Why this framework
🔍

Root cause focus

Most team-building programs target communication and rapport — but the evidence shows governance gaps and misaligned goals are the more common root cause. This framework targets root causes before you invest.

📚

Research-backed

Built on Deloitte, KPMG, Harvard Business Review, Wharton People Analytics, and EY research — made practical for real team decisions.

🎯

C-Suite ready

Designed for executives and team leads who need a clear, honest picture of team readiness before committing budget to an offsite or program.

Instant action plan

Receive a dimension-by-dimension score, an overall maturity tier, and a prioritized action plan — so you know exactly where to focus first.

Five dimensions evaluated
🤝
Relational Capability & Psychological Safety
Do team members trust one another, feel respected and included — and does leadership see this the same way team members actually experience it?
Grounded in Deloitte Center for Integrated Research, Jan. 2026
🎯
Goal & Knowledge Alignment
Is this team aligned with the functions it depends on around shared priorities, and equally equipped with the knowledge needed to execute together?
Grounded in KPMG 2025 CFO & CIO Collaboration Survey
⚖️
Governance & Accountability Clarity
Is it clear who owns each decision and deliverable, and is the collaborative workload distributed fairly rather than resting on a few overloaded people?
Grounded in Harvard Business Review platform research
🔬
Measurement Validity & Construct Rigor
Are the tools you use to evaluate this team anchored in independently validated research — or just a popular framework with no published evidence behind it?
Grounded in Wharton People Analytics, University of Pennsylvania
🔁
Progress & Follow-Through Mechanism
Does this team have a recurring process for re-checking its health, and does that process actually change how the team works — not just sit in a folder?
Grounded in Deloitte 2026 Global Human Capital Trends & EY Work Reimagined
