In this assessment we're not looking so much at "teamwork", rather, we break down how a team "works" - into twelve key factors.
Dive in and explore the interaction of task achievement, time usage and people, each revealed in the context of resources used and the adoption of processes. We'll also deliver insights into six parameters that affect team performance.
In our Team Focus assessment we explore three main areas of interaction - tasks, time and people. We're interested here in better understanding the relationships between human, task and time resources and processes and how effectively they're coordinated for productive ends.
Behavioural factors are arranged into three groups for this assessment. Beginning with an analysis of resource and process contributions, we then go deeper, delving into a set of performance and productivity measuring behaviours such as the quality and quantity of work, the cost of doing it, and consumption of time.
Two remaining factors highlight the constraints and limits placed on teams, and, perception of apparent wastage.
To get the best picture, consider assessing all team members together. Singling out individuals can also be useful when looking to fill gaps when the makeup of the rest of the team is already well understood.
 |
Task Resources Depicts the willingness to choose and use the right materials and equipment for the task, and to get any other inputs needed |
|---|---|
|
Time Resources Reveals the degree to which people are conscious of time, how much they believe they have available and how it is running out |
|
Human Resources Assesses affinity to work with people’s talents - their physical, mental and emotional attributes, behaviours and relationships |
|
Task Processes Surveys the inclination to make things happen and get on with the job through productive activity |
|
Time Processes Portrays interest in behaviours like forecasting, prioritising and synchronising, as ways of managing short- and long-term time |
|
Human Processes Depicts interest in transactions taking place between people, decisions they make and the inclination to put them into effect |
|
Output Quality Displays likely concern for work quality, for choosing materials fit for the task, and for making the most of what's available |
|
Output Quantity Indicates relative concern for total outputs of goods and/or services, and for meeting goals, targets and quotas |
|
Output Time Shows predisposition to use time to get things done, to allocate the least time possible and to work to meet or beat deadlines |
|
Output Cost Reveals inclination to keep costs under control and stay within budget, saving time and money wherever possible |
|
Constraints Conveys willingness to overcome imposed limitations and to make the most of scarce resources by adapting to the way things are |
|
Wastage Indicates the preference for avoiding wasted time, resources and processes, and the desire to get things right first time |
