TEAM WHEEL KEY DIMENSIONS | Common Purpose & Shared Goals
Establishing a clear common purpose and shared goals is foundational to effective teaming.
Corentus offers a suite of team tools within the Common Purpose & Shared Goals dimension of the Team Wheel, designed to help leaders and teams align around a unified direction and set of outcomes.
Have you, or leaders or team members you work with, ever asked, “Why should we unite as a team?” or “What are we trying to accomplish together?”
These questions point to the foundation of effective teaming: a shared purpose that drives motivation, engagement, and focus throughout the team’s life cycle.
Please explore the tools and approaches within this focus area and consider whether it's the right fit for your team. We look forward to partnering with you and helping you solve what matters most.

Main Team Tool: Work Products Methodolody
Every team creates work products that must be managed and brought to completion to achieve its common purpose. Teams often approach their collective work in a consistent, ad hoc manner. Our Work Products Methodology is a systematic process for defining specific pieces of work and using team resources to get that work done. Through discussion, interactive activities, and case studies, participants gain the skills to apply this powerful methodology in their own work.
