All team members bring different points of view, and priorities based on their roles and functions in the organization. Misalignments are normal and persistent but should not be problematic. Highly competent, well-intended teammates who are expected to collaborate to achieve greater goals together can only do so by purposely designing how all parties can channel those differences to function as true assets and coordinate across these differences as a source of competitive advantage. However, alignment is not a spontaneous, automatic state within teams or partnerships. It is only achieved by continuously resolving misalignments as they occur. This requires shared intention and attention within a team supported by intelligent frameworks that support performance.
Ankura supports clients through performance challenges within teams and partnerships. What distinguishes our approach is that it is practical and allows the team to learn on the field – not in a conference room.
