Synergy
Team Effectiveness
Synergy is a team effectiveness and action planning survey that assesses a total of 13 team effectiveness factors organized around the following framework:
- Team alignment - Does the team have overall goals and direction?
- Team talent/focus - Does the team have the right talent in place?
- Team processes - Does the team have effective work practices?
- Team interaction - Does the team work effectively together?
- Team outcomes - Does the team achieve results/satisfied team members?
Synergy™ is based on our experience in working with hundreds of teams across multiple business sectors and organizational levels, our experience in conducting team diagnostics, and an extensive review of the team effectiveness public domain research literature. Synergy™ consists of 52 total items arrayed across 13 team effectiveness factors (4 rated items per factor). The survey asks team members to make ratings using a 5-point scale. In addition, the survey contains three open-ended items.
