Looking Forward Consulting

Developmental team assessment

What is this team achieving, what helps or holds it back, and what should it change next?

Combine team members' experiences, stakeholder views, and actual results. Then turn the findings into one or two changes with an owner and a review date.

Eight dimensions, 32 questions

  1. 1

    Shared purpose and priorities

    Shared priorities and understanding of success

  2. 2

    Roles and decision clarity

    Ownership, authority, and expectations

  3. 3

    Psychological safety and inclusion

    Ability to raise concerns, admit mistakes, and contribute

  4. 4

    Accountability and reliability

    Follow-through and constructive handling of missed commitments

  5. 5

    Communication and coordination

    Information flow, handoffs, and dependencies

  6. 6

    Constructive conflict and decision quality

    Productive disagreement and timely decisions

  7. 7

    Learning and adaptability

    Reflection, feedback, experimentation, and adjustment

  8. 8

    Capacity and leadership support

    Skills, resources, workload, and leadership support

Plus four open questions, a short stakeholder survey, a performance scorecard, and a debrief action plan. These are original developmental questions, not a validated instrument; avoid using results for personnel decisions.
