Find out how well your team is working with our Teamwork Assessment.

It's not where you work, it's how you work that matters.

The Mural System, our holistic approach to problem solving and team improvement, establishes five factors for great teamwork.

Make
creatively

Great teams endeavor, in earnest, to imagine, envision, brainstorm, illustrate, formulate, strategize, and design. They do so with a generative and open mindset.

Understand
thoroughly

Great teams consistently reflect, recognize, consider, interpret, analyze, perceive, discern, and discover. They do so in rigorous and insightful ways.

Relate
authentically

Great teams are able to connect, resonate, include, accept, belong, bond, empathize, align, and cooperate. They do so with compassion and integrity.

Advance
collectively

Great teams discipline themselves to align, plan, implement, iterate, develop, execute, produce, and adapt. They do so in the name of demonstrable progress.

Listen
carefully

Great teams hone their ability to observe, sense, notice, inquire, research, survey, test, detect, and be aware. They do so with curiosity and openness.
