Discover the 7 Deadly Sins DISC Trainers Make and How To Avoid Them

Team Dimensions 2.0

Using an intuitive two-dimensional model, the Team Dimensions Profile 2.0 helps individuals discover what they contribute to group projects and how they can thrive in team settings. Furthermore, the report offers personalized feedback on the respondent’s strengths and challenges when working as part of a team, and it presents information on what people of different roles may contribute to the group as well.

Team Dimensions Profile 2.0 is a value-added version of the popular Team Dimensions Profile. While staying true to the original team roles and "Z" process, the Team Dimensions Profile 2.0 report incorporates an engaging, conversational style and includes a number of enhancements. Even though the report has been expanded, it's even simpler and easier to understand than the original. The model has been enhanced as well, so it tells a story visually, making it easier to remember and reinforcing learning.

Paper version also available: Team Dimensions (paper)

What Team Dimensions 2.0 Can Do For You

HELPING PEOPLE WORK MORE EFFECTIVELY IN TEAMS

Successful team members don’t do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the right time. And while team members work together toward a common goal, individuals still must play their separate parts in the process. As organizations rely more and more on teams to innovate, problem-solve, produce, and compete at the speed of change, understanding and capitalizing on individual approaches to group processes is the bottom line on creating high performance teams.

DISCOVER THE RIGHT ROLES FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE

The Team Dimensions Profile is a unique self-directed learning instrument that helps individuals work from their strengths by identifying their most natural team role. Available online via the EPIC platform (what is EPIC?), the Team Dimensions Profile 2.0 helps team members understand the importance of each role and furthers their appreciation of each individual’s contribution. The five roles are:

Creator: generates ideas
Advancer: communicates ideas
Refiner: challenges ideas
Executor: implements ideas
Flexer: steps in to fill in the gaps

Although most people can stretch to perform most of the roles, these stretches are often stressful and energy consumining if they last too long. The most effective teams consist of individuals who play to their strengths and embrace their natural talents. The key is to realise that everyone has a preferred role that can be tapped to help teams create their best solutions.

“Z PROCESS” KEEPS TEAMS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

The Team Dimensions Profile 2.0 maps the flow of assigning roles, completing tasks, and handing off tasks to other team members through the Z Process. In this relay process, tasks are passed from Creators to Advancers, from Advancers to Refiners, and from Refiners to Executors. Flexers keep the process moving by filling gaps in the team.

CAPITALIZE ON INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS FOR TOTAL TEAM PERFORMANCE

The Team Dimensions Profile helps teams in your organization:

identify individual approaches to innovative teamwork
match individual strengths with team roles
reinforce and appreciate the contributions of others
reduce team stress and conflict
foster trust and build mutual support
encourage team innovation and problem-solving
reduce project cycle time and increase productivity

The Team Dimensions Profile and its unique Z Process help you begin and end with success in meeting the team challenge. It’s a proven way to clarify roles, simplify processes, and maximize individual contributions for total team results.
