Individuals and their interactions are more important than processes and tools. The focus here is on people and direct exchange is seen as more essential than formalisms. Team members are characterized by different personality and character traits. Your communication behavior is also strongly influenced by your roles in the team.

The environment is very important for the extent to which the resources and potential of the individual team members develop. The core culture in the team, as deeply internalized, shared basic assumptions, thought patterns and long-term values (value systems), determines how the team thinks and acts. It becomes visible through behavior, communication, decisions and actions. It is crucial for success to create a motivating culture in the team, which enables all members of the team to be encouraged to develop their full potential.

The focus is on eight future-oriented meta-competence fields for high-performance and agile teams of today. The central question is: "What competencies as a team will we need in the future and where do we stand today?" With this analysis, GAPs between new, future-oriented requirements for the team on the one hand and the actually "lived" agile attitude, speed, adaptability and customer focus on the other hand, become recognizable and discussable cooperatively.
