Team Diagnostic Survey

An evidence-based survey plus expert coaching to identify the factors that drive up to 80% of team effectiveness

What is this offering?

The Team Diagnostic Survey, based on the 6 Conditions framework, is a deeply researched and well-validated team effectiveness assessment. The Team Diagnostic Survey is a proprietary instrument developed by Harvard scholars and practitioners — Richard Hackman, Ruth Wageman and Erin Lehman. Their research identified 6 conditions that together predict up to 80% of a team’s effectiveness. This instrument and its underlying framework enables teams, team leaders, and team facilitators to effectively design, launch, and coach great teams. The baseline survey takes about 20-30 minutes for team members to complete, and the Pulse Check survey about 2 minutes. This service includes an expert coaching session with MICHR staff and team leads or whole team to plan next steps based on The Team Diagnostic Survey results.
