Uncovering Hidden Misalignment in Team Communication
A research team struggled with unclear roles and trust.
We clarified decision rights and rebuilt shared norms.
Outcome: streamlined workflows, cohesive delivery.
Client A university research team.
Challenge Workshops and tools did not fix communication breakdowns. Tension rose and progress stalled.
What we measured
Team communication across four dimensions: consolidation, clarity, consistency and collaboration. The profile showed sharp differences in how people perceived communication, from integrated and cohesive to fragmented and vague.
What we did
Exposed unseen communication biases with simple visuals
Built a shared definition of effective communication that everyone could use
Ran targeted sessions to strengthen collaboration, transparency and trust
Impact
Communication silos eliminated
A common framework adopted by the team
Conflict reduced. Confidence and cohesion increased
What they learned
“We were not failing to communicate. We were failing to understand.”
