What I believe: • People have the right to be successful at work. • People work most effectively when intrinsically motivated. • People learn most effectively when they are active agents of their own development in a supportive environment. • People best solve complex problems in small, collaborative, networked teams. • Teams collaborate best (both intra-team and with other teams) when there is a clearly defined common goal, intrinsic motivations are aligned and trust is high. • Teams are most effective when their working practices are grounded in empiricism. • Trust is built through the demonstration of its existence. In order to have the best chance of success, teams have the right to: • Means - frameworks, support, training, materials and tooling that facilitate their work and development; and an active commitment from colleagues at all levels of the organisation to remove impediments and blockers. • Motive - an environment that supports the desire to do exceptional work by aligning team and organisational goals to personal motivation in the pursuit of delivering exceptional value. • Opportunity - the steady supply of stimulating, challenging and relevant work that allows teams to develop their collective capabilities and understanding.
Helping teams, people and the organisation achieve greater impact through continuous learning and improvement, and greater understanding of customer and market needs.
