Team effectiveness and development
Turn team insight into stronger performance
PBC combines evidence-based assessment, expert interpretation and facilitated action planning to help teams understand how they work, address what is getting in the way and agree practical priorities for improvement.
PBC’s approach
A tailored journey from diagnosis to sustained action
The right pathway depends on the team’s level, context, priorities and available data. We tailor the diagnostic and development pathway so the team can focus on the evidence and interventions most relevant to its goals.
End-to-end support: PBC can lead the complete journey, from stakeholder consultation and assessment administration through analysis, facilitated team development, action planning and follow-up. We can also work alongside appropriately qualified internal practitioners where that better suits your operating model.
Understand the context
Consult with key stakeholders to clarify the team’s purpose, priorities, current challenges and desired outcomes.
Select the diagnostic approach
Choose the most useful source of evidence, including personality-based insight, multi-rater feedback or a combined approach.
Administer and analyse
Coordinate the selected assessments, review available data and identify the patterns most relevant to the team.
Prepare and facilitate
Shape the workshop around the evidence and create a constructive setting for the team to explore findings and implications.
Agree practical action
Translate insight into clear priorities, ownership and shared commitments that connect to the team’s day-to-day work.
Reinforce and measure
Support follow-up, coaching or reassessment where appropriate to reinforce development and track meaningful change over time.
When team effectiveness matters
Make the team’s real challenges visible
Team development is most useful when it is anchored in the team’s context and the outcomes it needs to achieve.
Unclear roles or ways of working
Misalignment around priorities
Low trust or ineffective communication
Decision-making difficulties
Conflict or behavioural friction
Limited shared accountability
Leadership-team transition or change
A need to measure development over time
Choose the right source of insight
Different questions call for different evidence
Start with the business question. PBC can then identify the assessment and reporting pathway that provides the most useful evidence for the team.
Personality-based team insights
Help teams understand likely patterns in behaviour, values, working preferences, team roles, potential derailers, team culture and alignment.
- Most useful when
- The team wants to understand its underlying dynamics and how individual tendencies combine at team level.
- Typical inputs
- Existing or newly completed HPI, HDS and MVPI results, depending on the report selected.
- Relevant options
- Hogan Group Graph, Group Graph with Frequency Distribution and Hogan Team Report.
Multi-rater team insights
Provide direct feedback on how team or leadership behaviour is currently experienced by team members and relevant stakeholders.
- Most useful when
- The team wants direct evidence about current performance, culture, leadership behaviour or stakeholder experience.
- Typical inputs
- Quantitative ratings, qualitative comments and internal or external stakeholder perspectives.
- Relevant options
- High Performing Team Assessment, Hogan 360 group reporting and customised Board Assessment.
A combined approach
Connects likely behavioural tendencies with direct feedback about what colleagues and stakeholders currently experience.
- Most useful when
- The team needs a more complete picture of why patterns may occur and how those patterns affect others.
- Typical inputs
- Individual personality data, aggregated team data, multi-rater results, comments and relevant benchmarks.
- Development value
- Supports a richer facilitated discussion and more targeted team commitments.
Interpretation and delivery
PBC can scope a consultant-led team session, including preparation and facilitation. Organisations with appropriately qualified internal practitioners can also deliver selected reports themselves. The Hogan Team Report requires Hogan Certification.
Not sure which approach fits? PBC can help scope the team’s question, available data and the most appropriate development pathway.
Discuss the optionsDedicated team assessment
High Performing Team Assessment
The High Performing Team Assessment, or HPTA, gathers feedback on how the team performs across 12 critical themes for success. It helps teams understand their mix of strengths and development opportunities across the two domains of Performance and Culture.
- Quantitative ratings and qualitative feedback
- Feedback from team members and relevant external stakeholders
- Executive, Management, Frontline and Agile variations
- Relevant benchmarking to support interpretation
- Pre- and post-assessment comparison where applicable
- A minimum of five raters to protect confidentiality and anonymity
Assessment and reporting options
Select the level of detail the team needs
Select an assessment or report to review what it provides, when it is most useful and any important prerequisites.
Hogan Group Graph
A visual summary that compares individuals at scale level, helping the team explore differences in behaviour, potential derailers and values.
- Best suited to: a focused, accessible discussion of team roles, culture, alignment and barriers to success.
- Inputs: existing HPI, HDS and MVPI results.
- Primary outcome: a clear visual foundation for facilitated discussion about how individual patterns contribute to the team.
