The learning journey
1 · See the whole workflow
Trace a task across teams and identify where assumptions, delays and duplicated effort occur.
2 · Understand before responding
Use listening and clarifying questions to explore priorities, pressures and missing information.
3 · Have the conversation that matters
Practise a cross-team discussion: establish the shared goal, describe the gap and make a clear request.
4 · Make collaboration visible
Build a simple working agreement covering owners, information, deadlines and escalation routes.
