Team Alignment Lab
From Company Values to Everyday Behaviour
Your company has defined its values. But how do they come to life within your team?
Company values provide a shared foundation for how an organisation wants to work, communicate and collaborate. Yet, people may interpret the same values differently, and the connection between what a company stands for and what happens in everyday working life is not always clear.
The Team Alignment Lab is a facilitated team coaching workshop that helps teams explore their company's existing core values, reflect on how these values show up in their daily interactions, and identify opportunities to bring them more consistently into practice.
Through structured reflection, interactive exercises and guided team conversations, participants gain a deeper understanding of one another's perspectives, explore real workplace situations and develop a shared understanding of what the company’s values look like in action.
Rather than being told how the team should work, participants are supported in finding their own answers, recognising different perspectives and turning their discussions into practical commitments.
What will your team gain?
Shared understanding: Explore what the company's core values mean to team members and how they can be interpreted in practice.
Greater awareness: Reflect on how everyday behaviours, communication and decisions support or challenge those values.
Stronger collaboration: Create space for different perspectives, assumptions and experiences to be discussed constructively.
Practical agreements: Translate company values into clear, observable behaviours that guide everyday interactions and ways of working.
Meaningful commitments: Identify concrete actions the team can take to bring its values to life.
How does it work?
The workshop guides your team through four stages:
- Understand the Values – Explore the company's existing core values and what they mean to the team.
- Explore Everyday Behaviour – Reflect on real situations where the values are visible, difficult to apply or interpreted differently.
- Build Shared Understanding – Use guided dialogue and team coaching to uncover perspectives, assumptions and opportunities for alignment.
- Turn Values into Action – Agree on practical behaviours and commitments that the team can put into practice immediately.
What is included?
A 30-minute briefing with the team sponsor to understand the organisational context and objectives.
Tailored preparation based on your company's core values and the team's needs.
A facilitated, three-hour interactive team coaching workshop.
A Core Values in Action team agreement, capturing shared interpretations, practical behaviours and agreed commitments.
A 30-minute follow-up conversation with the sponsor to reflect on the outcomes and discuss possible next steps.
Who is it for?
The Team Alignment Lab is designed for teams that want to strengthen collaboration, communication and shared understanding by connecting their company's values with the way they work together.
It is suitable for management teams, departments and cross-functional teams, whether they are newly formed or have worked together for years.
The outcome
Your team leaves with more than a conversation about values. It leaves with a clearer shared understanding of what those values mean in practice, practical agreements for everyday behaviour, and commitments the team can use as a foundation for working together.
Bring your company's values to life, one conversation and one behaviour at a time.
Benefits
What the team takes away
The workshop should result in a practical Core Values in Action team agreement containing:
-
A shared interpretation of the company's core values.
-
Examples of how the values can be demonstrated through everyday behaviour.
-
Areas where the team wants to strengthen alignment.
-
Specific commitments for how team members will work together.
-
Agreed actions for putting those commitments into practice.
The company retains its existing values. The team develops a clearer understanding of how to live them.

About the Host
I am Mads Guldhammer, a Certified Transformative Coach with a professional background in HR, people management, finance and operations. Having worked across different organisational environments, I understand both the business challenges teams face and the human dynamics that influence how people communicate, collaborate and perform. My interest in coaching comes from my curiosity about people: what drives us, what holds us back, and how our assumptions, behaviours and ways of communicating shape our relationships with others. I believe teams often have more potential than they realise, and that unlocking it starts with creating space for reflection, honest conversations and new perspectives. My team coaching focuses on helping management teams and employee teams strengthen trust, communication, collaboration, engagement and shared responsibility. I believe a team's culture is shaped by everyone in it, not only those in formal management positions. I help teams explore the patterns that influence how they work together, including unspoken expectations, assumptions, avoided conversations, differences in perspective and the tendency for responsibility to fall on a few individuals. By bringing these topics into the conversation, teams can develop a clearer understanding of what is working, what is holding them back and what they want to change. My approach is collaborative and practical. Rather than arriving with ready-made answers, I facilitate conversations that help teams define shared goals, challenge perspectives constructively and take ownership of their way of working together.
I use frameworks such as The Four Agreements, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, the Enneagram, Team Charters, and Vision and Mission work as tools for reflection and development, adapting my approach to the team's needs and objectives.
As a coach, I am warm, curious, attentive and direct when needed. I aim to create a safe and respectful environment where people can speak openly, challenge assumptions and address difficult topics without blame. I encourage people to look beyond individual behaviour and understand the wider patterns influencing the team. My HR background allows me to connect these human dynamics with organisational realities, keeping the focus on meaningful and sustainable change rather than theory alone. Ultimately, I help teams build stronger relationships, communicate more effectively, make clearer decisions, share responsibility and create a working environment where everyone has a voice and can contribute to the team's collective success. My goal is not simply to help a team work through its current challenges, but to strengthen its ability to navigate future challenges together.
