How to use the Team Effectiveness Dashboard
🧭 How It Works
The Herrmann® Team Effectiveness Dashboard is a short, 10-minute online assessment designed to help teams reflect on how they work together — their alignment, communication, and effectiveness.
Participation is managed by your HBDI® Certified Practitioner, who will send an email invitation with a unique link to complete the assessment. Once everyone has participated:
- Your Practitioner reviews the results and shares a Team Effectiveness Dashboard Report.
- During a team session, your Practitioner will guide a discussion to help your team understand its strengths, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
- The insights are connected to your team’s HBDI® Team Profile to explore how thinking styles influence perceptions and collaboration.
💡 Tip: The Dashboard is most powerful when repeated periodically with the same team to track progress and measure shifts in team dynamics.
⚙️ How to Complete the Assessment
- Open the email invitation sent by your Practitioner.
- Click the link to start the assessment and log in (or create a Herrmann account using your email).
- Complete all 37 questions, thinking about your team as a whole.
- Submit your responses; your answers are included anonymously in your team’s combined results.
👥 Who Participates
The Team Effectiveness Dashboard is completed by members of intact or cross-functional teams that share a common goal. It’s typically used with:

Leaders involved may include:
- Department heads, managers, or team leads

📈 Why It Matters
The Team Effectiveness Dashboard helps your team:

💡 Repeating the assessment over time allows your team to see how its focus and effectiveness evolve.
