strategise / resetting after change
TLDR
A tailored reset that helps a team understand the change they’ve been through, take ownership of what it means for their work, and agree practical ways of working that fit their new reality.
When a team goes through change, the practical implications are not always explored in enough depth. New structures, revised priorities or updated roles may be introduced clearly at a high level, but the finer detail of what this means for day-to-day work can be left unevenly understood. Expectations may shift without being fully discussed, and people can form different assumptions about what the change requires in practice.
In situations where the change has involved unsettling elements - such as redundancies, re-interviewing into roles or significant restructuring - the team may not have had the opportunity to reflect openly on what happened. When these experiences are left unspoken, people can carry unresolved reactions that affect morale and wellbeing, and these can surface later in ways that influence collaboration, day-to-day working and ultimately the success of the change process itself.
This programme creates a structured open environment for the team to explore the change together and take ownership of what it means for their work going forward. It begins with a short tailored assessment to understand what has shifted, how people perceive those shifts and where clarity or support is most needed. Whether the change involves a new strategy, a restructure, a new leader, role changes or a combination of these, the programme is shaped around the team’s actual experience rather than a generic model.
The workshop then uses this insight to help the team build shared understanding, clarify expectations, strengthen coordination and agree practical adjustments to how they work. The focus is on giving the team the clarity and confidence to operate effectively within the new reality, anchored in their own context.

-
Discovery
A short pre-workshop questionnaire or conversations to understand what has changed, how people perceive it and where clarity, pressure points or gaps in expectations lie. This shapes the workshop design and supports shared ownership of what the change now requires.
Workshop
A facilitated one-day session, delivered face-to-face or virtually, focused on understanding the implications of the change, clarifying expectations and agreeing practical ways of working.
Optional add-onsGC Index Team View
Supports clearer conversations about contribution and ownership of delivery. All team members go through individual assessments that are then combined into a team view.
Virtual follow-up session
A structured 2-hour virtual session, taking place a month after the workshop, to review progress and reinforce the team’s collective ownership of the agreed ways of working.
