Turn Your Team Into a Competitive Advantage
Create immediate impact and lasting change with the RIDE Framework
❝Rory Sylvia helped my team unlock what every manager hopes for: trust, ownership, and faster delivery—without me in the middle.”

Most Teams Aren’t Broken—Their Systems Are
Outdated ways of working keep even the most capable teams stuck, buried in meetings, firefighting daily, and unclear on what matters most.
That’s where The Ways We Work comes in.
We help teams teams evolve their ways of working—how they meet, innovate, collaborate, execute, and more—using the RIDE Framework: a team-centered system that builds trust, clarity, and real momentum.
No more superhero managers.
No more broken systems.
It’s time to build teams that thrive—together.
From Reorgs to Rockets: How Real Change Takes Off
Most teams don’t need another reorg.
They need a system that actually works—one they can own.
Because when you shift how your team works together, you’re not just improving collaboration or productivity.
You’re building a rocket ship
The engine = Your Team
The fuel = Your Ways of Working
The rocket = The RIDE Framework
Your orbit = High Performance
If you want a team that runs itself, adapts quickly, and actually thrives—you need a new system.
And that means choosing a different approach:
Team-Driven Change isn’t about less leadership.
It’s about smarter, shared leadership that scales.
So how do you actually build a rocket?
You use the RIDE Framework to evolve your ways of working, one experiment at a time. RIDE stands for Reflect, Ideate, Design, Experiment—a simple, team-first approach to building better ways of working.
The best teams don’t wait for permission.
They build the rocket—and launch.

The RIDE Sprint
Team Workshop
Who It’s For: Intact teams
Duration: One full-day catalyst session (6–8 hours) + three 2-hour follow-ups
Format: In-person or virtual
This hands-on experience is designed to be a catalyst event for high-performing, mission-focused teams. It helps participants understand how culture is shaped through everyday behaviors and dynamics — and how to intentionally evolve it.
Teams will surface what’s getting in the way, align on their current state, and co-create a 90-day roadmap with safe-to-try experiments tailored to their needs. By the end, they’ll have a shared understanding of how they work today, a clear path forward, and a repeatable process they can continue to use over time.
Workshop Objectives:
● Understand Team Culture: Learn how culture is shaped through team behavior, decisions, and interactions — and how to influence it intentionally.
● Improve Team Effectiveness: Identify friction points and strengthen the practices that support collaboration and results.
● Apply Practical Tools: Use scalable tools and methods to shift how the team works together, starting immediately.
● Design Actionable Solutions: Leave with a 90-day strategy and three tailored, safe-to-try experiments to improve team culture and performance for your most pressing challenges.
Rob came looking for a better way to lead without becoming the bottleneck. Here's what changed after his team ran a RIDE Sprint.

Senior Manager, The Boeing Company
“Rory Sylvia helped my team unlock what every manager hopes for: trust, ownership, and faster delivery—without me in the middle.
Through his facilitation and coaching, we identified key tensions that had been quietly slowing us down. Rory guided us in designing team-led experiments that didn’t just tweak our workflow—they redefined how we work together. One of the biggest breakthroughs? Removing me, the manager, as the bottleneck and enabling the team to take full ownership of how they deliver.
As a result, we’ve accelerated decision-making, improved collaboration, and found a more direct path to delivering value to our customer. Rory’s impact was both immediate and enduring. If your team needs momentum, clarity, and autonomy—Rory knows how to get you there.
Rory offers adaptable yet structured team level workshop to quickly lead a team from discovery to design and implementing better ways of working. He is always experimenting with novel ways to meet teams where they are at regardless of your team or company’s culture journey”
