What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is an ancient map of nine personality archetypes. Whilst most psychometric tests explore behaviour and preference, the Enneagram goes deeper by identifying nine unique motivations, which in turn shape our mindset, beliefs and behaviours. By illuminating these motivators the Enneagram enables leaders and teams to tap into their hidden potential

Enneagram in the Workplace
Team Building
The iEQ9 Team Report contains unique insights that improve communication, foster positive conflict and drive effective decision-making. Our proven development process creates the psychological safety for teams to translate these insights into action. Bringing teams, business functions and organisations together to share their iEQ9 Team Reports reduces friction and supports improved collaboration.
Culture Change
The Enneagram creates a common leadership language that engages employees and unites people across organisations. CoCreate use the iEQ9 Professional and Team Reports at scale to deliver Enneagram Culture Change interventions for clients worldwide – in the last 12 months we have worked with British, American, Czech, Polish, German, Thai, Indian and Singaporean organisations.
Organisational Development
The Enneagram acts as a catalyst for organisational development by supporting change and transformation at individual, team and organizational levels. By highlighting our current levels of stress and strain the iEQ9 Professional Report can detect signs of burnout and disengagement for individuals – enabling positive intervention before these issues become critical.
Leadership
Senior leaders today must provide strategic clarity, lead with authenticity and promote diversity and inclusion. Deep self-awareness and emotional intelligence are critical, yet many senior leaders lack the tools to grow and evolve. Our unique coaching process delivers breakthrough learning for senior leaders, whilst equipping them to respond to the different motivators and needs of others.
Communication
Each of the nine Enneagram types has a preferred communication style, and the range between them is vast! Conflict, poor decision-making, and disengagement often stems from misaligned communication. By surfacing different communication styles – and what drives these – we increase empathy, enable productive conflict management and equip leaders and teams with the tools to communicate more effectively.
Conflict Resolution
Each of the nine Enneagram types has a preferred communication style, and the range between them is vast! Conflict, poor decision-making, and disengagement often stems from misaligned communication. By surfacing different communication styles – and what drives these – we increase empathy, enable productive conflict management and equip leaders and teams with the tools to communicate more effectively.
Through the iEQ9 tool we gained deep insights into individual behaviours and motivations of my team members, which fosters better communication and collaboration. Managers are able to more easily identify team strengths and areas for development, optimising performance and creating a consistent, productive environment.

I found the iEQ9 tool in particular an incredibly effective aid to build my own team’s and our Integrated Care Board’s cohesiveness, through understanding our differences using a common framework and language. I haven’t experienced anything else which has built the trust and psychological safety to explore and develop together so quickly.
Fiona Edwards
CEO, Frimley ICS
Learning to understand my actions and identifying the ways in which I sometimes need to counter my own nature has given me valuable new insights into myself and my impact on others. The iEQ9 report and coaching process with CoCreate has hugely accelerated my ability to become a better leader and colleague.
Emily Chalke
Founder and CEO, Ella’s Home
I’ve worked with many assessment tools over the years – the iEQ9 is the first tool that has resonated powerfully with my own sense of self and my (often hidden and not always comfortable) motivations. I observed it speak to each member of my team and lead to some of the most open, honest, brave but respectful group discussions I’ve been in.
Robert Woolley
Chief Executive, University Hospitals Bristol and Weston
Working with the Enneagram was a real lightbulbs on, life-defining learning opportunity that allowed me to understand who I really was, what I was driven by and passionate about and where I need to focus my personal growth and development. It has set my life off in an inspiring new direction with energy, commitment and understanding.
Louise Howells
Global Head of Leadership Development
Working with CoCreate using the iEQ9 tool has been a pretty big breakthrough, in particular with our top leaders. It has enabled deeper and more impactful personal development, and I’ve been struck by the pace at which that this has happened. It’s a very powerful way to drive towards high performing leaders that really understand themselves.

Enneagram FAQs
The Enneagram is an ancient personality profiling system whose origins are believed to go back millennia – although the team at CoCreate discovered it a little more recently (in 2018).
The Enneagram is a system of nine different personality archetypes based on three different ‘Centres’ – the Action, Feeling and Thinking Centres. These Centres then shape the motivations and drivers for the 3 different types that sit within each of them.
The Enneagram enables each of us to discover more of our potential by illuminating our motivations and drivers, and the behaviours that flow from these. This discovery enables us to access more of our unique gifts and strengths, whilst working on the limiting beliefs that may be impeding our growth.
No! Each of the nine types is unique and equally valuable, although discovering your type may help you to understand more about how you can relate more positively to others.
Whilst we see value in many other psychometric tests, most focus on behavioural preferences. The insights offered can be valuable for early career employees, and deliver tactical improvements in teams. However, in our experience the Enneagram is unparallelled for driving breakthrough performance for leaders and teams.
