  • What exactly are values anyway? In a nutshell, values are an organisation's unique DNA.
  • Values shape your culture, influencing how you make everyday decisions and how you interact with others.
  • There’s no single “correct” way to develop and define values. However there are some methods and approaches that do work better than others.

In Detail

Values are the guiding principles that you use to make decisions about what you work on and how you go about it. They drive your priorities, attitudes and behaviours.

In creating and communicating values clearly and concisely, you are telling employees, customers and business partners what they can expect from you and what you expect from them.

Your organisation already has values, even if they are not written down. They are defined daily by your senior leaders - in how they deal with employees, suppliers and customers. These behaviours are observed and adopted by others.

The objective is to accurately discover and define your organisation’s actual, already-existing values, and give them a spot of fine-tuning - nothing more. In this sense it’s more a process of discovery than creation. This way when you finalise them, you’ll find they are understood and embraced - because they feel “right” and not “forced”.

The ultimate aim is to end up with a set of values that are highly individual to your company, expressed using your own style or voice.

TESTIMONIAL
As a business, we wanted to come together to define our values - not what we did, but how we wanted to do it. From the minute I spoke to James, he came across as an expert who was incredibly knowledgeable and wanted to understand our business and objectives so he could get the very best out of us. We agreed a plan, and James clearly talked through how the workshop would be delivered. The workshop was run exceptionally well and James tailored his approach to ensure everyone was heard - from physicists to HR!

What exactly is a Talkshop?

We're glad you asked! Simply put, a Talkshop is a cross between a talk and a workshop. They're short, punchy, thought-provoking sessions. We take a key concept and explain it clearly, then help your team explore it together to understand how it can help them in their work.
