How to use it

Use this prompt to transition from vague feelings of 'team friction' to a structured, data-driven action plan. It is best used after quarterly reviews, during leadership transitions, or when team productivity plateaus.

Tips

Include specific examples of recent team conflicts or successes in the data source placeholder for more tailored advice.
Ask the AI to use specific models like the Lencioni Model or the Groysberg Culture Framework for deeper academic rigor.
If the team is newly formed, instruct the AI to focus on 'Forming and Norming' stages of the Tuckman Model.
Use the output as a discussion document for a leadership offsite to gain buy-in on the proposed roadmap.
Ensure the Core Organizational Values are clearly defined to prevent the AI from suggesting generic corporate culture traits.

Information Gathering

To get the best results, gather qualitative data from 1:1s, anonymous pulse surveys, or recent project retrospectives. Be specific about the 'current challenges'—instead of saying 'poor communication,' specify 'lack of cross-departmental documentation' or 'siloed decision-making.'

Output Framework

The generated report uses a consultant-grade framework. The Diagnostic Summary identifies root causes rather than symptoms, while the 90-day roadmap provides a phased approach (Foundations, Implementation, Reinforcement) to ensure sustainable behavioral change.

Context and Considerations

Consider the remote, hybrid, or in-office nature of the team, as this significantly impacts the 'Communication' and 'Psychological Safety' dimensions of the assessment.
