The Need for Baseline Measurement

With all the pressure and change teams of all kinds face in organizations, there is a need for a comprehensive tool to clearly define where the team is today, what strengths it can build on, and what weaknesses are holding it back. The Quality Values Team Assessment provides a quantifiable baseline measurement, ideal for improvement planning and the tracking of team performance over time.

What factors create a high performing team?

Because of the many differences in demographics and other team variables (team size, time together, age of company, rapid company growth, downsizing, etc.), it is necessary to present a large question set so that the dynamic environment and unique situation affecting each individual team can be identified. At its foundation the Quality Values Team Assessment measures the ten components which share the strongest correlation with Team High Performance. They are:

Clear Vision, Direction, and Goals
Effective Team Leadership
Shared Responsibility for Success
Essential Foundation Components and Resources
A Participative Environment and Culture

Continuous Improvement and Innovation Focus
Excellent Communications Internally and Externally
Effective Decision Making
