Effective teams do not happen by accident
THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSESS WITH US
Good individuals do not make a great team
Teams covering a wider spread of roles tend to outperform teams clustered in the same few. Most groups do not know which they are, because nobody has plotted them.
Every group is light somewhere, and the work attached to those roles quietly does not get done.
The group view counts how many hold each role as preferred and as least preferred, so the gap stops being a hunch.
An even spread is not automatically right. A research team should be heavy on analytical roles; a delivery team should not. The group view is read against what your team is for.
One team assessment,
three things you did not have before
A report each person can use alone
The two roles they are most likely to adopt and the two they are least, what that combination is good at, where it trips them up, and how to work with people nothing like them.
The group view
Three people or three hundred on one wheel. How many hold each role as preferred and as least preferred, and the group's two of each. Where the group is light, it suggests what to do.
A session you can actually run
Facilitator deck, a pre-session activity and a bank of exercises that work in a room or on a call. It ships with the assessment, so you can run the session yourself or have us facilitate.
See your own team on one screen
They ran it once, then ran it again with every team below them
“A software business coming out of a demerger put its UK sales leadership team through a half day session. Siloed working and communication got named, owned and planned against. The team then ran it with their own sales teams.”
When a team effectiveness tool is the right call
A new team, a merger, or a new hire joining one
Profile the group that exists, then see how a new person fits before they start. It also settles buddy and mentor pairings, which is what makes onboarding fast.
A team underperforming for no obvious reason
The individuals check out. The output does not. Team profiling shows the gap between the roles the work needs and the roles the team covers.
Frequently asked questions
If it is not here, ask us. You will get a fast answer from an expert, not a form reply.
A team assessment measures each person individually, then plots the group together, so you see how the team combines rather than how each person performs. Ours identifies which of eight work roles each person is most and least likely to adopt, shows which the group covers thinly, and suggests what to do.
Whoever you want to. The toolkit is built for your own people to deliver, and we run train-the-trainer for teams doing this regularly. Our business psychologists can also facilitate, which is the usual choice for a leadership team or a group in the middle of a restructure.
The individual reports need no psychometric training to read or use. They are written for line managers, team leaders and the individuals themselves, so they go out as soon as they land. A full session is easier with training, which we offer, or we can facilitate.
Three is the minimum and there is no upper limit. The overview works across teams, so you can look at a function or a whole layer of management and see whether the same role is missing everywhere. A team dynamics assessment across several groups finds what one session misses.
