Group alchemy is a learned skill.

A Cultural Solution

It is a simple and important fact that all groups of people who interact routinely develop a unique culture. That culture can support your success or it can detract from it.

Our twenty years of research shows that there are particular practices that keep a group of people working together optimally. Every group can improve its results by developing habits and group customs from these practices. This set of core practices makes up the Formula for Group Alchemy™.

inspiration, agreements, accountability,
acknowledgment, renewal and mastery

These are practices that everyone can learn and that the group must cultivate together. Each of the six elements of the formula have distinct perspectives and practices that contribute to creating a culture of success in groups.

Our programs take your group through a series of exercises so that you establish your own  practices in each element of the formula. You gain mastery in how groups work best and in creating the culture in your group that unequivocally supports your success.

With your unique cultural chemistry in place, everyone is attuned to your purpose and the particular ways of working together that maximize your capabilities.
Anything you decide you want to do is possible. You are tapping into the full wisdom and power of your group.

Powerful groups don’t just happen; they are consciously created.
Every group can improve its success with this formula, no matter what size or current situation.

 

“Our work with groups over many years has convinced us that all groups possess far more capability than they actually utilize. The group or organization itself often gets in the way of the members bringing their full talents to bear. The question that drives our work is “How do we create groups that are capable of sustaining success over the long haul, no matter who is in the group and no matter what happens in the environment?” We find that a cultural approach to this question provides the best pathway to a better way of working.“  read more
