Dynamics in Human-AI Teams
Dynamics in Human-AI Teams
Work better together in the context of AI with our new consulting package
Dynamics in Human-AI Teams is a new consulting package to build the capacity of work teams to think, relate and make decisions together within environments increasingly mediated by AI.
The package brings together Tavistock sociotechnical consulting, the application of systems psychodynamics and the innovative Co-Intelligence platform developed by tech start-up Elevate4.
Over 12 weeks, participating teams will gain clarity about how roles are reshaped and authority shifts when teams interact in hybrid environments.
Our goal is to build your relational readiness and resilience in the context of AI and remote work; and to increase your productivity and critical judgement. We want to enable your AI integrations to strengthen your team, rather than quietly replace the decision-making of your human team members, burn people out, or create dependency.
The offer
Dynamics in Human–AI Teams is an online pathway to help teams build collective capacity to notice, decide, and take responsibility together for well-being and productivity.
Decision clarity: A visible map of how responsibility, authority and AI influence are distributed in real work.
Internal capability: Trained team members able to continue the practice independently.
Behavioural shift: Observable changes in meetings, decisions and collaboration patterns.
The 12-week online programme
12 weeks to install the capacity to think and decide together.
Phase 1: Human-AI systems mapping
This is a whole-system diagnostic of how your team is working together in real time, in the here and now. We use a new Digital Work Experience index™ to map digital work environments across four dimensions: Witness (what becomes visible), Sense (what you feel beneath the surface), Relate (your relationship with digital tools), and Shape (creating containers for emergence).
Phase 2: Working with our platform
Teams use our platform to capture multiple data points from everyday work – a message that stalls, a meeting that drains, a decision that keeps drifting, an interaction with AI that quietly takes over your headspace. These moments are captured in the flow of work, treated not as feedback or performance data, but as lived experience.
Phase 3: Innovation experiments
Employing micro-experiments that send signals to the work system. We support internal Dynamics Champions to read emerging patterns, hold reflection spaces, and continue the work beyond the programme.
Phase 4: Collaborative Sensemaking
Teams develop the capacity to understand the roles AI takes on and work with sociotechnical patterns in real time.
Helping you balance the social and technical aspects of work in your team
We map the patterns shaping how you work together and help you navigate what’s actually there.
- Participants learn to notice and develop their readiness to respond to relational risks (moral stress, AI anxiety, siloing, withdrawal, AI failures) as they occur in the workplace;
- Teams develop resilience to navigate complex and turbulent work environments and stay with discomfort;
- Teams learn to manage boundaries by evaluating and determining the role of AI in decision-making;
- Team mapping for intentional Human-AI collaboration;
- Teams develop a shared language for digital and AI-mediated work to maintain collective thinking capacity;
- Teams enhance their ability to analyse live relational patterns and dynamics for business strategy;
- Teams become able to remain present in the face of continuous change.
The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations & Elevate4
Dynamics in Human-AI Teams is a new partnership between the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and tech start-up Elevate4. The partnership brings together 79 years of Tavistock Institute research on how people and technology interact in the workplace with Elevate4’s Co-Intelligence platform and innovative application of systems psychodynamics.
The Co-Intelligence platform, developed by Elevate4, provides a new form of containment that enables teams to evidence and understand their dynamics – hidden assumptions, beliefs and behaviours. It offers a shared infrastructure, grounded in systems psychodynamics, to shift work patterns and productivity levels from overwhelm to optimal fit.
When organisations introduce new technologies in workplaces, they are not simply adding tools.
AI Agents, Chatbots, Vibe Coding Apps and MMLs are reshaping how people work together, communicate and feel about their jobs.
In the face of the promises and pressures of AI integration in workflows, teams can lose their capacity to think together and take strategic decisions.

Who this is for?
The programme is open to teams from all sectors working in digitally mediated environments – including fintech, tech, public sector, and commercial organisations.
We welcome interest from senior leaders, managers, founders, and HR teams.
We especially welcome applications from small and medium size organisations, who feel the strain of this new reality of work and are willing to evolve, not just adapt.
Pricing
This package is priced at £12,000 for teams of 8-12; £16,000 for teams of 13-20; £21,000 for teams of 20+.
