The Team Diagnostic™
This convenient online diagnostic gives team leaders, team members, and interested stakeholders, a way to compare their view of the team’s strengths and weaknesses to a proven model of team effectiveness used by thousands of teams worldwide.
The Team Diagnostic™ is a unique approach because it regards the team as a dynamic “system.” A team is more than the sum of its parts. A team is a living, dynamic entity with its own personality, spoken and unspoken rules, vision, blind spots, even moods. With the Team Diagnostic™ the team’s needs are explored independently of the needs of any single member. This shifts the attention and the work to the team as a whole.
Research shows that the most successful teams have the means to take action and build effective relationships to motivate and sustain that action. The Team Diagnostic™ is built on these two fundamental axes: Factors that optimize productivity and factors that optimize positivity.
The model defines and measures seven separate productivity factors and seven positivity factors. This constellation of competencies and increasingly detailed layers of reporting provide a complete picture for creating and maintaining high-performing teams. Teams that excel at both dimensions are high performing and sustainable. They are creative, adaptable and resilient.
There are four unique perspectives based on the same Team Diagnostic™ model:
Team Leader View™
The Team Leader
Assesses the Team
This assessment view gives team leaders a way to compare their view of the team’s strengths and weaknesses. This diagnostic also shifts the mindset from leadership of individual performers, to leadership of the team as a whole. For leaders this view is also leadership feedback and a measure of the impact of their leadership.
Team Diagnostic™
The Entire Team
Assesses Itself
This view provides a self-determined baseline for the team and a map for moving forward. In the end, it is the team that will decide the course direction for the next phase of the journey. In this view the team productivity, positivity, dynamics and culture, are revealed to the team in a way that everyone can understand.
Team 360 View™
Outside Stakeholders
Assess The Team
This perspective gives the team invaluable information from the people whose opinions matter most: the people who are served by the team every day.
Organization View™
The Organization
Assesses The Team
This diagnostic view can be used with a division, a large department, an entire organization, or a representative sample of the organization. The final report can be segmented to show overall results as well as results from subsets of the diagnostic. For example you could compare the view of IT with finance, or manufacturing.

“The Team Diagnostic and coaching dramatically accelerated a critical change management process, and instilled a new culture in our IT organization during a mission critical period. This is team development that gets long term, measurable results.”
Karin Catton - CIO and Global VP Information Technology, Norgren
“The workshop was well worth the time/effort. The Team Coaches were very well prepared, and they did a great job facilitating a candid discussion amongst the team. The workshop increased my comfort being candid with other team members.”
Tim Geraghty - Senior Vice President, Bank of America
“The Team Diagnostic systems-based approach to working with teams is breaking new ground in that it creates a mindset and skill set that takes the focus off of individual team members’ relationships and creates a new perspective on the team as its own entity.
The business case speaks for itself: “a focused, aligned committed and high performing team.” I believe the model and assessment assisted me in creating a high performing team for a very critical project which I am leading for Johnson & Johnson.”
Marc Hooyberg - Project Manager, Johnson & Johnson
“Without trying to sound too dramatic – I’d credit the team coaching sessions as the turning point on this project. Without this training, my project team would have failed because we could not get out of the starting blocks.”
Matt McGoff - Program Manager, Proctor & Gamble
