Why Teams Get Stuck — And How Partnering Breaks Through
Teams often drift into misalignment, conflicting priorities, hidden tension, or stalled execution. Vision is clear — yet people move in parallel, deliver on different terms, or resist change. This stagnation bleeds time, culture, and focus.
A Partnering Day interrupts that cycle. It’s a facilitated day built to reset the relational field, surface the real tensions, and co-design the way forward — so your team moves as one machine, not a collection of silos. Send us an email with your project parameters and schedule, then set up a discovery call.

Decision Tree Worksheet - Your Guide to Gold
Decision Ladder (fast, fair decisions in ≤24 hours)
Principles
-
Decide at the lowest competent level.
-
Timebox every step (hours, not days).
-
If blocked, auto-escalate—don’t linger.
5 rungs
-
Clarify (0–2h): Requester states the decision needed, options (A/B), impact, and deadline.
-
Owner Decide (≤24h): Named Decision Owner picks A/B (or C) and documents the why.
-
Peer Review (optional, +4h): One relevant peer sanity-checks risk/fit; no committee.
-
Escalate (auto, +12h): If Owner can’t decide, it jumps to the next role on the chart (PM → Director → Sponsor).
-
Communicate & Commit (0–2h): Post the decision to the team channel + action owner + due date.
Rules of engagement
-
No decision “parked” without a time; every item has an owner and deadline.
-
Disagreements are logged as assumptions to test, not reasons to stall.
-
Reversibility matters: Type 2 (reversible) decisions bias to speed; Type 1 (hard to reverse) get an extra peer check—still within the 24h window.
Ready to Partner? Let’s Get Started
Spaces are limited (we only run a few Partnering Days each quarter).
If you’re ready to break through, align your team, and move with clarity — let’s schedule a discovery call.
Zen put our partnering session together in a very compressed timeframe. He did a wonderful job of getting all of the involved participants on the same page so the we can work as a team for the successful project outcome. I look forwward to working with him in the future.
Zen is an exceptionally well qualified facilitator and manager of group processes. He is very effective watching group participants to ensure they are engaged and draws people into the process. He is very open, an excellent communicator and I enjoy working with him. His experience and education make him an excellent choice for leading groups to consensus and goal accomplishment.
