Social interaction

Micro-interventions

Individual improvement

An egocentric approach to the day to day work challenges might not stimulate social interaction. Interaction starts with a centered open mind and the ability to connect to perception and feelings of others. It is easier to stimulate positive interaction when you find time to connect with others and work with a mindset of interdependency. Finding and organizing the right time and place is one of the stimulating factors.

Awareness questions:

What is a possible outcome when working together on this action or topic?
Which people or interactions do stimulate and energize me?
Which possibilities might arise by interacting with others?

Team improvement

Pair up for complex topics and actions
Create an overview of all people involved in the team objective. Which persons need to interact more in order to get a better, faster and more sustainable outcome?

Other interventions

Identify task interdependencies and stimulate interaction to minimize risks.

Use methods for:

Stakeholder analysis
Initiating projects
Setting up roles and responsibilities
