AdvancingX

Our mission is to continue identifying the most important human factors known to influence team success and team decision making.

Problem

Organizations have predominantly focused on individual screening, training and selection tools designed to identify individual skills, knowledge and abilities. In fact, there are hundreds of assessments, psychological studies and research evaluations supporting individual performance. The problem is that there’ s no focus on team metrics or team design.

Solution

AdvancingX leaders understand the current climate and need for research that supports team-centered (human-centered) design and how measurable functional characteristics influence team outcomes and performance. It addresses these gaps through ongoing research and development focused on identifying;

1. measurable functional characteristics and their influence on team success/outcomes
2. how the addition of one team member influences team success

The above graph illustrates OTI scores that optimize team design. In this example the optimal team design would be made up of individuals who have an OTI score between 57.24 and 67.35.

In 2015, Dr. Diaz published peer reviewed research which successfully identified functional characteristics known to influence team outcomes; a functional approach aimed at identifying causal relationships to situational outcomes among individual characteristics and team outcomes. The research was applied to create the Organizational Team Index (OTI).
