Do they have genuine concern for each other’s welfare?
Does the relationship between team members enable truly close collaboration?
Purpose Motivation
How do the team work functionally together in balancing accountability and autonomy?

Leadership

What distinguishes PERILL Team Diagnostics from other diagnostic tools?
Unlike conventional methods, PERILL offers a comprehensive approach that takes into account the complexity of teams as adaptive systems. Instead of merely identifying symptoms, PERILL uncovers the underlying causes of challenges by analysing the interactions between the various aspects of the team. This enables sustainable change rather than short-term solutions.
