About

Collective Insight fosters collaboration, enhances communication, and drives organisational innovation. With over 25 years of international experience, we specialise in facilitation and training services designed to empower leaders, teams and organisations to deliver complex projects.

Simone Maus, the visionary founder of Collective Insight, is driven by a deep passion for helping businesses and governments create more sustainable ways of working together on our planet. Her vision is to awaken humanity to the powerful resource of collective intelligence, which can be accessed through skilful facilitation and collaborative ways of working.

After two decades of global travel and cultural immersion, Simone discovered that all cultures share fundamental commonalities. This inspired her to become a Facilitator, helping organisations leverage diversity for intelligent outcomes. Growing up in communist East Germany, she learned the importance of community and trust. After the Berlin Wall fell, Simone experienced the disempowerment of forced cultural change.

A transformative moment with a collaborative professor led her to embrace facilitation, focusing on inclusion and collaboration, leading to intelligent decision-making using collective intelligence. Her mission is to help leaders create environments where individuals freely contribute, harnessing collective insight for dynamic, innovative, and effective teams.

“A very rewarding training experience. I learned a lot that I am already using in practice. I have completely shifted my view on online training and facilitation. Previously I thought it it was a poor alternative to Face to face. I now know that if done well it can lead to transformational outcomes.”

Pam Bourke, Facilitator, Trainer and Corporate Consultant

“Simone was a powerful and effective teacher and facilitator. I participated in her course and she was also engaged as a facilitator for a major international Zoom Forum. She was excellent at both. At the Forum, she provided a strong backbone to the structure and flow while also ensuring that it remained dynamic and authentic. “
