​

What is a Playbook?

  • As in sport, a Playbook is ‘a book’ containing the ‘plays’ that will help us to work together as a team to win at whatever game we're playing.

  • Playbooks are designed as a tool to enable teams to gain a common understanding and approach to the ‘plays’, we need to apply to be successful.

  • These Playbooks include layers of nuance that allow understanding to emerge with deliberate practice.  Teams may not understand why a practice is being adopted in a particular way until they have been practicing it for a while.

  • Playbooks provide a consistent way to START utilising a practice, as a deeper understanding emerges, the Team will adapt the Playbook to suit their circumstances, at this point, they have made it their own and innovation flourishes.

​​
