Team dynamics and team type
Small teams get visualizations, guided prompts and more to help them understand why their unique team functions the way it does. Sherrie Haynie, Director of US Professional Services, explains that “once teams get to the why of their inner workings, they can take actionable steps to utilize strengths and mitigate blind spots. It’s like having a visual map and explicit travel directions to higher team performance.”
