Organisational & Agile Team Assessment

Gain a clear, evidence-based understanding of your organisation’s agility. Discover what’s working, what’s not, and how to build the conditions for lasting improvement with our Organisational and Agile Team Assessment.

Why run an Organisational and Agile Team Assessment?

Before teams can change how they work, leaders need a clear picture of how the organisation’s systems, culture and structures are shaping results.

Our assessment process combines data-driven surveys, interviews, observations and facilitated workshops to uncover how your organisation really operates.

We reveal insights that help you make better decisions about your transformation priorities. You’ll gain:

• Clear visibility of current challenges and their systemic causes
• Balanced understanding of strengths and weaknesses across teams
• A map of how value flows through your organisation
• Insight into culture, leadership and readiness for change
• Alignment around strategy, priorities and the next steps to take

What we assess

Our discovery covers the essential dimensions of organisational and team agility:

• Ways of Working & Practices – Agile methods, Scrum, Kanban, DevOps, quality and technical excellence
• Structure & Flow – team design, handoffs, and bottlenecks through value stream mapping
• Culture & Leadership – collaboration, communication and psychological safety using the Competing Values Framework (CVF)
• Employee & Team Experience – engagement, satisfaction and hybrid working practices
• Benchmarking – Comparative Agility® surveys comparing your organisation to global and UK benchmarks
• Outcomes – how strategy translates into customer value, predictability and measurable results

Our Approach to Organisational and Agile Team Assessment

Every engagement is tailored to your context, but our proven approach follows three clear stages.

1. Kick-off & Discovery Setup

We align on goals, scope and success criteria, agree communication plans, and select relevant surveys.  Activities include stakeholder interviews, value stream mapping, team design reviews and issuing culture assessments.

2. Mid-Engagement Review

An interim read-out shares early patterns and emerging themes. We explore tensions, blockers and opportunities through facilitated workshops and observations.

3. Findings & Recommendations

We deliver a complete discovery report with key insights, benchmarked data and a prioritised change backlog.  A facilitated walkthrough helps your leaders align on next steps and plan how to embed improvements.

Typical duration: 4–12 weeks, depending on scope and availability.

What you’ll receive

• Benchmark Insights: data-driven results showing strengths and gaps across teams and domains
• Culture Lens (CVF): visual comparison of your current and desired culture with targeted guidance for movement
• Actionable Recommendations: short-term wins and long-term focus areas – e.g. cultivating T-shaped skills, improving flow, stabilising delivery
• Change Backlog: prioritised improvement initiatives with owners and success measures
• Executive Summary: concise narrative for leadership alignment
• Facilitated Read-Out: interactive walkthrough to co-create shared understanding

Turning Data into Meaningful Insights

We don’t just measure agility — we make sense of it.  Our combination of quantitative benchmarking and qualitative discovery provides a rich, system-wide perspective.

Data shows where to focus. Dialogue explains why. Together, they create the foundation for meaningful, evidence-based change.

The Competing Values Framework (CVF)

Culture influences every decision your teams make.  The CVF model maps how your organisation balances four cultural dimensions — Collaborate, Create, Control and Compete.

We use it to help you:

• Understand cultural dynamics that support or resist change
• Design structural and behavioural experiments aligned with your desired culture
• Measure progress and cultural shift over time

Benefits of an Agile Team Assessment

• Faster flow of value – reduced handoffs and clearer end-to-end delivery
• Improved team health – stronger collaboration, trust and psychological safety
• Better business outcomes – data-led decisions that align with strategic goals
• Sustainable change – recommendations grounded in evidence, not opinion
