Team Charter Workshop
Get your team on the same page and keep them there. Misalignment rarely announces itself. It shows up quietly in slow decisions, repeated conversations, and friction that nobody quite names. This workshop brings it into the open and fixes it.
Format
Half-day or full-day
Group Size
5 – 12 participants
Trusted by teams that believe in better
About This Workshop
Alignment doesn’t happen by accident.
Most teams know roughly where they’re going. Far fewer have explicitly agreed on how they’ll get there together — what they value, how they’ll make decisions, what success looks like, and how they’ll handle disagreement. That gap costs teams time, trust and momentum every single week.
This workshop creates the alignment. Through a structured process, teams leave with a written charter that actually reflects how they want to work, not a document that was copied from a template and forgotten in a shared drive.
WHAT GETS COVERED
A workshop that defines how your team operates
Team purpose & direction
Why this team exists, what it’s accountable for, and how that connects to the wider organisation.
Decision rights
Who decides what, how decisions get made, and what escalation actually looks like in practice.
Conflict & accountability
How disagreements are handled constructively and how the team holds itself accountable to agreements.
Values & working agreements
What the team genuinely believes in and the specific behaviours that bring those values to life.
Communication norms
How the team stays aligned between meetings, gives feedback, and surfaces concerns early.
Definition of good leadership
What great looks like for this team in terms of both results, and how they’re achieved.
