“The behaviours of my team members have changed. I have had to manage a negative team, who were reluctant to accept the changes in quality and adherence and what was expected of them. Now I have noticed small changes in behaviours such as putting forward ideas on how to improve how we perform. Now there is a lot more focus on what we ‘can’ do!”

The TakeON! Process

The TakeON! four-step framework has been designed with ‘ease of implementation’ in mind and to accommodate the structure, priorities and pace of any organisation.

Step 1: Discover

Your TakeON! Business Partner initiates a simple and effective discovery process to explore your key challenges.

Step 2: Develop

Working together with your leadership group, we agree your immediate focus – where you need to gain traction most quickly.

Step 3: Deliver

Your TakeON! Business Partner guides your managers through selection and implementation of the first three Conversation Shaper themes from our extensive resource centre, building internal competency around the use of the unique Conversation Shaper process.

At the heart of the TakeON! approach is the use of the Conversation Shaper process, designed to achieve collaboration and ongoing sustainable enhancement in processes, practices and behaviours.
Imagine everyone in your organisation coming together on a regular basis for focused discussions on a specific issue, and then leveraging their collective knowledge to shape a better way forward. The process works on the proven premise that ‘to create is to own’ and that if your people come up with their own ideas to address their issues, then they are more likely to take ownership of implementing these.
We appreciate each business has different demands on them in terms of time and resources, so each Conversation Shaper theme in our extensive library of over fifty themes, has been designed to be adaptable to your specific needs and to be aligned with other organisational initiatives.

Step 4: Debrief

Progress is reviewed, areas of momentum are uncovered, remaining ‘blockages’ are identified and additional Conversation Shaper themes identified. Following the completion of each Conversation Shaper module, results are captured and consolidated. Your TakeON! Business Partner then works with you to uncover insights around what is changing, the positive momentum generated and what business issues can be tackled next with the TakeON! process.

From here you can choose to select further Conversation Shapers that address remaining performance issues. A key aim at this stage is to continue to build positive momentum and the capability and confidence required across your business to sustain the progress made with the online TakeON! community playing a key role here.

TakeON! Community

To ensure you always have ongoing support, TakeON! comes with access to our online resource centre and collaborative community – the ON2net. Here you can download additional resources and connect with the TakeON! team, and other organisations using TakeON!, to share experiences, ideas and ask questions.
