About Connect Quotient

Contextual Leadership, Purpose Driven, Sense of Belonging

Connect Quotient is a philosophy that focuses on the core principles of an organization’s success.

We partner with organizations on Creating Winning Cultures. This process includes celebrating small wins, acknowledging what does not work, imbibing open communication including disagreements, and creating a safe space for having conflicts and voicing opinions.

And in the entire process, getting the teams to focus on the bigger picture - the CONTEXT, what the organization is up to, and ACCOUNTABILITY what role they play in fulfilling that vision.

Creating a commitment to design value-based operating principles for the daily routine tasks and interactions such that those values are experienced and not conceptualized only as a good to have. By engaging leaders in conversations that create a safe space - "Expanding Circles of Trust" activities where people openly celebrate and confess with no fears of being judged, threatened, or evaluated.

By coaching leaders individually and practicing group coaching with the teams to channel their energies to the objectives - focusing on the "What's" and not the "Who's" and mastering blameless conversations.

Creating Winning Cultures is a journey that enables organizations to envision bigger goals and have committed teams.

Connect Quotient's Operating Principle

We did an exploration of Creating a Winning Culture at Connect Quotient and here is what emerged.

The way the operating principle unfolded for us was so beautiful and it resonated so well with our team and clients that we made a choice to share it with all of you – As it is – the raw version of our Operating Principle. Click on “Have a look” to see the entire mind map.

The philosophy is very simple to have faith and operate with trust, keep creating ease and flow, practice blameless discernment in all our thoughts and conversations, focus on the context, enjoy the journey, and strive for excellence, not perfection.

We do have a few non-negotiables and have learned from our participation in Landmark programs and Positive Intelligence frameworks.

We know that this is different but that’s how we like it 😊

Our Story

The seed for Connect Quotient was sowed in 2011 when Kalpesh was working with TCS as the Head of Quality & Training managing an Australian Bank. With a team of 700 people, 12 different processes, and 5 different locations, it was clear that each location & and every team had a different culture. They, as a group, started a fortnightly activity (2 hours) with the following objectives:

Create a collaborative work culture.
Get the team to know each other.

Enhance efficiency and improve effectiveness.

The philosophy was on the lines of best practice shared by Parker Palmer on Circles of Trust and an added flavor of getting people to take leadership (adding some spice to a regular practice was a given 😊)
