Our first workshop with our facilitator

Before we build systems for other people, our own have to be right. That is why we took the time to step back and ran our first team workshop with an external facilitator.

Why an external facilitator?

A facilitator moderates without taking sides. They ask the right questions, keep the thread and make sure every voice in the team is heard. That is exactly what we needed: a neutral view from outside that helps us separate the important from the urgent.

It mattered to us that this was someone outside the team with no stake of their own in the outcome. That way every question could be put on the table openly, including the uncomfortable ones.

What we worked out

The day was about three things: our vision, clear roles in the team and the goals for the coming months. We wrote down what Laufwerk stands for, who carries which responsibility and how we measure success.

Three things came out of the day that we have worked with ever since: a shared picture of what Laufwerk stands for, clear responsibilities for every area and goals we use to measure our progress, instead of just hoping things move forward.

What this means for our clients

A team with clear roles and a shared direction works faster and makes fewer mistakes. For you that means clear points of contact, reliable processes and decisions that fit your goals. We live by what we promise you, namely systems that work.
