Why this study matters
What we want to find out
Your team’s most important work needs something the modern workplace rarely protects:
Your attention.
Emails. Meetings. Messages. Unclear priorities—and the internal noise they leave behind.
The problem is:
It all looks like work.
And we’ve become so used to it that we rarely question what it is doing to us.
When attention is divided, we struggle to focus deeply, finish a thought, or think clearly about a decision. Ideas remain half formed.
Our most important work never gets the space to appear.
This isn’t simply about productivity.
It’s about awareness—seeing what is consuming our attention, what it is doing to our thinking, and what leaders are allowing to become normal.
Yet this is the same environment in which we expect breakthroughs—and ask new strategy and culture programs to take root.
Then we wonder why so little sticks.
The Team Noise Study exists to make this visible.
How much noise is affecting our ability to think clearly, use good judgment and make good decisions.
Where noise is having the greatest impact.
What noise may be costing teams and organizations.
What leaders may need to pay more attention to.

Why we’re doing this study
A short introduction from Stefan Wetterholm
Why participate?
Taking part gives you a chance to:
Receive the 1-page Team Noise Profile tool
See the bigger patterns across teams
Compare the findings with your own organization
Start a useful conversation with your team
Receive the 2027 Team Noise Report before it is published
This is not an audit of your individual team. The purpose is to understand the bigger picture.
We’re inviting 25 companies • 50 teams • 500 people
For founders, leaders & companies
For consultants & advisors
Register one or more teams. We’ll send you a country-coded survey link to share with your team. Individual responses remain anonymous.
Invite teams in your network to participate. Use the findings to start useful conversations with clients. You don’t need to tell us which teams you invite.
We’re inviting Study Partners to help the study reach beyond
our own network and build a broader, more useful picture.
First study wave closes 16 October.

What happens next?
Once the study is complete, we’ll bring the findings together in the 2027 Team Noise Report — showing how big the problem appears to be, where noise has the greatest impact, what it may be costing, and what leaders may need to pay more attention to.
Participating leaders and Study Partners will receive the report before public release.
