Thank God it’s Monday.
Work shaped around people.
Not the other way around.
We do our best work when we play to our preferences.
Every day’s a school day.
For the people who teach, the people who learn, and the people who make education happen.
“We’re all learning.”

01 / THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE EDUCATION HAPPEN
Make room for each other.
Teaching, research, administration and leadership all depend on people working together. Start with the people in your team and a conversation about what helps each of you do your best work.
“What works for you?”
Compare two myMAPs when both people agree. Use the differences to discuss something practical: preparing a meeting, giving feedback or sharing a task.

cultureMAP brings collective preferences into view. Use the heat map and narrative as a starting point for leadership discussion. The facilitated change layer follows a Culture Blueprint with David.

A group becomes a team
one conversation at a time.
An induction, a group project, a training programme. People arrive with different ways of approaching the work. Give them a way to talk about those differences and decide what to try together.
CircleMAPS / THE COHORT VIEW
Illustrative report preview. Ask David to explore a cohort example with you.
Explore CircleMAPS with David ↗“How shall we work together?”
- Explore your own myMAP and choose what to share.
- Look at the cohort’s preferences together.
- Agree one practical way of working.
- Come back after the task. What helped? What needs changing?
For example: share the brief before meeting, leave thinking time, and agree when everyone will contribute.
Read the thinking behind this approach ↗“What could I try next?”
Coach supports a structured development conversation informed by the person’s work preferences. Students can explore a challenge and choose a next step, with trainers or mentors supporting the wider learning journey.
Read about agency and development ↗“Let’s see your perspective.”
A Circle explores connections between members of a chosen group. It offers another way to discuss where preferences meet and differ, alongside the cohort view in CircleMAPS.

03 / ALREADY IN PRACTICE
One learning community.
Several ways to use Sariio.
At Shadow Global, Sariio is used by students, trainers, senior leaders and recruiters.
From the cohort to the leadership team.
- CircleMAPS for student cohorts.
- Coach for student development.
- myMAP comparisons to explore two people’s preferences.
- cultureMAP for the senior leadership team.
- successMAP for recruiters.
These are examples of current use, rather than measured claims about attainment or retention.
“For us to be sustainable, it's this kind of continuous improvement that would really support us. Sariio is an incredible tool.”
04 / PLAYFUL ON THE PAGE. CONSIDERED IN THE THINKING.
There’s reading behind the doodles.
Why does working together need practice? What does agency mean when there is still a task to complete? Explore the research, the practical possibilities and the limits of what we can claim.
Putting people in a group is the beginning.
A shared task needs shared expectations. Research on collaborative learning and team learning offers useful starting points for a cohort conversation.

Start small. Learn from experience.
Talk with David about platform access for your staff team or adult student cohort. We can discuss programme length, students joining and leaving, and the support your facilitators need.
For schools, our starting point is staff development. Use with under-18s requires a separate suitability and safeguarding review.
Participation and sharing should be voluntary. Sariio explores work preferences; it does not grade ability or assign learning styles.
