Produce higher quality project outcomes faster – and at lower cost.

Successfully aligning diverse stakeholders and silo-based teams across organizational, functional or hierarchical boundaries is a challenge on large, complex projects. Stakeholders often have different agendas, motivations and goals. Miscommunication, conflicts, do-overs and even full-on breakdowns often occur.

We can help you create a multi-stakeholder partnership –
an aligned team working collaboratively toward a common vision and shared goals.

Create unwavering commitment to a common vision in your project team.

No matter what type of project, we can help align your team to pursue overall project goals over their own self-interests. Reduce project conflicts, delays and missteps, and instead develop deep trust and mutual support in your team members, so the project succeeds – and the individual players win as well.

Establish collaboration, transparency and mutual support as your new norms.

We can elevate your project team’s performance by radically improving your team members’ abilities to collaborate and work across boundaries. No more withholding information or disagreements that lead to project breakdowns. Rather, people openly stating their needs, fixing problems and supporting one another to produce results, all in service to the overall project’s success.

Empower your project team to solve its most complex challenges.

With more expansive mindsets, more collaborative behavior, and an advanced ability to lead change, your team will become able to solve your project’s biggest strategic challenges. Working together, they will effectively navigate all the complexities they face.

TOOL Clarifying Shared Accountability Partnership Agreements

This partnering tool is designed to help key players and teams build strong, sustainable relationships that will foster achievement and learning – simultaneously.

WEBINAR How Visionary Leaders Build Trust in Their Teams

Building trust in an organization takes more than hanging a motivational poster on a wall or having a leader who says all the “right” things. Effective, lasting trust can only be authentically developed; it’s never the result of technique.

This webinar explores how to embed trust into teams and organizational culture. We identify the critical skills a visionary leader uses to take a group of individuals who are out for their own agendas and develop them into a high performing team that is in sync and breaking through to new levels of excellence.
