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.”
