Know exactly what's holding your team back — and what to do about it.
The Periodic Table of Effective Teams.
A detailed, evidence-based model of what makes teams work. 14 components. 3 levels. Anonymous survey. Personalised feedback for every member. Actionable insight for you.
You know your team can be doing more.
You see it in the inconsistent output. The meetings that go in circles. The talent that never quite gels into something greater than the sum of its parts.
You've tried retrospectives. Maybe engagement surveys. Perhaps even team-building activities. And while they sometimes help at the margins, you're left feeling like you're treating symptoms rather than causes.
The truth is: most approaches to team improvement either measure the wrong things, or give you data without telling you what to do about it.
We built The Impact Target to map the complete system — and give you a clear path forward.
You've probably tried engagement surveys.
Here's why they didn't help.
Global employee engagement
A ten-year low. If engagement surveys worked, we wouldn't still be here.
The problem isn't that you're not measuring. It's that you're measuring the wrong things, in the wrong way, and getting nothing actionable back.
That's why we built The Periodic Table of Effective Teams — a complete, evidence-based model of what makes teams work, and what to do when they don't.
Explore the frameworkYour team, assessed across three levels.
Anonymous survey. Personalised feedback for every member.
Level 1
Organisation
The context the organisation creates for the team
Level 2
Team
How the team operates together — and where the need for Relatedness is met
When these components are healthy, the hallmarks of high-performing teams emerge naturally.
You may recognise these from Project Aristotle (Google's internal team effectiveness research), or from the work of Hackman, Tannenbaum & Salas, and other scholars of team performance.
The Impact Target doesn't just tell you what these qualities look like — it shows you what produces them.
Anonymous survey. Personalised feedback. From diagnosis to action.
Enter your team members' email addresses. They receive an anonymous link to complete a 10-15 minute survey.
Individual team members receive personalised feedback on their responses. Team leads receive aggregated insights across the team.
Each identified issue links to relevant research, frameworks, and tools for addressing it.
Reassess over time to see how your team is developing across each component.
We're transparent about our model — and the research behind it.
The Impact Target synthesises decades of research on what makes teams effective, from Self-Determination Theory and psychological safety to team effectiveness science.
