02 / Voices behind the data
Collaboration Lens Live TM enables teams to hear perspectives and experiences from three audiences.
TEAM EXPERIENCE
Invite team members to quickly access Collaboration Lens Live TM and rate their experience of being a member of the team against 8 core collaboration traits.
At the next team meeting feel ready to explore the collective responses and notice the patterns emerging. The question - what can we each commit to doing to enhance our shared ways of working?
TEAM LEADER FEEDBACK
Team leaders may want to receive specific feedback from the team to get a sense of how they can further enhance their contribution.
Collaboration Lens Live TM allows Team Leaders to informally ask the team for regular feedback. This is intended as 'in the moment' continuous feedback that fosters a culture of open dialogue for shared learning.

04 / Beyond the DATA
Collaboration Lens Live helps teams notice changes in how they are working together. Repeated and regular check-ins make the ups and downs visible and enables team to reflect on the actions they can take to enhance ways of working.
To help make these conversations value adding we provide a Toolkit full of practical guidance and tools.
The practical Toolkit
Each element of the Collaboration Lens has an associated Toolkit. Easy to access, practical top tips, suggested meeting agendas and coaching style questions help teams explore together and agree their next steps.
05 / The Lens in motion
Watch how individual check-ins become a team picture, then how repeated check-ins can reveal change over time.
Here's The Collaboration Lens in action. Eight qualities that create great collaboration make the Collaboration Lens. Team members and leaders share their experiences of each - simply noting their score out of ten on each dimension.
As teams respond over the months, Collaboration Lens Live tracks how the responses shift. No rights or wrongs, but curiosity to understand how we are working and the experience we are all having.
MY LENS
01 / 04
A single response creates a starting shape, but cannot yet describe the whole team. One check-in creates a starting point — useful, but not yet the whole story.
Collaboration over time

06 / Privacy matters

Security and privacy is critical and so controlled access and secure handling of data is at the core. We adhere to UK and EU data protection expectations and can explore these critical matters with you in more depth.
