PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Secret Language of Cross-functional Teaming: Getting on the Same Page to Deliver Results

Presenter: Ellen L. Moran, Ph.D

As OD practitioners, we are called not only to help align members within a team but also to create collaboration across functional groups.  Interdependent teams can have very different perspectives on the same goal.  We hear comments like, “We’re just not on the same page with this” or “We don’t speak the same language, we’re just talking past each other.”  In this session, we will explore the foundational concepts of the LAB Profile, a method to decode some of the common, below-conscious disconnects in people’s perceptions and prescribe the right way to construct messages. Then we will practice using these concepts to employ strategies that create deeper rapport, understanding and the ability to work together constructively.

This session will enable you to:

  • Understand the brain science that underlies protect versus connect experiences between people and functions.
  • Decode the motivational patterns of different functions and how they are expressed in language.
  • Learn how to construct messages that build openness to each function’s point of view.
  • Analyze a personal example of a cross-functional disconnect and the language to use in building mutual understanding and cooperation.
