Results FocusA group of people come together to produce a product or a service. They might form a new business, a new division or department, or a fresh start for an existing team. They need a process that defines their purpose, the actions necessary to carry out their purpose, and the way they will know that what they are doing is effective.

Team FocusAn existing group, team or business functions well and wants to function better. Individuals experience their own purpose as distinct from that of the group and often as in competition with that of the group for the same attention, resources, and relationships. They require a process that makes the group more than the sum of its parts.

Communication FocusAs a group optimizes the roles of individuals, it requires new ways to talk about what it is doing. Individuals spend less time face-to-face and more time with email, phone calls and reports. Written and spoken language become the primary ways to create the experience of the group and its impact on stakeholders, the market, and the environment.

Focus on Implementation

20


Implementation FocusIn a group whose members are enlivened by their purpose and encouraged by their process, new ideas flow naturally and freely. These ideas provide for the future by challenging the status quo. A group that continuously generates new ideas needs a process that allows it to maintain purpose, communication and key relationships while it changes the way it carries out its work.

24


Strategic FocusAs both a group and its environment evolve, momentum moves faster than process. Individuals and the group may lose their sense of how daily activity fulfills their purpose, and may find it difficult to make necessary distinctions in the absence of clear definitions. A group at this stage will develop strategic thinking - the ability to maintain purpose while stretching or creating process.


Identify goals and outcomes

Develop limits and guiding principles

Calibrate difference and connections

Make short term plans with long term effects

Revisit the ends to know the means

Focus on Resilience

28


Resilience FocusGroups begin by forming the connections necessary internally and externally to fulfill their purpose. Over time, some of these relationships will be strained by conflict or interruption. Groups at this stage need to develop resilience: the ability to respond to challenges and opportunities and bounce back to a focus on purpose and results.

Create multiple levels of agreement

32


Change FocusGroups identify internal and external leverage points that will allow them to optimize their efforts. As both the group and the environment undergo rapid, massive change, individuals experience disorientation. They lose track of how to recognize leverage points and use them. New patterns connect them with stable reference points and the ability to apply minimum force for maximum impact.
