Team Vital Signs
Measure and Improve The Drivers of Team Performance
Team Vital Signs is a validated, web-enabled assessment that quickly captures essential indicators of your team’s health — and offers a clear path toward peak performance.
At a Glance:

Value: Improve people performance
Uses: Change, people strategy, development, measure ROI on initiatives
Research: Validated, normed; climate scores predict sustainability, results, satisfaction, agility.
The TVS is a focused, practical tool to improve team efficacy. It can be seen as a “team 360” — but instead of evaluating an individual, team members (and team leaders) together evaluate the team as a whole.
TVS Applications
Change
In the change process, the bonds of teams are tested. High trust, highly effective teams are capable of leading change and maintaining (even increasing) performance during the process. Others implode. The TVS is ideal for strengthening teams that will be critical in a change process.
Team Efficacy
Just because a group of people is working together, they are not necessarily a team. The TVS identifies the areas where the group really is a team… and where they are not. Because the TVS dimensions are actionable, the results naturally lead to effective action planning for improvement.
ROI
In the US, companies spend over $150b annually on training and development, yet only around 30% of that training translates to performance change (INSIDE CHANGE, Freedman & Ghini). To what extent is a development program actually improving results? TVS offers a rapid process for measuring these results, both in terms of team dynamics and the performance outcomes of the improvement.
TVS HELPS YOU…
