Energy and transport organizations are committed to delivering responsibly and safely, preventing harm to our employees, contractors, local communities and the environment. Most organizations are also transitioning to Agile teams or are taking a more team based approach. In this post I will show how to combine this and reduce the number of safety incidents\u00a0<\/p>

Background<\/h3>

Since 2014 I am using team assessments to find areas of improvement. Specifically I am using scientifically validated surveys to measure team development. The research by\u00a0 Richard Hackman and his research team (Ruth Wageman) is well known. \u00a0I have read most of his book and discovered the Team Diagnostic Survey. This validated survey can be used to check\u00a06 enabling conditions for team effectiveness:<\/p>

On these “team enabling conditions<\/a>” I have written earlier:<\/p>

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Is a team a\u00a0real team<\/a>?<\/p>

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Does a team have a\u00a0compeling team purpose<\/a>?<\/p>

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Are the right People On Board?<\/a><\/p>

6 Team Conditions<\/strong><\/p>

Digging through the research from Richard Hackman I learned he died in January 2013. \u00a0His college\u00a0Ruth Wageman and \u00a0Krister Lowe started\u00a06 Team Conditions<\/a>. They offer Team Diagnostic Survey online. Next they offer trainings and certifications for \u00a0using the Team Diagnostic Survey. The website and podcast are very interesting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Results<\/strong><\/p>

In 2018 I used the team diagnostic survey gebruikt in an agile transition. 13 cyberdefense teams were trained and coached in using Scrum, Kanban and Lean. \u00a0At the start of the transitions I used the team diagnostic survey and other assessments for a baseline assessment. \u00a0At the end I repeated the assessment. The results were:<\/p>
