A.C.T. In Partnership™
Alignment + Collaboration + Trust = Excellence in Execution
Talented people marginalize their value when they are not aligned with colleagues: Executing plans becomes difficult. Too often interpersonal dynamics (influenced by systems, structure, culture, biases, stories, past conflicts and more) fester within groups, and left unaddressed, become barriers to the success of strategic plans and initiatives. In the end, the customer loses.
The A.C.T. in Partnership Workshop is a sequence of tailored, facilitated discussions designed to quickly unify a team through the experience of the Verus Global methodologies. This proven approach creates the psychological safety required for participants to overcome biases and issues getting in the way of achieving shared objectives. Blame, defensiveness and other dysfunctional behaviors are replaced by the productive, truth-telling discussions that create the alignment, collaboration and trust required for the team to succeed for their customer.
“Ways of working only work when associates are equipped to collaborate and trust each other. We’re evolving our culture and delivering value faster because Verus Global’s programs equip us to collaborate more effectively and build an organization with TRUST as our foundation.”
