Find the right Plays for your integration needs

Plays are workshop resources for addressing common integration challenges and starting important conversations.

They are designed to integrate into your workflow, and can be facilitated by any team member at any level.

We believe Plays are worth the time spent because they end up saving time by reducing spin, extra meetings, and confusion.

Plays also save your integrated teams time and energy in the end because they are a common language and way of working. They allow integrated teams to spend their mental fuel on the task at hand instead of wasting it on bespoke ways to approach the task.
