I believe the answer is:

usages

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ways of working' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'our group adds wrinkles' is the wordplay.
'our group' becomes 'us'.
'adds wrinkles' becomes 'ages' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'us'+'ages'='USAGES'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for usages that I've seen before include "speech patterns" , "Habitual or customary practices" , "Linguistic norms" , "Customary treatments, practices" , "Customs." .)
