Team alignment workshops
Team alignment workshops create time and structure for teams to think together, clarify what matters, and move forward with shared understanding. They’re especially useful when teams are growing, priorities are shifting, or ways of working need to be refreshed.
I’m Nick Praulins, and I facilitate alignment workshops that balance participation with clear outcomes so the session feels human, focused, and genuinely useful.
What a team alignment workshop supports
Teams often use alignment workshops to:
clarify priorities and focus areas
surface constraints and risks early
strengthen ways of working and expectations
reduce friction across roles or functions
build shared language for decisions and trade-offs
What good looks like
A strong alignment workshop doesn’t aim for perfect agreement. It creates:
clearer shared understanding of the situation
decisions (or decision paths) that are explicit
a few meaningful agreements teams can carry into daily work
next steps with ownership and follow-through
How I design these sessions
Alignment is rarely achieved by talking more. It comes from good structure.
Workshops typically include:
Purpose first: what we’re aligning on, what’s open, and how decisions will be made
Sense-making before deciding: understanding the situation before jumping to solutions
Participation that protects quieter voices: individual reflection → small groups → whole room
Consent-based alignment: “Can you live with this?” rather than chasing full consensus
Follow-through: a short summary and clear ownership after the session
Format & delivery
Sessions can be delivered online or in person, as:
short workshops (90–120 minutes)
half-day sessions
full-day workshops or offsites
Group size, format, and focus are agreed in advance and adapted to your context.
Who’s it for?
Often useful for:
leadership teams
cross-functional teams
distributed or international teams
teams navigating change, growth, or role shifts
organisations that want alignment without over-management
FAQs
-
Sometimes. It can support strategy, but it can also focus on ways of working, decision-making, or team clarity. We design it to fit your need.
-
Not necessarily. The workshops are designed to support clarity and momentum, without forcing artificial agreement.
-
Typically a clear summary of what the team aligned on, what remains open, and what happens next, so the workshop becomes a chapter in ongoing work, not an isolated event.
