Overview
Why this workshop
Your teams are talented, but trust, clarity and collaboration habits decide whether talent becomes results. NOVA Team Synergy fuses the NOVA Team Profile with battle-tested team models (Team Dysfunctions, Tuckman stages and SCARF).
The workshop converts insights into new team norms, decision clarity and execution routines that you can see, feel and do. It is not a workshop, it is a system upgrade for how your teams decide, deliver and grow.

Format and duration
How the learning journey works
Pre
Personalized insight, zero friction
Each participant completes the NOVA Profile (20 minutes, online) through a unique link, giving instant, high-trust data on Natural versus Adapted style, collaboration strengths and stress cues.
During
Two days, high immersion, real work
Short, sharp inputs plus two 2-hour flagship simulations. Teams leave with a Decision-Clarity Canvas, a Handoff Contract and Team Norms they will actually use next week.
Post
A 1:1 debrief that moves the needle
A NOVA-certified debriefer (60 minutes each) helps every participant translate insights into two micro-habits, a stretch role and a 90-day plan. Leaders can also receive a consolidated team view.
