Improve Agile Team Performance by engaging all members in reflection and action.

The ASI assesses your team's current mindset and the six critical dynamics of the Agility Shift™ that Pamela Meyer, Ph.D. describes in her book, The Agility Shift: Creating Agile and Effective Leaders, Teams and Organizations. The ASI for Teams is proven to help:

  • Ignite conversation and action to improve team agility

  • Determine where to invest your energy and resources to improve results

  • Team reflection and improve your working processes during Retrospectives

  • On-board new team members by engaging them in your team's development efforts

  • Make the mindset shift critical to improving agile team performance

  • Track your progress over time and adapt your strategies as conditions change

More than a competency assessment, the ASI is an opportunity for your team to focus its reflection and development efforts in the areas that will have the greatest impact on future performance.

Meyer's research revealed that our mindset is deeply intertwined with the six dynamics of the Agility Shift™

Teams whose members consistently and intentionally shift their attitudes and intentions from challenges to opportunities and welcome new learning and change are also more Resourceful and Responsive. Your team's ASI results will help them discover how their current practices support or impede agility, and what shifts will improve team performance.

For maximum insight, we recommend that teams answer all of the ASI questions in the survey. The sampling below shows the range of attitudes and practices your team will assess.
