Our Approach
According to our data:
Top performing teams out perform average teams by 42%.
We can show you how your team compares.
Less than 10% of teams rate themselves as high performing. The cost of poor performance is staggering.
We provide proven diagnostic tools to set a baseline and reveal team strengths and challenges. This research-based approach focuses on 14 measures of team competency. In order to know where to invest valuable time, and money in team performance, it makes sense to start with a clear picture of what’s working and what’s not working. That’s what the diagnostic reveals. It accelerates the progress of improved team performance.
We work with the team to create an action plan that includes two parallel outcomes:
- Measurable improvement in team competencies. This team works better together and takes what they learn into every other team they are on.
- Measurable positive impact on business metrics for this team. This work is only justified by real business results.
We support the team with consulting, coaching, skills training, and accountability.

Methodology
The initial diagnostic gives the team a clear picture of how they view their competency in 14 separate categories — categories that would natural, and familiar to any team. Ask any team, “How are you doing?” and they will likely look at these areas:
- Team leadership
- Resource management
- Goals and strategies
- Alignment
- Accountability
- Decision-making
- Proactive mindset (take initiative vs. constantly reacting)
These are the 7 positivity measures that support team productivity.
- Trust
- Respect
- Camaraderie
- Communication
- Constructive Interaction: ability to fight, give feedback, take a stand, all for the sake of the team
- The team’s capacity to value diversity as a strength
- Optimism: commitment and belief in the team
We provide best-practice insight, consulting and skills training for each of these 14 areas. We work with the team to create an action plan and then help the team stay on track and accountable.
