Pattern Work for Teams
Working with patterns over time — not around them
You know something's not working.
Maybe the team can name it. Maybe they can't quite.
But everyone feels it.
You've surfaced some of the tensions. Maybe you've even tried something different.
And still — the old patterns keep showing up.
Not because people don't care.
But because seeing a pattern once doesn't change what the system rewards.
Pattern Work for Teams supports groups ready to stay with what they've already seen — long enough for behaviour to genuinely shift.
This isn't about changing people.
It's about changing what gets rewarded, avoided, or quietly carried.
This work suits teams who:
Keep revisiting the same issues despite good intentions
Want cultural change without scapegoating individuals
Prefer understanding systems over applying quick fixes
Are willing to test, notice, and learn rather than "roll out solutions"
How the work unfolds
This work moves at a human pace — fast enough to stay real, slow enough to be honest.
It typically runs over 6–8 weeks and includes:
Commissioning & Pre-Work
Readiness conversations, purpose alignment, contextual design. Optional purpose clarification if the "why" has become fuzzy or contested.Workshop 1 — Seeing the Threads (4 hours)
Surface shadow and signal patterns using Nimacor™. Map what happens under pressure vs what becomes possible when conditions shift. Design small, real experiments to test in everyday work.Experiment Period — The Tension Bridge (2 weeks)
Test new ways of responding inside real constraints. Track what shifts, resists, or surprises. Optional midpoint check-in for recalibration.Workshop 2 — Weaving the Change (4 hours)
Reflect on experiments and update shared understanding. Strengthen signal patterns that emerged. Make individual and collective commitments. Choose how (or whether) to continue.
What happens after
Some teams finish here and continue on their own.
Others want support to keep the work alive.
We design that together — monthly sessions, handover to internal facilitation, or a single integration session before you decide what's next.
Nothing is prescribed. The work adapts to what you're ready for.
