To act jointly, we journey from disparate places to a coherent, collective sense of what is real, what we desire, and what we will do to accomplish it. Group alignment emerges through conversations that generate shared stories, understandings, and decisions.

Moving toward Alignment points primarily to:

Common Ground

Divergence and Convergence Rhythm

How Related

The alignment is partly shown by people's readiness to make commitments. --Tree

Emphasizing common ground builds the movement toward alignment. --Tree

Repeatedly (recursively, iteratively) Distilling what has happened or been said can progressively Move the group Towards Alignment. -- Tom

Coming into alignment is part of Convergence dynamics. But know that divergence will happen sometime in the future... -- Tom
Moving toward Alignment is a subset of Convergence. -- wiki

Often Coming Into Alignment requires letting go of strategies or ideas one considered important but which it becomes clear have to be set aside in order to work with others. Ideally, one can still be grounded in deep universal needs and values and/or in the shared purpose of the group. -- Tom

When the time is right, get the group's agreement that NOW is when they are going to find the right Alignment to accomplish their purpose. -- Tom

MTA happens in a temporal context of that group's experience. --Tree
