Rewrite the patterns that are limiting the team.
Team ReScript is a one-day experiential team reset for intact teams that have plateaued, fractured, or are caught in recurring patterns that talk, facilitated conversations, and goodwill have not resolved. The programme operates from a single premise: most team dysfunction is not a capability problem. It is a scripts problem. Every team develops invisible interaction patterns, ego-state defaults, and role assignments that function as an operating system below the level of awareness. Team ReScript surfaces that operating system and co-creates a new one.
Duration
1 Full Day
Primary Audience
Intact Teams, Leadership Teams, Cross-Functional Groups
Delivery
In-person, team of 8 to 18
The programme is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA), a psychological framework for understanding interpersonal dynamics that combines three decades of clinical and organisational research with direct applicability to real team situations. TA provides the diagnostic language, the behavioural models, and the structural tools through which the team examines and rewrites its own scripts.
REEL|Life™: Groundhog Day provides the cinematic anchor, a film about a person trapped in a loop who cannot escape until they change. It works because it is precise, non-accusatory, and universally recognisable. Teams see their own patterns in the film without the defensiveness that direct conversation would produce. The day closes with the Adult-to-Adult Agreement: a co-created, observable, named behavioural norm document that the team owns, signs, and reviews at 30 and 90 days.
Every session builds on the one before it. Awareness before models. Models before application. Application before commitment. No session is conceptual only.
Session 1
Sigmoid Curve and Jo-Hari Window
Why teams must reset. Recognising inflection points and blind spots. Surfacing what has been unsaid. Renewal begins with awareness of the current team dynamics.
Session 2
Ego States in Teams: The PAC Model
Understanding how the Parent, Adult, and Child ego states manifest in team dynamics. Identifying each member's default reactions and the team's habitual interaction patterns.
Session 3
Life Positions: I'm OK, You'm OK
Exploring the beliefs that shape team behaviour. How teams operate from blame (I'm OK, You're not OK), passivity (I'm not OK), or mutual trust (I'm OK, You're OK). The Adult life position as the operating base for the rewrite.
Session 4
Drama Triangle: Breaking Reactive Loops
Recognising Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor roles in the team's recurring situations. Shifting deliberately to the Empowerment Triangle: Creator, Coach, and Challenger as the Adult alternatives.
Session 5
REEL|Life™: Groundhog Day Immersive Review
Groundhog Day as a mirror of team behaviour when awareness is absent. Participants debrief specific scenes against their team's own recurring scripts. The debrief surfaces the connection between the film's dynamic and their own defaults with precision and without defensiveness.
Session 6
Team Reset and Adult-to-Adult Agreement
Co-creating new team norms: explicit, observable, mutually owned behavioural agreements that replace the implicit scripts. Each member identifies one loop to break and one shift to practise. The agreement is signed and reviewed at 30 and 90 days.
Each framework in the programme closes a specific gap in how teams currently understand and manage their own dynamics. Participants leave with working fluency in all seven.
PAC Model (Transactional Analysis)
Helps team members understand interactions through three ego states: Parent, Adult, Child. Identifies default communication patterns and how they escalate or resolve conflict.
Life Positions: OK/OK
Examines the underlying beliefs each team member holds about themselves and others, and how those beliefs produce specific interaction defaults under pressure.
Karpman's Drama Triangle
Maps Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor roles in recurring team situations. Enables teams to recognise the patterns they are in before attempting to exit them.
Empowerment Triangle
The Adult-state alternative to the Drama Triangle. Shifts teams from reactive roles (Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor) to empowered roles (Creator, Coach, Challenger).
Strokes and Transactions
Explores the importance of positive acknowledgement and healthy interaction patterns in building a feedback culture where team members feel seen and valued.
Jo-Hari Window
Expands the team's Open Area through structured peer feedback, surfacing blind spots and hidden dynamics that are producing the scripts the programme has identified.
Sigmoid Curve
Maps the team's current lifecycle position, identifying whether the team is in growth, at plateau, or at the reinvention point where a rewrite is not optional.
