Target ways of working

What this method does

A cycle of facilitated working sessions that turns observed gaps into shared operating rules. The format avoids the classic failure: a model imposed by headquarters and never applied on the ground.

When to launch it

• The new operating model was decided in committee but nothing changed on the ground.
• Two merged teams each keep their own rituals and tools.
• Meetings multiply while decisions stall.

How it runs

1. 1

   Framing

   The topics to settle are set from a diagnostic or an existing assessment.

2. 2

   Session cycles

   Three to four cycles of working sessions, with defined participants and facilitators.

3. 3

   Formalization

   The agreed rules are written down, tested over one cycle, then adjusted.

What you get

• Operating rules written and validated by the teams
• Clarified meeting cadence and decision paths
• Minutes of every session, with decisions and owners

What is measured

• Clarity of decisions and their owners
• Perceived effectiveness of governance bodies
• Actual application of the rules from one cycle to the next
• Participant buy-in

Who it is for

Departments and teams that must work together after a merger or a reorganization.
