The Right Conversation - Our Philosophy

Conversations are what give the day-to-day operations of business their momentum: Organisational knowledge is shared, reviewed and created in off-sites, team meetings, phone calls, town halls, one-to-one appraisals and corridor talk every second of every business day. Conversations are, quite simply, how business is actually done. Team Conversational Norms Diagnostic. News, Events, Comment.
