Boosting performance within a collaborative culture at LinkedIn

Solution

One of the best ways to instill the Insights language of color in an organization is to build a core of accredited Insights Discovery Practitioners internally.  We have begun to build a network of practitioners across LinkedIn, who are experts both in what’s going on on the ground, and how to use Insights Discovery solutions to address those issues quickly.

For LinkedIn, there were three ways to maximize their culture of collaboration:

• Helping people improve their time management in a way that worked for their personal preference. In a company where agility and speed are key, we’ve supported people to improve their productivity and raise awareness of where time may slip from their control.
• The language of color! The Insights Discovery color energies are incredibly powerful, but as easy to remember as 1, 2, 3. Team members find it easier to work productively, to address conflict, and to understand why others may work differently to them when they embed Insights Discovery into their daily working life.
• Focusing on team communications. Newly formed teams needed to find a quick way to work together well. By mining the wealth of information in their Insights Discovery Personal Profiles, and using the array of exercises we shared with the LinkedIn practitioners, they were able to recognize each other’s preferences, understand each other and work well together from the very start.
