The 90-Minute New Team Kickoff Workshop

Starting a new project? Align goals and set working norms fast with this structured kickoff.

About this session

New teams often waste the first few weeks of a project navigating unstated expectations and conflicting priorities. This ninety-minute session forces those assumptions into the open, resulting in a documented set of team norms and a shared understanding of what success looks like for the upcoming work.

Why it works

The four-step sequence moves the conversation from abstract goals to specific, actionable commitments that every team member helps define. By documenting decisions in real-time, the process eliminates the ambiguity that often leads to project delays and internal friction.

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
