When to use Team Signals

Icon

New or forming teams

Deploy within the first few weeks to quickly establish psychological safety and shared expectations. The ideal way to accelerate trust and team clarity from day one, especially if you're establishing a Team Charter.

Icon

Team engagement pulse checks

Keep a live read on morale, inclusion and workplace culture. Use at regular intervals to detect shifts in sentiment early and prevent disengagement from spreading, especially if any team members change.

Icon

Mid-project health checks

Aligning a project team together quickly is essential and checking in at key milestones can flag misalignment or early warning signs before they escalate. This will reduce the assumptions and allow for course correction before scope, budget or engagement slip.

Icon

Leadership transitions

Give incoming managers a data-rich starting point. Run a Team Signals within the first 90 days of a new leader's arrival to efficiently reveal team dynamics and legacy issues. May highlight the leaders' different approaches.

Icon

Post-merger integration

Surface culture clashes early and keep synergy plans on track. Use to measure how well newly combined teams are aligning in mindset, priorities, and practices. Will help define the best "team building" activities the team needs now.

Icon

L&D ROI measurement

Benchmark before and after training to prove value by capturing pre- and post-intervention snapshots. Demonstrates the measurable impact on team behaviour and cohesion.

Where Team Signals Fits in the TMS Suite

Team signals product 03

Team Signals will help you interpret the cause of the various symptoms evident in your team. It is best used in conjunction with the Team Management Profile or QO2 Profile to inform the best way forward.

TMP provides self-awareness around your team’s work preferences. The QO2 shows your attitudes towards achieving goals, driving change and taking risks. Team Signals diagnoses how your team is functioning right now. Using all three gives you a three-dimensional view of your team’s current reality, the strengths, challenges and the best way to make improvements.
