What should cooperation look like?
Exemplifying, Helping or Contributing?
In business, clearly defined arrangements are key, especially in the role of supporting others. It is easy to cross the line between collaborating and bailing out, leading to unclear expectations and a lack of accountability. Effective contracting allows you to define the scope of your activities precisely, avoid misunderstandings and support your company's goals. In Transactional Analysis, the contract is the foundation of any conscious collaboration and change - it is the tool that enables effective and satisfying work. It ensures that each participant in the process knows where he or she stands, allowing trust and healthy working relationships to be built.
Improve team effectiveness through communication and collaboration
Effective communication is the foundation of teamwork - it allows you to carry out any project, better solve problems and achieve your goals faster. Under the guidance of an experienced coach or advisorsparticipants develop the key interpersonal communication competence, learning how to clearly transfer information, inspire others and improve their approach to cooperation. Through the exercises group and practical examples from the field of management or customer service, both managersas well as employees at various levels gain skills that really enhance the quality of relationships and the effectiveness of the entire team.
The training is based on the practical use of Transactional Analysis, in which the contract is the foundation for conscious collaboration, change and effective team performance. Participants learn how to move from vague agreements and complaints to concrete contracts that support the organisation's goals.

Frequently asked questions
Since the pandemic, we make 1 online appointment - usually with the HR Manager (HRBP) and the manager of the team/area concerned (leader, director respectively).
This meeting primarily serves to understand the client's situation, context and needs analysis.
Yes. You will receive a certificate of completion of the training.
The method of financing the training is agreed on an individual basis as part of a jointly developed training contract. Usually a VAT invoice with a 14-day payment period is issued after each activity carried out for the client.
Most often, training takes place at the client's premises. However, we also have a training room ourselves, which we can also make available within the framework of an agreed training contract.
The main objective of the training is to develop communication skills and practical tools for effective communication and collaboration. Participants learn how to clearly define the rules of interaction in order to build good relationships and increase the level of motivation and commitment in the team.
The training is delivered both in a classroom format and as an interactive online training course. It also offers an intensive 2-day workshop where participants work on case studies and develop the skills needed for everyday work and project management.
After attending the training, participants gain the knowledge and skills necessary to consciously contract collaborations, improve team building skills and develop soft skills such as verbal communication, stress management and open communication. The training inspires change and helps to achieve better results through greater professionalism and quality of business relationships.
The programme is delivered by experienced business trainers, consultants and business practitioners, who often specialise in the area of team building and have extensive experience and skills in working with leaders and organisations. Some of them are currently in the process of Master Business Training certification, which guarantees the highest level of content knowledge and training results.
Collaborative contracting is the process of consciously setting the rules for action between individuals or teams. It is not just about defining a task, but about clear agreement:
- the purpose of cooperation,
- responsibilities,
- mode of communication,
- success criteria,
- principles for responding to difficulties and change.
In Transactional Analysis, the contract is an essential tool for effective collaboration, building trust and increasing accountability and commitment within the team.
During the training, participants will learn about the three levels of contract that determine the effectiveness of collaboration.
Procedural level - what we do and how we do it
At this level, specific tasks, responsibilities, deadlines and method of implementation are established. This is the organisational foundation of the collaboration, which eliminates chaos and misunderstandings.
Professional level - who is responsible for what
This level deals with responsibility, competence and role in the team. Through it, participants learn to be clear about the boundaries of their role and to avoid situations of de-emphasising or shifting responsibility.
Psychological level - why we cooperate and what we expect
The deepest level of the contract involves motivation, commitment and mutual expectations. It is this level that determines the real commitment of the team and the quality of the collaboration.
The training helps to address key issues that occur in organisations, such as:
- unclear expectations of employees,
- lack of accountability for results,
- conflicts arising from unspecified arrangements,
- Excessive bail-out of employees by leaders,
- a decrease in the commitment and effectiveness of the team,
- difficulties in delegating tasks.
Contracting allows you to move from vague expectations to concrete arrangements that support the effective operation of the team and the achievement of business objectives.
HR and organisational development specialists
The training supports building a culture of accountability, clear rules and effective collaboration in the organisation.
Leaders and managers
Participants learn to delegate tasks effectively, clearly define expectations and increase team accountability.
Project teams
The training helps to structure collaboration, improve communication and make project delivery more effective.
Organisations undergoing change or development
Contracting enables effective implementation of change and increased efficiency of teams.
On completion of the training, participants will be able to:
- conclude effective cooperation contracts,
- clearly define responsibilities,
- delegate tasks effectively,
- move from complaining to concrete arrangements,
- identify and eliminate ambiguities in the findings,
- build commitment and responsibility within the team,
- conduct contracting interviews in a professional manner,
- increase the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation.
Participants gain practical tools for diagnosing and working with a team and learn how to consciously build collaboration in an organisation.
The training programme covers the key areas necessary for successful contracting:
Foundations of contracting
- what a contract is in business and psychological terms,
- a model for diagnosing cooperation in an organisation,
- identification of problems in relationships and processes.
Contractual stages
- the process of creating an effective contract,
- team and organisational diagnostic tools,
- conducting contact calls.
Key elements of an effective contract
- ironclad elements of any contract,
- dual and multilateral contracts,
- establishing responsibilities and scopes of action.
Working with difficult situations
- moving from complaints to a concrete agreement,
- responding to conflicts and difficult situations,
- intervening in situations of ambiguity and psychological games.
The programme is based on practical exercises, case studies and tools used in real organisations.
Clear agreements are the foundation of effective cooperation. The absence of a contract leads to misunderstandings, conflicts and a decrease in effectiveness. Contracting allows roles, boundaries and expectations to be clearly defined, which increases team effectiveness and the quality of collaboration.
It is a key competency for leaders, HR and organisations that want to act consciously and effectively.
Training can be provided:
- in the form of on-site workshops,
- as online training,
- as a closed programme for organisations,
- in the form of an intensive workshop based on case study work.
The format of the training is tailored to the needs of the organisation and the participants.
