University Alliance
When a team is full of talent, drive and ambition - but something still feels disconnected - it’s often about more than capability. At University Alliance, the leadership team recognised this. They had the people, the passion, and the purpose. But to truly thrive, they needed stronger cohesion. That’s where Insights Discovery® came in, helping them transform the way they understood themselves and each other, and turning a group of colleagues into a collaborative, connected team.
The Challenges Faced by University Alliance
Although University Alliance was performing well, the team saw opportunities for improvement in how they worked together. Communication styles varied, assumptions caused friction, and collaboration didn’t always flow. Conversations were happening - but not always landing. Progress was being made - but not always with ease.
They weren’t looking for a quick fix. They were ready to invest in something deeper: a culture of understanding, adaptability, and shared language.
How Ali Stewart & Co Responded
Ali Stewart & Co introduced Insights Discovery® to help unlock that potential.
Each team member received a personalised profile, offering insight into their natural working style, communication preferences, and areas for growth. Through facilitated sessions and open dialogue, the team began to see one another - and themselves - in a new light.
It wasn’t just informative. It was energising. Suddenly, conversations became clearer, collaboration became smoother, and the team had a common framework to navigate challenges together.
“We gained a better understanding of working styles, communication preferences and the needs of staff. We’re now able to adapt our working practices to truly harness the strengths and weaknesses of the team.”
Nigel Davies, Business Manager
The Results
The impact was immediate - and lasting.
With greater self-awareness and empathy, individuals began to show up differently. Team dynamics improved, communication flowed, and collaboration became not just easier, but more enjoyable.
Insights Discovery® has now become part of how University Alliance welcomes new team members. Every recruit receives a profile and feedback session, embedding the language of colour from day one.
For University Alliance, this wasn’t just a training programme - it was a turning point.
“Working with Ali Stewart & Co and using Insights Discovery® profiles is a cost-effective way to enhance team dynamics and increase individual self-awareness. It’s helped our people build stronger relationships, communicate more effectively, and contribute to a more cohesive and productive workplace.”
