Team Focus

Reveals essential focus on the team's tasks, its people, their time and more. Discover how the team really works

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.

What's being assessed?

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.

Behaviours and other factors explored by this assessment

Task means

Has the material resources needed to play a part, and competent support. Has information and other inputs required, knows own field.

Time means

Uses visible means of scheduling time, fitting in with others. Follows the timetable at a steady pace, keeps a careful check on how time is used.

Human means

Applies talents to the task and improves knowledge, skills and performance. Gets satisfaction from the part played and makes a valued contribution.

Task ways

Takes available inputs and uses the work methods needed to make task resources productive. Follows standard formats and routine practices to get results.

Time ways

Plans the use of time carefully, forecasting what lies ahead and what can be done. Bases priorities on importance, urgency and feasibility, coordinates activities with others.

Human ways

Cooperates with others, gives support to the team. Makes decisions that suit conditions, takes others' views into account. Creates understanding and openness.

Output quality

Careful about work quality, from the time of choosing inputs through preparation and production, to finished goods or services. Takes a 'zero defects' approach.

Output quantity

Delivers the volume of output expected to required specifications. Sustains delivery at required level, ensures goods or services measure up.

Output cost

Cost-conscious, whether dealing with money, time or other resources, stays within means. Tracks resource usage and ensures benefits outweigh cost.

Output time

Plans around the time available. Structures activities for best outcomes, applies time to tasks. Fixes issues as they arise, allows for the unexpected.

Constraints

Overcomes constraints to make the most of scarce resources. Adapts to how things are done, stays within set boundaries. Despite restrictions, does what can be done..

Wastage

Avoids waste of any kind, seeks to get things done well the first time. Avoids holdups, idle time, both for self and others, finds a use for leftovers.
