Goldcrest Partners is expert in evaluating and developing teams. We use our proprietary High Performing Team diagnostic to identify areas of strength and weakness, enhance individual and collective capability, and galvanise teams on the path towards high performance.

Improving the self-awareness of team members enables better communication and understanding of each other every day. This creates opportunities for reciprocity and engagement between different teams and different layers of the business.

At Goldcrest Partners, we are expert in evaluating teams. Our work highlights gaps that need addressing and strengths to be greater enhanced.  We can then support you build on the strengths of existing teams or in helping new teams better bond more quickly and align their sense of purpose.

At a Teams level, profiling and assessment for teams focuses on the collective capabilities of the group.  This has value in both team development and team acquisition contexts. Gathering evidence of the manifest dynamics of people within the group provides valuable information to improves decision making. In addition, this understanding enables a measure of the cultural impact the group has upon the broader business to be calibrated.

Understanding better the existing behavioural capabilities within teams whether fully established, newly created, merged, expanding or in a due diligence process, helps to gauge the effectiveness of team performance and informs acquisition and development decisions. 

At Goldcrest Partners we use best-in class psychometrics and proprietary diagnostics to better understand the collective behavioural make-up of a team. Using reputable psychometric tools, interpreted by trained practitioners will reveal the current attributes, as well as gaps, barriers and behavioural stress points. Combining these insights with our understanding of how high performing teams function along with our deep knowledge of the financial service sector, furnishes you with the data on which sound acquisition and development decisions can be made.
