Where Is Your Team Right Now?

The SPIRAL UP framework identifies three zones that teams move through:

• Spiraling Down: Trust erodes, energy drops. Teams lose momentum and connection.
• Stagnating: Stable but stuck. Comfortable but not growing.
• Spiraling Up: Learning through challenges. Building resilience and creating impact.

The Six SPIRAL UP Principles

The framework is built on six interconnected principles that form the SPIRAL acronym:

• Synergize: How people connect, collaborate, and build trust.
• Provide: How value is delivered to customers and stakeholders.
• Inspect: How reality is checked through feedback and reflection.
• Respond: How teams adapt to change and new information.
• Act & Accept: How decisions are made and risks are owned.
• Learn: How improvement becomes continuous and shared.
