Team diagnosis for better people, role, and development decisions

We help you identify evidence-supported explanations for why a team may be underperforming, distinguish between capability, role, motivation, coordination, and environment, and choose what to investigate or change next.

When strong peopledo not becomea strong system

People decisions lack role and team context

A person may be strong in general but poorly matched to a specific role, business stage, or team configuration.

Development targets symptoms instead of constraints

Training is unlikely to help when the main constraint is role design, motivation, environment, or conflicting expectations.

Team growth is constrained by role and coordination gaps

Growth can expose missing functions, unclear ownership, weak coordination, or slow decision processes.

Method

From competencies to testable behavioral hypotheses

We assess observable competencies and connect them with patterns in psychometrics, structured interviews, role context, and peer observations. The result is a set of testable hypotheses about what may support or constrain performance, rather than a single causal verdict.

  • For facilitated projects, we can map an approved corporate competency model with administrator support.
  • We map competencies to recurring behavioral patterns that may help explain strengths and constraints.
  • We combine psychometrics, structured interviews, role data, peer observations, and team environment signals.
  • We return evidence, scenarios, and development priorities that leaders can use in decisions.

The questions the diagnostic answers

About people

What evidence supports readiness for a broader role, which strengths may compensate for gaps, and what development investment is proportionate?

About the team

Which patterns may be constraining team performance, which roles and qualities are present, and which functions or responsibilities appear under-covered?

About hiring

Which capabilities, roles, or working patterns would best address the team gaps identified in the diagnostic?

How it works

Input and leadership briefing

We use existing reports, competency frameworks, business goals, and a short briefing with the leader or HR sponsor.

The model builds the diagnostic frame

The system turns the leadership brief and approved evidence sources into explicit hypotheses, then selects approved questions and interview branches to test them.

The team completes the assessment

Participants complete psychometrics, role mapping, a structured interview, and peer assessment in one connected digital flow.

You receive decision support

You receive individual development plans and a team report with evidence-supported hypotheses, confidence limits, priorities, and suggested next steps. Facilitated interpretation is included in the facilitated package.

Team MetaQ Explorer

A platform, not a one-off questionnaire

Team MetaQ Explorer guides the team through the full diagnostic arc: psychometrics, role context, adaptive interviews, peer assessment, team aggregates, individual development plans, and a leader-facing team report.

What the client receives

Team portrait

Evidence-supported strengths, likely constraints, role gaps, interaction tensions, and unresolved questions.

Individual IDPs

Development plans built from role context, psychometric indicators, interview evidence, peer observations, and team patterns where available.

Action scenarios

Suggested actions for development, role clarity, decision ownership, team environment, and working agreements.

Consultation

A facilitated interpretation session for clients who choose the facilitated package.

Pricing

A focused team diagnostic without running a full assessment center

from EUR 2,500

Facilitated team diagnostic, from EUR 2,500 per team. Includes an adapted brief, optional competency-model mapping, an interpretation session, and scope-dependent outputs. A separate $998 self-service pilot includes one team, one wave, digital assessments, and the first team report.

Assessment

Psychometric indicators, competencies, role context, peer observations, and team environment.

Timeline

Report generation begins when the required participant inputs are complete. Calendar time depends mainly on participant completion and peer coverage.

Result

Action priorities and development plans framed around the business question captured during project setup.