REEL|Life™: Groundhog Day
ProventusHR's cinematic reflection methodology applied to a film about being trapped in a loop. The debrief anchors every TA concept in a narrative the team can return to.
Invisible plateaus: high-functioning teams encountering hidden barriers to progress despite apparent cohesion
Reactive communication: team interactions default to defensiveness and escalation rather than dialogue and resolution
Unspoken emotional undercurrents eroding trust below the surface of a professionally functional team
Repeated conflicts: the same arguments, the same assignments of blame, the same unresolved friction surfacing in different forms
Stagnant thought patterns: teams that keep making the same assumptions because no one has surfaced and examined them
Adult-to-Adult conversations replace Parent-Child defaults as the team's operating interaction standard
Team members recognise Drama Triangle roles in live situations and name them without accusation
Psychological safety strengthens: team members report feeling safer to raise concerns, challenge assumptions, and give honest feedback
Co-created team norms are live, owned, and reviewed: the Adult-to-Adult Agreement is a working document, not a workshop output
Named outputs from the programme design document. Tracked at 30 days through structured check-ins and at 90 days through manager conversations. Kirkpatrick Level 3 measurement is standard on every engagement.
Adult-to-Adult Conversations: Team members replace Parent-Child interaction defaults with mature dialogue that reduces defensiveness and improves the quality of decisions and feedback conversations.
Awareness of Roles and Patterns: The team develops a shared language for recognising and naming Drama Triangle dynamics in real-time, without accusation, enabling earlier intervention before patterns escalate.
Strengthened Psychological Safety: Team members report feeling safer to express concerns, surface disagreement, and give honest feedback without fear of judgment or retribution.
Shared Language for Feedback: A common vocabulary built on Transactional Analysis concepts enables clearer, less emotionally loaded feedback conversations between team members and with their manager.
Co-Created Team Norms: The Adult-to-Adult Agreement is explicit, mutually owned, and reviewed. It names specific behaviours, decision structures, and accountability owners. The team, not the facilitator, is the author.
Every ProventusHR programme is designed bespoke to your organisation’s context. No two engagements are identical.
Explore Leadership Capability ›Team scripts are the invisible interaction patterns, ego-state defaults, and role assignments that every team develops and operates from habitually, regardless of talent or intent. They determine how the team communicates under pressure, who speaks and who stays silent, and how conflict is handled. Team ReScript surfaces those scripts through Transactional Analysis diagnostics and creates the conditions for the team to examine and rewrite them deliberately.
Team ReScript is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA). It applies the PAC model (Parent, Adult, Child ego states), Karpman's Drama Triangle (Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor), the Empowerment Triangle as the Adult alternative, Life Positions (I'm OK, You're OK), and Strokes and Transactions to understand and redesign how the team interacts.
REEL|Life is ProventusHR's cinematic reflection methodology. In Team ReScript, Groundhog Day is used as a sustained metaphor for teams trapped in loops. Participants debrief specific scenes against their own team's recurring scripts, making the connection between the film's dynamics and their own defaults precise and non-defensive.
Adult-to-Adult agreements are the co-created output of the Team ReScript day. They are explicit, observable, and mutually owned norms that replace the implicit scripts the programme has surfaced. They name specific behaviours, decision structures, and accountability owners, and are reviewed at 30 and 90 days.
Intact teams experiencing plateau, recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, or invisible dysfunction that facilitated dialogue and conventional team-building have not resolved. Particularly relevant for leadership teams, cross-functional project teams, and teams that have recently merged or restructured.
Yes. The Transactional Analysis diagnostic approach and the REEL|Life debrief create conditions for surfacing what is real without requiring the team to begin with a confrontational conversation they are not yet equipped to have. The film and the structured frameworks provide enough distance to open the real conversation safely.
Team ReScript is ProventusHR's experiential team reset programme. Grounded in Transactional Analysis, Karpman's Drama Triangle, and REEL|Life: Groundhog Day, it surfaces the invisible scripts - the unspoken rules, recurring conflict patterns, and habitual dynamics - that limit a team's effectiveness. The programme closes with a co-created Adult-to-Adult behavioural agreement.
