Team Assessment & Development

Our Team Assessment and Development services are designed to help you to ensure that groups of people who work together are at their most efficient and effective.

Team assessment can be used to great effect with senior management teams, divisional teams or any other group where team performance assessment is relevant.

Our team assessment services use psychometric tools, interviews and other exercises to examine the strengths and weaknesses of existing teams to help direct recruitment, training and organisational development. The process will be specific to each assignment, but will typically include:

Defining the objectives

We will start by making sure that the parameters and outcomes of any assignment are clearly defined and understood by all parties.

Examining group dynamics and behaviours

We may observe team meetings and use 360 instruments or interviews and discussions with stakeholders to build a detailed picture of how the team operates.

Profiling personalities

Each team member is profiled by a psychologist using the appropriate psychometric tools and techniques.

Creating a report

Our detailed reports will provide a comprehensive team performance assessment against the original criteria and will include recommendations on how to improve performance where appropriate.

We have also developed the Odgers Berndtson Talent Review (OBTR), a leadership assessment methodology that can be used to support:

  • Selection
  • Re-organisation
  • Team profiling
  • Leadership development & high flyer programmes
  • Succession planning

OBTR focuses on the assessment of management and leadership potential through a structured core process, but with flexible additional options.
OBTR is underpinned by our leadership model which has been developed based on best practice in the field of leadership and performance psychology as well as our experience at the forefront of executive search. Judgements can also be aligned to internal performance/competency frameworks if appropriate.
