About

Connecting tribes of knowledge

Academy of Tribes maps the hidden structure of leadership teams. Where most personality testing tells you what individuals are like, we show how a team’s minds actually combine: where coverage is strong, where the blind spots are, who holds the team together, and where the configuration itself (not the people) concentrates the risk worth examining.

That structural view matters most when the stakes are high: team composition, post-merger integration, leadership succession: any moment where the actual shape of a team matters more than another competency framework.

Built and run from Oslo by Eric Andreas Helsem Schaumburg, drawing on a decade across psychology, sustainability strategy, and organizational systems work.

An academy is a place where knowledge is kept, developed, and taught. Tribes are the people it serves and connects: across disciplines, roles, and ways of thinking. Four branches carry the work: Topos maps, Praxis practices, Paideia teaches, Tribes gathers.
