STRATEGIC TEAM WORKSHOP
REFOCUS ON THE WORK THAT MATTERS
Is the work your team is doing, still the work that matters?
Value is created when the work that gets done aligns with the long-term needs of customers and stakeholders. But in an increasingly volatile and uncertain world, requirements shift, expectations change and value can be lost.
This Strategic Team Workshop brings team members together to see the bigger picture, make sense of what’s changing and refocus their actions on the work that really matters.
Spending a single day engaging and realigning your team could save weeks or even months of lost productivity.
Improving Strategic Awareness
The Strategic Team Workshop teaches the skills futurists use to make sense of the future, and then gets teams working together to identify, understand, and prioritise the trends that are impacting their work. Building strategic awareness supports teams to be clear about what they should be planning for, where further exploration might be needed, and importantly, what can be let go of.
Why This Workshop?
There is little debate that we are currently operating in a time of heightened uncertainty and volatility, and these conditions are having very real effects on our teams and people.
Research has shown that uncertainty negatively impacts effectiveness, collaboration, and individual health and wellbeing. However, the overwhelm individuals experience in the face of uncertainty can be managed. Bringing teams together to identify and prioritise the core drivers of change not only creates clarity and shared understanding, but also enables teams to realign their individual actions and focus on the work that matters.

The ability to continually realign our work is fundamental to maintaining productivity and delivering value in a changing world.

Ideal Timing:
Why Start Now?
In the current environment, it’s important to bring teams together on a regular basis to recalibrate. Within the natural cycle of business, there are a couple of key points that lend themselves to these types of workshops.
For many teams, the start of the new year and the end of the financial year provide a clear opportunity to reset and refocus.
For leaders and boards, strategy off-sites and annual strategy review processes are also excellent opportunities to bring people together for this type of collective reflection.
In both cases, a Strategic Team Workshop will get your people on the same page and provide clarity on the strategic priorities going forward.
