Cohesion
The engine driving any collective pursuit of a mission is a team of people. Cohesion –
how teams work together – is at the heart of a thriving culture. With a focus on enabling organizational alignment, team chemistry and a liberating work environment, Cohesion is foundational to a healthy operating system.
How Cohesion Works
What matters even more than who is on a team? How the team works together. The Cohesion lever provides structures and tools for strong teams, bringing intention to organizational culture. Healthy organizations harness the value of intentional teams.
Building Blocks of Cohesion
Core Teams: Core groups within the organization responsible for the
execution of strategy
Rituals: Practices to foster a culture of human connection and belonging
Agreements: Live documents generated collaboratively that define how
teams work
