Win Win

Build shared success with the teams you rely on.

Whilst every team wants to do its best, doing that at the cost of others isn’t really winning. In this exercise we look at how you achieve a win win with other teams and roles within your organisation in order to create a shared success.

In depth

A little more detail.

We’ll use the network map (created during the Team Network Builder session) to look at which teams have an important role in the success of your team. These could be:

- teams who need to feed information to your team in order for them to complete their jobs

- teams who you need to work side by side with in order to achieve particular goals or projects

- stakeholders who have a high influence on your team / projects

Working as groups you’ll consider both sides of the win win coin. What is your role in their success and what is their role in your success? What do you need to do(from their point of view) to help them be successful? What do you need from them in order to be successful?

You’ll share your thoughts with the group, adding any additional items people have and contributing to those of others.

BRIEF Facilitation notes

How to run it.

When to use it

Use Win Win to turn key relationships into shared success. Using the team network map, groups work through both sides of each important relationship, what they need from others and what others need from them, to build mutual wins.

Use it when

  • A team's success depends on cooperation with other teams.
  • Relationships are one-sided or transactional.
  • You want to strengthen collaboration around shared goals.

Not the right tool when

  • You first need to map the relationships. Use Team Network Map.
  • The focus is building a specific relationship in detail. Use Team Network Builder.
