Research Partnerships
Advancing our understanding of team performance.
We welcome collaboration with researchers, organizations, and operational teams interested in the complex, adaptive dynamics of teamwork.
Research partnerships can help strengthen the evidence for the OTP Profile and explore how team dynamics relate to performance across settings and over time.
The OTP framework is grounded in teamwork research. Development and validation of the assessment are ongoing.

Opportunities for collaboration
Questions we can explore together.
Strengthen the evidence.
Contribute to research examining the OTP Profile’s structure, reliability, and validity, including how its findings relate to other measures and relevant performance outcomes.
Study teamwork in context.
Explore how leadership engagement, relational elements, mission focus, and action processes interact with the demands of different teams, organizations, and operational settings.
Follow the dynamics over time.
Investigate how team dynamics develop and change with experience, shifting demands, changes in membership, or targeted interventions.
Shaping a partnership
Start with the question that matters.
Collaboration begins by exploring your research question and how assessing the emergent variables of team performance can help answer it.
Actively engaged curiosity.
We’ll discuss the team context that you’re interested in exploring.
Shape the study together.
Together, we’ll explore whether you’d like to license one of our team assessments or collaborate on research and co-author publications that offer new insights into team performance.
Set a plan of action.
Agree on roles, data access, interpretation, and how findings will be shared before the work begins.
