INSEAD: Building High Performing & Agile Finance Teams

As they prepared for their end-of-year workshop, the INSEAD finance team recognized that achieving their strategic goals required more than just planning—it called for building high-performance habits and a collaborative mindset across the team.

Context:

The INSEAD finance team had well-defined goals and a strategic vision, yet they faced a critical challenge: fostering true cohesion and alignment in their ways of working. While each team member contributed effectively, the team aimed to develop deeper trust, agility, and collaboration to sustain high performance over the long term.

Challenge:

The team wanted more than just a successful workshop; they sought a transformative experience to reinforce daily habits that would improve communication, accountability, and collaboration. Their focus was on embedding practices that would not only improve their workflow but also create a culture of high performance, essential for achieving lasting impact.

How Miki Island Helped:

To achieve these objectives, the INSEAD finance team turned to Miki Island, an interactive experience designed to develop high-performance habits through engaging gameplay. During the Miki Island session, team members were immersed in a simulated environment where they tackled real-world challenges, experimenting with different strategies to build trust, enhance collaboration, and solve problems with agility. The experience was followed by a comprehensive debrief, during which the team identified key takeaways and crafted an actionable plan to embed these high-performance habits into their everyday work.

Outcome:

As a result of the Miki Island workshop, the INSEAD finance team emerged with a clearer sense of unity and a shared commitment to high-performance principles. They developed a practical action plan focused on sustaining collaboration, trust, and accountability in their daily interactions. Team members reported increased role clarity, improved communication, and a renewed focus on aligning their efforts with strategic goals. This shift not only elevated their ways of working but also laid the foundation for continuous improvement and sustained high performance.
