High Performing Teams

The Oaklin High Performing Teams Proposition is all about maximising the potential of your team to deliver exceptional results. Through bespoke workshops and training packages, we enable teams to work effectively, perform at their best and achieve their goals.

To deliver this, we focus on three key areas:

Underpinning these services is Oaklin’s accreditation as a certified business practitioner in Insights Discovery©, through which we help individuals and teams to better understand themselves and each other.

Through this approach, Oaklin’s High Performing Teams Proposition leverages our extensive experience in business and culture transformation to help you develop high-functioning, aligned teams that consistently deliver exceptional results.

Case Study

Enhancing collaboration to support a joint venture

The project team of a Joint Venture (JV) between two FTSE100 Energy companies benefited from a high level of technical expertise. However, they recognised a need to strengthen group cohesion and enhance communication. 

The Oaklin team prepared an away day with the objective of building connections across the JV, improving self-awareness and mutual understanding among team members.

Each participant completed the Insights Discovery questionnaire, providing personalised profiles that guided our workshop activities. 

Our facilitators led the team through activities that illuminated their personal colour energies, helping team members connect with their strengths and identify growth opportunities. 

We tailored examples to reflect real-life scenarios, illustrating how different colour energies can contribute to project-specific goals.

We offered condensed refresher sessions to remind each team member of ways to apply their Insights Discovery profiles to daily work challenges. 

The client received practical guides and reminders for integrating the colour energies into their regular interactions and projects.
