A Team is Virtual, Their Fears are Real. Time for a Team Reboot!

Have you noticed lately that something is off with your team's dynamic? Disengagement, unproductive conflicts, siloed work can all be symptoms of a larger underlying problem. Whether you are a Scrum Master, an Agile coach or group's leader, it is never easy to initiate a conversation about the "elephant in the room".

This session will introduce you to three coaching tools ("Fear in the Workplace", Safety in the Workplace" and MinSpec) that can help your facilitate these discussions in a fun, non-threatening way, and lead the group through re-defining their ways of working.
You will experience a round of facilitated conversation with either physical cards or Mural version of these tools, clarify the fears behind some of the most common team dysfunction, and learn about a number of ways to help the team identify the most essential ingredients for their collaboration. The session with combine ideas from Amy Edmondson's "The Fearless organizations" book, ORSC, Liberating Structures, as well as lessons learnt from coaching teams in Retail, Financial Services and Broadcasting. You will come back to your organization with practical tools for re-setting the teams for successful collaboration and delivery.
