Introduction

Bringing together multidisciplinary teams in a global business requires more than expertise—it demands seamless collaboration, strong team dynamics, and fast connections. Mindflick partnered with Mott MacDonald’s Strategic Advisory team to integrate Spotlight, helping them build high-performing teams, accelerate connection, and embed a shared language of collaboration.

The challenge

Mott MacDonald is a global management, engineering, and development consultancy, employing 18,000 peopleacross economic and social infrastructure projects worldwide. Within this, the Strategic Advisory team—formed just over a year ago—has grown to 150 professionals across four distinct teams.

With teams forming rapidly and projects requiring seamless collaboration across different locations and time zones, professionals needed a way to quickly connect, align working styles, and build strong relationships from day one. The pace of work meant individuals often found themselves on assignments with colleagues they had never worked with before, making it crucial to have a tool that could accelerate connection, strengthen communication, and ensure high-performing teams could form quickly. As a global business, bringing together the right people at the right time was essential to solving client challenges efficiently and effectively.

 

The solution

Mindflick partnered with Mott MacDonald’s Strategic Advisory team to integrate the Mindflick platform into their approach to team building, collaboration, and professional development. By embedding the platform into daily workflows, professionals gained deeper insight into their own working styles and those of their colleagues, ensuring they could quickly adapt and build trust. This approach has become a key enabler for the Strategic Advisory team, knitting together four distinct teams and providing a framework for forming and developing teams more efficiently. With access to real-time insights, individuals can instantly understand how to best engage with colleagues, ensuring that conversations, decision-making, and teamwork are more effective. Professionals can now proactively tailor their approach to different people, improving efficiency, strengthening relationships, and ensuring they work smarter across a global organisation.
