• FiveStar 360 Team Performance Indicator

  Team Performance Measurement

  Do you understand team dynamics?
  Catalyst created the FiveSTAR 360 Team Performance Indicator (TPI) after decades of assessing the classic challenges associated with team and leadership dynamics inside all types of organizations.

  The FiveStar 360 TPI delivers objective data on team performance through a series of three surveys taken over a defined period of time: (1) as a diagnostic tool, before a team building program, (2) to measure immediate impact directly after a session and (3) to track development three months to a year after a session. The FiveSTAR 360 TPI allows users to quantify the functions and competencies for each team; including vision, role clarity, communication and trust. This data allows us to strategize the team’s plan for first-time quality, employee ownership, commitment, relationships and credibility in the eyes of your customers (internal and external).

  The data from the FiveSTAR 360 TPI, in conjunction with an in-depth pre-program needs assessment, is used to design a team building program and/or leadership development program. The survey results will help your overall understanding of team dynamics and help you realize your high-performance potential.
