Description

Teamwork: Cooperating Day to Day, Deciding Together and Delivering on Commitments

Getting people who did not choose one another to work together and to make decisions that actually hold

  • 1 day — 7 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

A capable team does not cooperate automatically. Remits overlap, some topics belong to no one, decisions taken in a meeting quietly unravel over the following week and unspoken tensions end up slowing everyone down. Goodwill alone cannot compensate for an unspoken framework.

One day to make cooperation explicit: clarifying roles and grey areas, agreeing ways of working, using collective production methods that give every view a place, deciding according to a stated rule and tracking the commitments made. Participants work on a live project from their own team.

Learning objectives

  • Clarify roles
  • responsibilities and grey areas on a shared project
  • Agree ways of working accepted by the whole team
  • Facilitate collective work that takes minority views into account
  • Track the commitments made and address disagreements without delay

What makes this programme different

Role clarification carried out on a live team project
Rotation of facilitator and note-taker roles during the exercises
Ways of working drafted and validated collectively
