A little more detail.

Discussion and agreement on what it will take to work effectively as a team to meet objectives. What does success look like for your team? What does your team need to do to succeed?

Work is much more meaningful with a clear purpose in mind. Participants consider the overall goals of their team and relate this to their daily work. Is there anything else they can do to improve the team's chances of meeting its goals?

How to run it.

When to use it

Use Winning Team to help a group agree what effective teamwork looks like for them. Discussing what success means and what the team needs to do to reach it connects everyday work to a shared purpose and makes the job feel more meaningful.

Use it when

  • A team wants a shared definition of success and how to get there.
  • People are working hard without a clear sense of the collective goal.
  • You want to link daily tasks to the team's wider objectives.

Not the right tool when

  • The team needs to look at how it works together day to day. Use Team Canvas.
  • The focus is the organisation's strategy rather than the team's. Use Playing to Win.
