Ikigaï: Finding the perfect balance for teamwork
Published on February 14, 2025

With the Ikigaï template, share your respective skills and competences to work better as a team.
Together, identify what makes you tick on a daily basis and find the perfect balance.
Ikigaï is initially a Japanese concept. It actually originates from Okinawa island. It was popularized in Western culture by psychologist Akihiro Hasegawa, and is commonly represented by a Venn diagram. It aims to find your purpose in life, both on a professional and personal level.
Thus, Ikigaï is considered to be the intersection of four components: what I am good at, what I like to do, what the world needs, what I can be paid for.
In this template, we have adapted the concept to the notion of group. Carried out in a team, this exercise allows to reach a right balance between the members who compose it, common values through an individual search of meaning. Completing the Ikigaï template as a team allows the team members to achieve a perfect balance and to find meaning in their work together.
