We form blended teams and openly share our work as we go. We don’t do ‘ta-da’ moments. That means better work, focussed on the right things, with fewer surprises.
Collaboration from start to finish
It’s easy to say you collaborate well, but our clients tell us it’s true. Here’s how we do it:
We share early drafts, starting with our proposals
We all create a ‘user-manual-of-me’ – a guide for how each of us works best
We define project goals and team roles at the start
We try and meet in person early on in projects
We carry out research to understand an organisations’ culture
We form peer-to-peer relationships with in-house teams
We share our work-in-progress early
We’re open about any challenges
We run retrospectives to keep improving
What our clients say
We see cxpartners as an extension of the Google team – we’re culturally similar. There’s a responsiveness and pragmatic ability to stay on top of things and get things done.
We like the openness. The daily human contact leads us to an effective rhythm and sense of integration.
The sense of collaboration and the way cxpartners facilitated a different way of working was important. You could see those key stakeholders in workshops – influential people – discovering a different way of thinking.
Better results through collaboration
Close collaboration brings important benefits to the organisations we work with:
We have a clearer idea of what we are trying to achieve.
When there are issues (with the work, or the team), we fix them early.
When we leave, the knowledge about a project or programme stays.
We build capability by transferring our expert skills.
