Team Pulse

Inspired by Patrick Lencioni’s well-known model The Five Dysfunctions of a Team (2005), the Team Pulse is a rigorous assessment tool developed by our firm to explore seven essential pillars of team performance, as identified in the scientific literature: trust, conflict, role clarity, functional expertise, commitment, accountability, and attention to results.

Designed to align with the 13 psychosocial factors of the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace and the ISO 45003 guidelines on psychological health and safety at work, the Team Pulse serves as a catalyst for meaningful conversations, helping teams strengthen collaboration, build resilience, and enhance collectiveempowerment.

What characterizes our Team Pulse
