Breaking Down Silos - Brining People Together to Share Their Views

We design an Away Day for a professional services company who has been growing very quickly. They wanted to bring everybody together to hear what they felt would comprise a better work place and some fresh ideas for taking care of clients. They also wanted to give different groups of people in the business to work together.

Features of Active Peers AI Techology

- AI Matching Algorithm
- Feedback Tool

- We ran our algorithm multiple times to generate different table plans based on mixing people based on tenure, business line, seniorority and gender. This then created the opportunity for everybody to meet new people from the moment they went into the room. All it took was pre-existing data, a couple of clicks and the Active Peers AI algorithm.

- We collected a diverse range of views from everybody across the business throughout the day. Our Feedback Visualiser enabled management and staff to quickly see the core substance and summary of the outputs generated.

Results

We turned each of these into reality:

💡It’s a very good idea to bring your team together to work towards outputs and let ideas surface in the room.

💡Structure is important when you want to arrive at an unstructured outcome. Work out what you want and then come backwards.

💡In a high growth environment, people may not always know the other people they’re impacting or who are influencing their respective work. Give them a formal way to informally meet.

💡Be open to what your staff have to say – listen to them, acknowledge them, turn what they say into action, communicate why things do and don’t happen.

💡Changes in culture start with clear messages, positive action from the top and an understanding of why you’re doing what you’re doing.

💡Be curious about your customers’ reaction and be hungry to delight the client.

💡Allow the energy of your people to drive conversations about ideas, overcoming problems, looking to the future etc.

💡Maximise the diversity in your environment to bring ideas to the fore.
