Align - Attune - Aha!

Musical groups can give a great performance only if they’re “aligned” (playing the same music at the same rhythm and dynamics) and “attuned” (in tune with each other). Otherwise, their music will not be pleasant, even if they start and finish the same piece together.

With teams at work, alignment means working collaboratively with a common agreement about purpose, roles, and protocols for working together. We also have to be attuned to each other: understanding and respecting each person’s individual purpose and values, and developing relationships based on group values.

Furthermore, our research and experience has revealed that the team climate for innovation requires individual skills and group synergy on 8 critical factors: commitment, conscious risk taking, character, cooperative learning, creativity with diversity, collaborative decisions, congruence of thought-word-action, and celebration of achievement + learning.

The Align - Attune - Aha! workshop offers tools for building competencies in all these areas of collaborative, innovative teamwork. Separate assessments are given for: (a) individuals climate skills and (b) team synergy in practicing the climate skills.
