Case Studies

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.

Insights Discovery team building workshop at an Automotive manufacturer

Oaklin facilitated an Insights Discovery colour wheel workshop to improve team dynamics, foster a collaborative and inclusive culture and focus on ways of working at the client. The half-day workshop introduced the participants to their Insights Discovery profiles and through a series of fun and engaging activities, explored specific areas including strengths, communication styles and blind spots.

Oaklin facilitated the creation of a ‘Team Colour Wheel’ showing similarities, differences and values each member of the team brings, and ultimately provided a transparent understanding of their purpose, roles, personal needs and goals.

The session encouraged inclusiveness, respect and cooperation raising the levels of trust and psychological safety within the team, improving decision-making and enhancing collaboration. The workshop laid the groundwork for improved relationships and team performance.
