We recently partnered with Evelyn Jackson and the Corporate Crayon team to ideate and then deliver on our employee conference in March 2021.

With this conference we wanted to achieve two things
1. We wanted to kick start 2021 and bring our team together to reconnect after being apart in 2020.
2. We wanted to launch our global behaviours in a fun and engaging way that made them come to life off the page.

Evelyn was fantastic in helping me realise and unpack what I wanted to achieve from the day, but more importantly she brought a real creative flare on how our goals could come to life.

The Team came up with some great ideas which really play into the concept of making work more fun and playful, and we have had nothing but compliments from our employees on how much they enjoyed the day.

The OPSM employees absolutely loved the values when we launched them, and I am happy to say the OPSM Values are still lived today.

Stakeholder mapping identifies all key audiences — employees, investors, media, government, customers and community — and defines their influence, interest and optimal engagement approaches.
