Build strong, collaborative teams that operate from a position of trust, psychological safety & alignment
TEAM ALIGNMENT
Sense to Solve recognises that each team is unique. Likewise, we believe that it is almost impossible to develop strong, happy, high-performance teams in the absence of effective leadership, an enabling environment and a relatively healthy organisational culture.
One of the primary reasons for this is that psychological safety, inclusion and belonging starts with the leader. If the team operates in an environment in which they do not feel safe, they hold back. And, they don’t only withhold the bad stuff like pointing out and/or owning mistakes, they withhold their ideas and suggestions too. In such circumstances, trying to create team alignment is a little like trying to drive a car with your foot on the accelerator and the break at the same time.
Even when leadership and environmental conditions are optimal, creating team alignment generally requires new mind-sets, skills and practical tools that help to shift behaviour and develop new ways of working.
Learning to work with a growth mindset, powered by curiosity, active listening and learning to ask good questions are key. Individual team members need to feel valued and must learn to understand that they have agency and that what they do and how they do it impacts collective performance and team dynamics.
It is often assumed that people understand what words like “collaboration” mean, when in reality they have no idea how to lean into diversity or tap into collective intelligence to collaborate effectively.
Our data-led Team Alignment Solutions start with the leader and with each individual. We work with the brain and with how people think and make decisions to deliver interactive workshops, practical tools and techniques, underpinned by behavioural science. These shift mindsets, change behaviours, build relationships and team alignment. We also offer LEGO team builds and The Quaternity (an online team building experience).
CONNECT WITH USTEAM ALIGNMENT SOLUTIONS
Starting with the individual, our Team Canvas process is designed to help teams to connect as human beings. This improves psychological safety, inclusion and sense of belonging. In addition, the canvas explores individual and team purpose, goals, values, strengths, weaknesses, needs and expectations. It also helps teams to reach alignment by agreeing what collective success looks like and by providing teams with the framework to discuss and commit to mutually agreeable ways of working.
This practical course is designed to help teams to build efficiency by overcoming the challenges of hybrid work and modern technology. Participants learn how to work with their brains and how to shift behaviour one small step at a time. We emphasise the importance of sleep, taking breaks, setting boundaries, moving more and eating well. We bust the myth of multitasking and provide practical tools and techniques that improve meeting efficiency and effectiveness.
This Masterclass delves into the meaning and importance of collaboration, explores different types and methods of collaborating. It teaches collaboration principles and mindets and explores why it can be challenging by examining biases, prohibitive mental models and other pitfalls.
