What is Team Clock®?
Team Clock® transforms teams, impacting company culture and morale. By identifying and addressing the obstacles interfering with performance, teams can spend more time focusing on their work and less time on the politics of their workplace. Team Clock gives teams the tools they need to adapt to change and repair themselves for the lifespan of the entity.

How We Help
All relationships travel through cycles of growth and change. Whether it’s two people in a partnership, a team of people with a common goal or an organization with a mission, the living entity evolves through predictable stages. At the beginning, the team makes an INVESTMENT in a future together and carefully defines its direction. As the team becomes close and discovers how to work out differences, TRUST becomes the fuel for connection. The foundation of shared values and accountability becomes a platform for INNOVATION. This exploration creates change, which requires some DISTANCING to adjust to what has been lost, refuel and adapt to the new circumstances.
"Teams are messy. Conflict is unavoidable. Dynamics flow with the circumstances, mindsets, and emotions of the members involved. Graduates of top-tier schools are exceptional individual performers, but often struggle in teams."

60 Seconds on the Team Clock
Your Reset Window is About to Close
Whenever a relationship or a team navigates a transition, an opportunity to reset direction opens up. Unfortunately, the depletion that occurs while coping with the change leaves most of us blinded to the benefit. We’re too busy licking our wounds. But if we had a crystal ball, it would foretell the future and remind us that strength arises from adversity. More importantly, it would remind us that there is always a fleeting window of time to reshape our circumstances to our liking.
What’s in the Box?
Sixteen years ago, we published a methodology for measuring the wellness of teams, relationships, and personal growth. In 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted us a trademark. A decade later, our assessment tool achieved research validation in a collaborative study partnering the Data Science programs from Elmhurst University and Carthage College. In addition to validating the tool, their summary cited a 98% predictability outcome between pre- and post-metrics when clients implement recommended actions.
