Common Ground
Put the focus on the invisible mechanisms that create cohesion in your organisation.
Through reflection and dialogue, you’ll work with the expectations, patterns and differences that characterise collaboration – often without being said out loud.
The course provides a common language, strengthens social capital and results in a concrete ‘Coffee Contract’ that translates the day’s insights into everyday action.
General
The “Common Ground” course focuses on the invisible mechanisms that bind a company together. Through a day of reflection and dialogue, we work to strengthen fundamental collaboration by examining all the things we don’t usually talk about. The goal is to create a common thread linking individual experiences to shared agreements that can be felt in everyday life.
Benefits
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the company’s “social capital”—including the importance of trust, fairness, and the ability to collaborate. By the end of the course, participants will have transformed the day’s reflections into a concrete “Coffee Contract” with specific agreements on which behaviors to stop, start, and continue to optimize well-being and efficiency.
Target Audience
The course is designed for companies, departments, or teams seeking to strengthen their internal cohesion. It is relevant for both new and experienced employees who wish to actively contribute to a psychologically safe work environment where diversity is viewed as a strength rather than a barrier.
Content
The day is divided into five modules that guide participants through a process from reflection to action:
- The Invisible Backpack: Focus on settling in and establishing a sense of security through the “Coffee Contract.”
- The Psychological Contract: Dialogue about the informal agreements and expectations we have of one another.
- The driving force of diversity: Examination of the team’s various “manuals” and how individual strengths create synergy.
- Social capital: A concrete assessment of the department’s “invisible currency” (trust and fairness).
- From theory to reality: Translating today’s key points into concrete agreements for the future
Duration
The course is structured as a full-day workshop from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, including scheduled breaks and lunch.
