When collaboration becomes frustration These situations happen in every organisation. They're rarely about bad intentions — and almost always about unrecognised differences in how people think. CASE 01 The brainstorm that goes nowhere The team is asked to generate fresh ideas. Half the room keeps building on wild, untested concepts. The other half immediately pokes holes in every suggestion. After 90 minutes, the group has produced nothing — and both sides leave convinced the other simply "doesn't get it." Result: creative deadlock, mutual frustration, and a watered-down compromise nobody owns. CASE 02 The project that freezes under deadline Delivery is two weeks away. The project manager needs decisions — fast. But half the team wants more data before committing. The other half has already moved on to implementation. Meetings go in circles. The PM is caught in the middle, wondering why straightforward decisions feel impossible. Result: delayed decisions, blame, and a team that feels micromanaged or abandoned — depending on who you ask. CASE 03 The workshop where half the group disappears A facilitator runs an energetic, fast-paced session — group activities, rapid-fire sharing, building on each other's ideas. Half the participants are loving it. The other half have gone quiet. They're not disengaged — they're overwhelmed. They needed time to think before being asked to speak. Result: insights from only half the room. The quieter thinkers leave feeling unseen — and take their best ideas with them. CASE 04 The "resistant" team member During a change process, one team member keeps slowing things down — asking for more detail, questioning every step. The coach flags them as resistant. But they're not resisting change. They're processing it differently. They need structure and sequential logic to commit. No one gave them that — so they pushed back on everything. Result: a capable person is sidelined, the team loses their rigour, and the change process is worse for it. None of this is inevitable. It becomes visible — and workable — once you understand problem-solving style. These aren't personality clashes. They're predictable collisions between different but equally valid ways of approaching problems. The VIEW instrument makes those differences visible — so you can work with them instead of around them. THE INSTRUMENT Introducing VIEW VIEW is a validated psychometric instrument developed by Selby, Treffinger & Isaksen. It maps how people prefer to approach problems — and reveals how those preferences intensify when stakes are high and time is tight. Unlike personality tests, VIEW focuses specifically on problem-solving behaviour. It gives coaches, consultants, trainers, facilitators, and project managers a precise, actionable lens for understanding why teams think and decide the way they do — and what to do about it. 🔍 Validated & evidence-based Developed from decades of research in creative problem-solving âš¡ Reveals behaviour under pressure Shows how behaviours shift when stakes are high or time is short 🛠 Immediately applicable Designed for practitioners who work directly with teams 🤝 Non-judgmental by design No style is better than another — diversity is the point 19 JUNE · FREE · ONLINE What happens in the masterclass This is not a webinar.
