Team Cohesion Index

A practical diagnostic to support clarity, connection, and collaboration in teams

The Team Cohesion Index is a complete diagnostic tool designed to help teams make sense of how they work together. It assesses key dimensions of team functioning — such as clarity, communication, connection, and collaboration — and creates a shared picture of what is supporting the team and what may be holding it back.

Rather than offering abstract models or complex theory, the Team Cohesion Index provides an accessible starting point for meaningful conversation.

When teams need clarity, practitioners need tools that work

Many team diagnostics are heavy, overly theoretical, or difficult for clients to relate to. They generate large amounts of data, leaving practitioners to do most of the translation work.

The Team Cohesion Index was developed to remove that friction.

It offers a simple and efficient way to uncover what is happening inside a team, so the focus can remain on reflection, dialogue, and development — not on explaining the tool itself.

What the Team Cohesion Index supports

The Team Cohesion Index helps teams to:

  • See what supports their collaboration — and what gets in the way
  • Understand how individual experiences influence the team as a whole
  • Talk about well-being and performance using a shared, non-judgmental language
  • Identify where to focus attention and action next

Used within coaching or facilitation, the Team Cohesion Index becomes a mirror for collective insight, supporting teams to make more conscious and constructive choices about how they work together.
