Feedback given honestly, and without any ulterior purpose, is possibly one of the greatest gifts that one individual can give to another. Without feedback, it is difficult to know how or what to improve. The word "Accipio" originates from Latin and is the root of the modern day verb to accept. Most people find it difficult to give feedback, but even more find it difficult to accept it and therefore refuse to accept a gift which has often been carefully thought through and given with the best of intentions.
What is Accipio?
Accipio is a service that allows teams to move to the next level of performance by really understanding each others professional (and personal) strengths and weaknesses. read more
Accipio allows a team to be honest about each other in a completely anonymous way, and as a result promotes the strengths of the team and individuals. Conversely, it also lays bare the flaws of the team and individuals and whilst this may seem daunting, it is the first step to team or personal development; what should we or I improve upon? In summary, Accipio combines the best of both peer-group reviews and self-perception analysis.
How to use Accipio
Accipio is best used by professional learning facilitators or team managers as a precursor to a series of team building events. read more
Normally at the start of a team building event, time is allocated for the team to talk about themselves and what they see as their strengths and weaknesses. These conversations can often be difficult to get going and are not always as honest as they could be, particularly for the more junior or inexperienced members of the team. Through the use of technology, Accipio allows all team members to be honest about each other in a way that is easy and unconfrontational.
What are the benefits of Accipio?
Accipio allows all team members an equal say and completely anonymously to their peer group resulting in a more accurate picture of the team. read more
Because information is gathered before the event using the Accipio service, it allows team members to compose their thoughts, without the pressure of thinking on the spot under the gaze of their peers. Time and cost is saved at the event as all the strengths and weaknesses are known prior to it, so the facilitator or team manager can hit the ground running by planning a more targeted team or individual event.
What are the costs of Accipio?
Costs vary depending upon the size of the team and whether any other associated services, such as facilitating the event, are taken. read more
