Counter Intelligence is a group problem solving activity designed originally by Steve Hutchinson and Helen Lawrence to be used with sub-groups of around 6 people. It focuses on task supervision: establishing and controlling a process, giving clear instructions, asking for and summarising inputs and setting out next steps.

This activity works well at first line supervisor level and allows group members to exercise a range of communication and strategic thinking skills. It involves active participation from all group members as each is required to contribute their information in order to complete the task, and a leadership role can be assigned (or left to emerge from within the group).

A range of information is provided to the participants: some relates to the task performance and others to the process and ways that the participants behave. 'Rules’ are provided and the review will typically include to what extent these ‘rules’ were observed, and whether or not the rules are 'important' or not in order to complete the task. The exercise can develop into an exploration of values - is the objective to obey the instructions or to complete the required shape?
