UGRs, unwritten ground rules

Get started

What are UGRs?

Unwritten Ground Rules, or UGRs, are people's perception of 'this is the way we do things around here'.

UGRs drive behaviour. Understanding the ones at play in a team or across a company gives real insight into how an organisation works: helpful ones to protect, unhelpful ones to examine.

  1. Take stock

    Team members complete a UGRs Stock Take survey, describing the ground rules they experience day to day.

  2. Rate the impact

    Each ground rule is rated as having a positive, neutral or negative impact.

  3. Report and act

    Results come back as clear reports and exports, ready to guide the conversation about what to change.
