Team collaboration › Common situations
A new or restructured team
Good people who don't yet know how each other works. Left alone it takes months to become a team. With a little help it can take weeks.
What's often going on
- Everyone works hard on their own area, and the shared result gets less attention. That's Everyone's Own Patch.
- People fill the gaps with assumptions about each other.
- Nobody's sure yet how decisions get made here.
What helps
- A shared picture of how each person works, and where the team might stall
- Agreeing how the team will work together, early
- A quick check at around day 90 to see what's taken hold
For this one, we'd usually start with the Team Collaboration Pulse Check, then an assessment like Working Genius or DISC so everyone sees how each other works.

Which assessment do you use?
It depends on the team. Working Genius and DISC are common starting points for a new team.
Can we do this online?
Yes. Online, in the room or a mix.
