The Collaboration Friction Audit Workshop

Working together feels like a chore? Identify and remove the friction in your workflows.

About this session

When everyday tasks feel unnecessarily difficult, it is usually because of invisible hurdles in how a team communicates or shares information. This session moves beyond general venting to help groups identify specific friction points in their current workflows and agree on immediate, practical adjustments to remove them.

Why it works

The process works by isolating the mechanics of daily work from the personalities involved, allowing teams to critique their systems without assigning blame. By moving from individual friction logs to collective decision-making, it creates a direct link between identifying a bottleneck and implementing a solution.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for

Team Leaders, HR Professionals
