Exploration map · The story the team carries with it

Invisible Team

When being left out of change becomes a disadvantage

Signs to watch for

  • The team has been involved very little in the transformations of recent years.
  • Processes and ways of working have changed less than elsewhere.
  • Comparisons are made with functions seen as more up to date or better listened to.
  • When it comes to AI, distance, caution or the feeling of being out of the game prevail.

In fact, the framework describes a team that has been left on the margins of transformations and has not had the chance to develop familiarity with change.

The biggest challenge to face

Entering change without experiencing the accumulated delay as confirmation of being, once again, ‘the ones who don’t count’.

Possible paths

History does not determine the future, but it can influence the way a team faces a new challenge. Try to notice these possible developments along the path ‘Explore how the team reads the present’.

Team Behind the Door →

If it remains on the margins of change, it may continue to see AI as something that mostly concerns other people.

Breathless Team: undeveloped muscle →

If AI suddenly becomes close and necessary, limited earlier experience of change may turn into a feeling of not having the tools to face it.

Where to focus right away

Recognise the story. Before talking about the future, make room for how the team has experienced being involved so little.

Gradually regain familiarity with change. Small steps, concrete experiences, contact with teams that have already been through similar transformations.

Make the first results visible. The first experiences must allow the team to see, and to show, that it can have a role in the new scenario.

A question to bring to the team

What would help us feel part of this change from the start?

Back to the reflection

This is not a diagnosis. It is one possible lens through which to look at your team. A team may recognise itself in more than one profile.
