A picture of the tensions
Insight into the recurring dynamics and the contexts in which tension grows.
Organisation Tension Scan
Understand tension.
Move your organisation forward.
When differences between teams, management and employees start to undermine collaboration, you need to understand the dynamics before choosing your next move.
The Organisation Tension Scan brings into focus where tension develops, what sustains it and which forces still hold collaboration together. A facilitated analysis grounded in Het Cohesieveld, tailored to your organisation.
For leadership teams, HR, managers and works councils · Scope agreed in advance
When this fits
Something is happening.
You want a clearer picture.
Differences are part of organisational life. The scan helps distinguish productive friction from patterns that erode trust and collaboration, including us-versus-them dynamics.
- Departments increasingly talk about each other rather than with each other.
- A restructure or merger puts trust under pressure.
- The same tensions return, despite conversations and interventions.
- People hold back, take sides or feel unheard.
What you gain
From recurring tension to informed choices.
A picture of cohesion
An understanding of the people, relationships and practices that sustain collaboration.
A direction for action
A cohesion strategy with priorities for what to stop, change and strengthen.
The thinking behind the scan
Tension and cohesion, considered together.
I connect insights into organisational tension with my Cohesion Field approach. Alongside different perspectives, we consider power, dependence and the impact of decisions. My Cohesiekaart helps reveal what sustains connection. The five principles of the Cohesion Field guide the direction of the intervention.
