Say goodbye to “Me” and say hello to “Us”
Working As 1 helps businesses to adjust and adapt in predictable and culturally beneficial ways. Our philosophy is one you’ll recognize from elite sports teams the world over.
Rather than falling prey to silo building or complacency, Working As 1 helps you and your team to build trust, cohesive relationships and interdependence – much like a winning sports team seeking victory
Well-managed sports teams achieve victory when athletes, coaches, management and fans are connected to a common purpose that affirms their vision, mission, values and beliefs. Working As 1 establishes that same competitive mindset.

About Jeff Kropman
Jeff’s interest in teamwork began in his teenage years, sparked by a curiosity about why statistically superior teams often fail to win championships. Through his experiences playing and coaching successful teams, he learned invaluable lessons about player alignment, communication, goal setting, systems design, in-game strategy, feedback, and the value of human connection.
Jeff brought these insights into the family business, which manufactures high-speed digital printing equipment exported globally. Joining as the sixth employee, he was given the freedom to explore and experiment with management techniques. Jeff applied his sports lessons to his management style, understanding that the best teams are highly focused, united in their common pursuit, and willing to sacrifice for each other to achieve their goal.
