Our experiences work equally well for both scenarios. We’ll work with you to decide what option best suits your needs. Participating in intact teams can foster camaraderie while mixed groups can offer diverse perspectives. Some companies find value in offering a mix of both approaches — intact teams for cohesion and mixed groups for broader insights. The choice depends on your specific objectives and preferences.

TELUS is a global market leader in communications and technology with $16 billion in annual revenue and 15.2 million customer connections spanning wireless, data, IP, voice, television, entertainment, video and security, healthcare, and agriculture. The services TELUS offers help people and, businesses thrive in a constantly changing digital environment. TELUS engaged Box of Crayons as their learning partner to make the skill of coach-like curiosity a habit across their entire organization as part of a broader change initiative around performance development.
Their objectives were to completely reimagine performance development by providing team members with direction and coaching, emphasizing forward-thinking developmental coaching instead of retrospective performance evaluation. The idea behind this approach was to create a flexible and simple goal-setting process that focuses on a maximum of five quarterly goals, including one for personal development, and allows for feedback collection from anyone in the organization. In addition, TELUS wanted to build a strong coaching culture that would be used in daily interactions and in performance.

“Everyone has a role to play in creating a coaching culture, and we’re focused on unlocking the potential of people at every level, every day, to generate new and better ideas for our company, customers, and communities.
A few years ago, we set out to enhance our coaching culture. While our team is exceptional at developing signature initiatives, we embraced a growth mindset and asked ourselves: “And, what else?” We chose Box of Crayons because they ask the very same question.
We collaborated to co-design a coaching program that helps all of our team members show up with curiosity. It’s the backbone of our leadership development programming, and it’s highly effective. We realized a 459% return on investment, with team members reporting a strong sense of empowerment and time savings by using a coach-like approach.
Box of Crayons delivered and did it while having fun. They’re talented, and true partners.”
