The 13 Disciplines Assessment
Assessments are an effective tool for identifying areas for
individual or group development. In our 13 Disciplines Assessment,
work teams rate how well they currently perform against 13 key
measures of high performance.
The 13 disciplines are what we have--through research and
experience--identified as the essential elements for a team's
continued success. Though a team might function effectively in
the present, the best way to ensure its future is to continually
develop and improve performance in each of these disciplines,
ranging from a customer-centric focus to learning and continuous
development.
The 13 Disciplines Assessment for Teams is designed to be
used anytime a team wants a snapshot of where it is developmentally
so that it can identify strategies for improving performance.
Based on 64 brief descriptions, team members rate how frequently
their team performs or demonstrates a number of activities. The
combined scores of team members identify strengths the team can
use to greater advantage and weaknesses it can work to improve.
If completed at regular intervals, The 13 Disciplines Assessment
for Teams will track the progress and maturity of the team.
The 13 Disciplines Assessment for Teams is available as a
standard paper-based assessment that you administer yourself
or as an electronic survey. Rayner & Associates can administer
the electronic 13 Disciplines Assessment via e-mail or diskette.
After team members complete and return the assessment, we generate
a report for your team that compiles all scores into a comprehensive
team score for each of the 13 disciplines. These scores indicate
areas of team strength and areas for improvement. If multiple
teams in your organization are completing the assessment-or have
completed it in the past-you also have the option of comparing
your team's scores with the average score for teams across your
organization.
Along with the team scoring report, your team receives a list
of developmental recommendations for each of the 13 disciplines.
These developmental recommendations can be used to help your
team identify an action plan for improvement in its weakest areas.
While being good at any or all of the 13 disciplines over
the short haul means little in terms of team effectiveness, being
good at all of them--and demonstrating the ability to continuously
improve performance in each discipline--is the pathway to sustained
high performance.
