Learn how to better start each new project with your team.
Many projects only start to fail at the stage of execution / implementation. Our many years of experience show that it is most often caused by communication problems that result from different styles of thinking and acting.
Team alignment is a workshop, which will help Your team to work out a common answer not only to the question WHAT WE WANT TO DO in our project, but also HOW WE WANT TO ACHIEVE IT?
During the creative and strategic exercises, Your team will achieve alignment in terms of: understanding the goal of the project, better understanding the values and competences of each team member, clarifying mutual expectations and creating a common risks’ map.
During the preparation for the workshops, each participant will perform one of two tests: the FRIS method (tools for describing the diversity of ways of thinking and acting) or the Strengthsfinder method of Gallup (identifying key talents). This self-diagnosis will help to create stronger sparring-partnerships within the team and affect the final effectiveness during the work on the project.
