Turning Soloists into a Jazz Ensemble

The executive team of a healthcare division was comprised of brand managers and staff function heads who excelled as individual contributors in charge of their own areas but couldn’t come together well as a team.  Team meetings were excruciatingly long exchanges of information, often taking half a day.  With Nova’s training to elevate the level of their discussions, they began taking on substantive issues as a group.  Ideas grew synergistically across the group to the point where they felt they were beginning to function as fluidly and harmoniously as a jazz ensemble, with a 25% reduction in meeting time and better coordination at all levels in the organization.
