Team Diagnostics
A leadership team is not just a group of talented individuals. It is a system, with its own patterns, blind spots, and points of friction that no individual assessment will ever surface. AO's team assessment is the BRITE Team Effectiveness Survey, a purpose-built diagnostic that measures five dimensions proven to drive how a team performs: Sharing Mindsets, Building the Right Structure, Creating Safety and Cohesion, Processing Information, and Producing Results. It works with any intact team, not only the team at the top, and it requires no prior assessment data to begin.
BRITE is where most AO team engagements start, and often the step that comes before Team Coaching. It sets an objective baseline, shows exactly where the team is strong and where energy is leaking out, and gives everyone a specific, shared picture to work from instead of a room full of competing opinions about what's wrong.
Every team assessment includes:
- The BRITE Team Effectiveness Survey administered to the full team, about 15 minutes per person
- Five dimensions of team functioning measured
- A shared team profile delivered as the foundation for focused development work
The Right Solution For:
- New Team Formation
- Pre-Engagement Baseline
- Diagnosing Underperformance
- Merger & Reorg Integration
- Setting Priorities for Team Coaching
- Tracking Team Progress Over Time
