.
A stronger language for leadership
Use the profile to support coaching, reflection, performance conversations, and leadership development with greater clarity and depth.
For Teams
Collective strengths at a glance
See how the team’s overall capability is distributed across the Six ‘I’s®, and where there are gaps or too much of one type of skill set represented.
Insight into bottlenecks and imbalance
Identify patterns that may be slowing progress, such as strong idea generation without enough discipline, or momentum without sufficient investigation and commitment to results.
Better leadership decisions
Give leaders a more grounded basis for shaping support, focus, team design, and development priorities.
A stronger foundation for innovation culture
Support more intelligent conversations about contribution, collaboration, capability, and how to embed stronger innovative ways of working.
This is particularly useful for professionals seeking clearer contribution, leaders shaping stronger judgement and team culture, and teams needing better insight into collective capability, working patterns, and gaps.
Used within a coaching conversation, workshop, or debrief, the profile supports deeper reflection and practical application.
Globally used
The Six ‘I’s® has been used across corporate, public sector, education, and professional environments to support innovation capability, leadership development, and stronger team effectiveness.
