Drivers of effective collaboration include:
Both within and across teams proactive collaboration is a desired outcome but one that is hampered by peoples natural instincts to only trust and work with their immediate ‘tribe’. MODAL’s experience shows that building clarity and trust across boundaries is necessary to create the conditions for effective collaboration. We also help leaders develop their capability to create a one team vision and embed one team thinking in their teams. We also help develop the supporting norms and communication structures, to ensure collaboration is ongoing.
Individual tribes mentality
Work in silos
Inefficiency
One team thinking
Improved cross functional alignment
Increased productivity
MODAL recognises that organisations that have cultures with low avoidance and oppositional mindsets, and that have high achievement and collaboration focus are more productive. We can help measure and benchmark your culture (separate from employee engagement). We can do this at the whole of organisation, department or team level. We help co-design culture development plans to close culture gaps and provide development programs. We can assist in breaking down silos and improving a one team culture, and help build trust between organisational levels, as well as helping leaders work more at the right level. We can help teams become more innovative in their approach and develop leaders to more effectively manage change resistance.
