Project Mountaintop

Project Mountaintop is an Assurance programme run by volunteers from Assurance to improve work culture and experience for Assurance as a whole.

A refreshed Project Mountaintop kicked off in November 2020 with five teams working on various strategic Assurance business priorities. The key aim was to engage and develop Managers to Directors while creating space for citizen-led innovation.

One of the teams tasked with looking into fostering good culture initiated the Assurance Ways of Working (WoW) initiatives which focused on cultivating three key behaviours - team accountability, time to complete documentation and completing an engagement with no open items, to deliver quality without compromising on wellbeing.
