One Day to Value Congruence: For team and organizations
How is it done?
We have a well-proven workshop process for working with teams and organizations. But every organization is unique. So we consider the needs and circumstances of each organization and can customize the process as needed.
What happens before the workshop?
- We meet with the participants to present the process and answer questions. This takes about 30 minutes.
- Participants rank their personal values using our Value.Online system. We do this about a week before your workshop.
How does the workshop day work?
- In groups of three, we develop mapping and insight into personal values.
- Individuals present on how they prefer to work in groups and what relationships and roles they’re comfortable with.
- We rank the group’s shared priorities and behaviors based on the group’s assignments and goals. We then discuss and decide on 3–5 values that should be guiding the team’s actions.
- We discuss and strategize how they should be implemented and followed up in everyday actions.
What’s the follow-up?
A few months after the workshop, we have 2–3 hours with the team and make a new ranking of the common values. This lets us coach and offers tips and suggestions to work more effectively and address any issues.
Background
Teams often make a mistake from the beginning. They create rules for the group before knowing each other’s values or clearly articulating what these rules mean.
We reverse that process.
A prerequisite for the team to successfully agree on norms that everyone commits to and promotes for new employees and customers is to start with the group as individuals. Only when each individual has insight into and can convey their personal values and motivations to the group can the journey towards congruence begin.
The concept of value congruence means that the values of the employees and the organization are consistent in a group and organizational context. Value congruence is the prerequisite for creating a collaborative culture in the workplace or in the association and is the key to increased motivation, a better work environment and an efficient business.
