For organisations and teams
Team in Flow
Discover what sets people in motion and how to make use of differences within teams. With Team in Flow you apply the DEaLflow Method to collaboration, development and shared results. Facilitated by certified DEaLflow professionals.
From gap to flow.
Wherever people work together, differences emerge. In perspective, ambition, generation, pace and approach. That needn't be a problem. It is often precisely in those differences that the room to move forward lies.
Team in Flow reveals where things rub, where energy is created and what it takes to move forward together.
Not from a standard programme, but from a single question:
What does the challenge call for?
Where is your team getting stuck?
- Energy drains away in meetings
- People no longer move together
- Irritations stay below the surface
- Pace and approach clash
- Good intentions, little movement
- Teams work past each other
- Differences in pace and approach cause delays
- Collaboration stalls between departments
The problem rarely lies in the content, but in how people move and work together.
What is Team in Flow
Team in Flow is a practical application of the DEaLflow Method within teams and organisations. It starts with insight: where is the team right now, and what does it need to get moving again?
The method creates a safe environment in which the conversation is about behaviour, not about the person. By speaking in terms of energy and movement, it becomes almost impossible to make it personal. That makes it safe to look honestly at what is really happening.
Before the team programme starts, each team member individually completes the DEaLflow® Analysis. It maps personal directions of movement: the preferred flows and the flows that lie further from your natural preference. Everyone can use all eight flows; some movements simply call for more conscious adaptation. Your own DEaLkite also becomes visible: the personal force field of behaviour, with the talent field, the strength zone, the resistance zone and the adaptation zone with flow zone. Every team member receives a complete report.

The Teamflow banner
Pin down behaviour, not labels
No labels, but insight into behaviour and movement.
How does the Teamflow banner work?
The Teamflow banner maps the team systemically and safely, with the conversation always focused on behaviour. We start with the reason, the context or the team goal. That gives direction: every behavioural insight is linked directly to what is really going on.
That is what makes the model unique. Alongside individual and team insights, it creates an immediate link to the context and a framework for deeper conversation, both with the individual through the DEaLkite and with the team as a whole. The result is understanding at a deeper level, without it becoming personal.
Preferred Flows
Insight into the movements the team naturally uses, and which flows call for more conscious adaptation.
Strengths & pitfalls
Revealing where the team's strength lies, and where blind spots emerge.
Reinforcement & friction
Recognising where team members strengthen each other and where tension or resistance arises.
From insight to depth
The starting point for programmes on feedback, ownership, collaboration or leadership.
Who is Team in Flow for?
Organisations that want to strengthen collaboration
HR and L&D professionals who want to open up conversations about behaviour
Management teams that want to create momentum
Project organisations that get stuck in team dynamics
Where does your question lie?
Team in Flow is always applied within a concrete context.
How does your team fit the challenge?
Every team has something to do. Delivering a project, implementing a change, collaborating under pressure or sharing responsibility for a complex challenge.
But what does that challenge ask of the team? And what happens to people while they work on it?
Team in Flow reveals how people look at the challenge, how the team gets moving and what that asks of each individual in terms of energy. Not to put people in boxes, but to understand together what is happening and to give it a language.
Seeing
From which perspective do we look at our challenge?
People don't automatically look at their work from the same perspective. One person focuses more readily on what needs to happen today, while another looks sooner at coherence, progress or the longer term.
With KiteView we make these natural perspectives visible: Detail, Focus, Overview, Interconnection and Panorama. None is better than another. Not a level, capability or label, but the starting point from which someone most easily begins to look.
What do we see naturally? What do others see sooner? And what does our challenge ask of our perspective?
Moving
How do we move while working on the challenge?
From seeing, people move to doing. Natural movements emerge in a team: achieving results, finding solutions, innovating, experiencing, connecting, supporting, exploring content and organising processes.
With Team Flow we reveal which verbs and movements come easily, which the team uses a lot or little, and what the challenge actually needs.
What do we do naturally? Where might we linger too long? And which movement does the situation call for now?
Energy
What does that do to the people who have to do it?
Not every movement costs everyone the same amount of energy. What feels natural to one person may require sustained adaptation from another.
With the DEaLkite we explore where someone can contribute from natural strength, where switching is quite possible and where the challenge structurally requires a lot of adaptation.
What can people carry easily? Where does it cost energy? And what is needed to keep contributing effectively and sustainably?
One continuous movement
From challenge to insight, movement and results. And back again.
What does the challenge call for?
Context, goals and what needs to be done.

Lasting results
Several cycles over time, so the team keeps learning and moving, and the impact becomes embedded in everyday practice.
A language that lasts
Team in Flow doesn't just provide insight on the day itself. It creates a shared language that teams can keep using at work to discuss what is happening.
Not this
“That's just the way you are.”
But this
- “I think we're looking at this from different perspectives.”
- “We're very much in the Process Flow. What else does this situation call for?”
- “I notice this movement is asking more and more adaptation from me.”
That way, differences are less likely to become personal judgements. The team develops a shared language to explore what is happening, where things rub and what the challenge calls for.
Three ways to work with us
Choose the approach that matches where your team is right now.
What suits your team?
No two teams and no two challenges are the same. In an introductory conversation we explore what is going on and which approach fits best. From an initial Team Scan to an in-depth Team Programme.
Team Scan
Gain a clear view of what the team brings and where potential points of attention lie
A clear report showing how the team sees, moves and where energy is created or leaks away. We link this directly to the challenge the team is facing.
- Insight into KiteView Perspectives, movements and energy within the team
- Visibility of where the team has plenty of capacity and where things rub
- Points of attention linked to the team's concrete challenge
Outcome
Quickly clear where things rub, and why
Team Day
Seeing, moving and experiencing together, based on the real challenge
A live session in which the team works with the Teamflow banner. The team analysis is linked to the challenge and translated into conversation and concrete choices. Gamification and practical assignments can be used as working methods.
- Behaviour becomes visible through the Teamflow banner
- Simulations and exercises bring patterns to light
- With a more extensive approach, the day is prepared using individual DEaLflow analyses and conversations
Outcome
The team sees itself as it really functions
Team Programme
For teams that want more than insight and are ready to move with purpose
A fully facilitated programme that brings everything together: from making things visible to genuinely breaking through. Not just gaining insight, but trying things in practice, reflecting and moving again.
- Breaking patterns in collaboration and communication
- Changing behaviour in practice by trying and reflecting
- Making agreements that last
Themes
Outcome
Collaboration that doesn't slip back into old habits
From team to organisation
Team in Flow can be used with a single team, but also more broadly across organisations.
- Deployable across multiple teams
- Suitable for departments and projects
- Can be combined into an organisation-wide approach
Working with the DEaLflow team makes it possible to scale up without losing quality or approach.
