Common Ground 2026-S85 HVI

Common Ground focuses on the invisible mechanisms that bind a company together. Through a day of reflection and dialogue, we work to strengthen fundamental collaboration by examining all the things we don’t usually talk about. The goal is to create a common thread linking individual experiences to shared agreements that can be felt in everyday life
You will gain a deeper understanding of the company’s “social capital”—including the importance of trust, fairness, and the ability to collaborate. By the end of the course, participants will have transformed the day’s reflections into a concrete “Coffee Contract” with specific agreements on which behaviors to stop, start, and continue to optimize well-being and efficiency.

The day is divided into five modules that guide participants through a process from reflection to action:

• The Invisible Backpack: Focus on settling in and establishing a sense of security through the “Coffee Contract.”
• The Psychological Contract: Dialogue about the informal agreements and expectations we have of one another.
• The driving force of diversity: Examination of the team’s various “manuals” and how individual strengths create synergy.
• Social capital: A concrete assessment of the department’s “invisible currency” (trust and fairness).
• From theory to reality: Translating today’s key points into concrete agreements for the future
