The 2 days provided the foundation that was needed for the team to meet in person, map out their capabilities and preferred ways of working together while at the same time building hope and inspiration within the team.
The Challenge
Laura Gallindo recently joined Grundfos in the role of Strategic Marketing Communications Director .
As Laura embarked on a new role with a new team and a new company, her hope was to bring everyone together in person and provide space for them to get to know each other as people and begin to gain clarity around their purpose and vision – time and space for them all to think out loud and become more connected as human beings.
Collaboration
Laura and Annyse joined forces to create an agenda and provide the means for the team to begin to build their own identity in the marketing function and the larger Grundfos community.
Co-created solution
The 2 days provided the foundation that was needed for the team to meet in person, map out their capabilities and preferred ways of working together while at the same time building hope and inspiration within the team.
Using the medicine wheel tool, they focused on their purpose, values and vision. Starting at “Purpose” encourages the team to start with the question “Why” before getting to the what and the how. Answering the “Why” provides clarity around what the team is fulfilling collectively and creates a solid foundation for working together as a cohesive team.
The Results
The team began the work of crafting their purpose, values and vision and left feeling energized and with lots of learnings to apply and practice as they fuel their own growth mindset.
Ever since Grundfos’s founding in 1945, they remain driven to make water more accessible and reliable, to reduce energy waste and increase efficiency.
“The effect of these couple of days are engrained in our DNA and hearts. We have been utilizing all the energy, trust and commitment to take our team to where it belongs: be seen as impactful and co-creative with an open mind while writing our own narrative”.
