Teams overview
Understand what a Team is on the Herrmann Platform and when to use this tool.
What is a Team?
A Team is a group you create in the Herrmann Platform that gives Thinkers direct access to shared team insights and tools inside their Thinker Portal.
How Teams differ from other organizing tools:
-
Assessment Groups, Invitations, Data Roles: Help you keep your database organized.
-
Teams: Help Thinkers see and use their team data and team tools.
What Thinkers get with a Team:
-
Views of Team Preference Map, Average, and Composite profiles
-
Plain‑language guidance to help interpret the team’s data
-
One‑click Share & Compare for all team members
-
Action Plans to translate insights into action (BETA)
*Best practice: When you run an HBDI® Team Report debrief, also create a Team so participants can keep learning and applying insights afterward.
