    Behaviour Enablers and Drivers

    Curiosity : The extent to which a person is likely to tackle problems in a novel way, see patterns in complex information, and pursue deep understanding. Question the status quo and consistently search for different and better ways to do things. 'Wouldn't it be great if we...' Keeps an open mind constantly asking 'What if?', Avoid shutting down new ideas by saying 'This is the way we do things here'. Adopt a problem solver, versus fault finder, mindset.

    Customer obsessed : Relentlessly seek to develop ever deeper understanding of the jobs to be done of customers, clients, employees and stakeholders. Ensure all solutions are rooted in addressing key customer needs and problems. Deep insight into how customers made decisions between different solutions.

    Collaboration : Incorporate cross-functional expertise resourcefully, recognizing that the smartest person in the room is often the room itself. Emphasised collective versus individual goals. Be transparent and frank whilst remaining respectful. Provide visibility and transparency on initiatives.

    Risk-taking : Act confidently despite incomplete information, expect iteration and change, excel at experimentation, and celebrate judicious risk taking. Plan for different scenarios and alternative outcomes. Constantly ask ourselves 'What don't we know?' and 'How can we learn more?'. Design experiments to learn more about key assumptions. Reward teams for intelligent failure.

    Empowering : Exercise initiative, seek out and leverage resources, and make confident decisions. Trust more junior employees to carry out tasks without approval. Look for ways people can bring ideas forward or speak up when something isn't working. Own outcomes without shirking responsibility. Set teams up for success by removing obstacles and providing resources and support.
