When everyone on a team understands where it's headed and why, people pull in the same direction, make better decisions day to day, and see how their own work connects to the larger goal. In this session, teams will use the Why, What, and How frame to step back from the daily work and see the full plan together: the strategic objectives driving it, how the team is structured, and the program plans across sites. The focus will be connecting broad objectives to each person's actual role, showing how the pieces fit together across the team, and making sure everyone can answer not just what the plan is, but why it matters and where they fit. Team members will leave with a shared understanding of the team's direction, a clear sense of their own contribution, and the context they need to dig into their detailed site plans.
