Do you struggle with disengaged team members? Are people pulling in different directions or have conflicting priorities?
The most productive thing you can possibly do is to align everyone before you start on a task or goal. Getting buy-in early on is by far the easiest and fastest way to achieve your goal.
Add a collaborative method to your process to maximize team alignment, collected, adapted, and curated from design thinking, innovation games, gamestorming, and other places. Make it more playful to get even better, more creative results.
