About AQR

We understand teams.

Because
we are one.

AQR is a specialist team performance consultancy. We help organisations understand what is making performance harder than it should be - and do something useful about it.

  OUR MISSION


To help organisations remove the friction preventing teams from  performing.

01             Our team

Two perspectives. One shared standard.

We know something
about teams.
Because we are one.

AQR was founded by Joanne and Anthony Taylor. We bring different experience, instincts and perspectives to the work - and we know first-hand that difference becomes valuable when people can challenge well, stay curious and remain focused on the outcome.

That shapes how we work with clients: openly, practically and as a genuine partnership.

INTERNATIONAL

Provenance + reach

Principal UK Partner of AQR International

Our relationship with AQR International connects us to an established global network of expertise, research and evidence-informed practice across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia/New Zealand.

It strengthens the tools and thinking available to our clients. The work, however, always starts with the team and its real performance challenge - never with a psychometric.

03             What we believe

The principles behind the practice.

Our position on
team performance.

Seven beliefs shape how we diagnose, design and measure our work. They keep us focused on collective performance rather than generic team development.

01             

Capability is not collective performance

02             

Knowing is not the same as doing

03             

Better conversations create better teams

04             

Teams are always developing

05             

Not all friction is bad

06             

Performance happens in the everyday

07            

Diagnose before you prescribe
