01 TEAM IQ CREATOR
Your transformation finished. The performance never arrived.
TEAM IQ Creator puts a number on how well your teams think together — and then raises it, pillar by pillar, with evidence you can put in front of a board.
02 THE PROBLEM
You are not short of capable people.
You are short of collective intelligence.
Three things are true in almost every organisation we are asked to look at. None of them is a people problem, and all of them are measurable.
01 — The process
The process is finished. The delivery is not.
You invested in Agile, SAFe, DevOps and a PMO. The frameworks are in place, the training is done, and delivery is still unpredictable. That is not a failure of the framework. It is what happens when the framework meets reality.
02 — The intelligence
The answers are in the room. Nobody is asking for them.
The people closest to the work know exactly what is slowing it down. Nothing in your operating model asks them to say it out loud, and nothing rewards them if they do.
03 — The evidence
Team development is bought on faith and measured in workshops.
Boards fund things they can watch move. Nobody has shown your board a number that represents the team's capability, so the budget goes to something that can be counted.
03 THE EVIDENCE
This is not a theory. It is a measured effect.
Our method is built on published research, not on our own conviction. Four findings matter more than the rest.
04 THE METHOD
Six pillars. One measurement cycle. A number that moves.
TEAM IQ Creator scores a team across six pillars. Each pillar has four chapters, a set of named measurement tools, and exercises that produce working artefacts — not workshop notes.
TARGET
A valuable result the whole team can see, with a baseline, a target and a review date.
EXPRESSION
Communication that creates understanding rather than volume — safety, clarity, listening, conflict.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Shared certainty about who owns which outcome, what evidence proves it, and how handoffs work.
MINDSET
How the team reads challenge, uncertainty, failure and difference — and whether it tests or debates.
INSIGHT
Sound, timely decisions made where the information is richest, with triggers that force a re-decide.
QUALITY
The right value, to the right standard, at the right cost and time — measured including rework.
The measurement cycle runs through every pillar: Set a measurable target · Communicate what you know and what you are assuming · Own the outcome and its evidence · Learn by testing the riskiest assumption · Decide and improve from value, risk and quality data. Fourteen named tools sit inside those five stages.

06 FOR YOUR BOARD
Take it to the board without us in the room.
A £45,000 decision is not made by the person who reads this page. It is made in a meeting your champion attends without us. So we wrote the page for them — and for your CFO.
One-page business case
Cost, risk, payback and the three questions a board actually asks — on a single printable page. No email required.
Cost-of-inaction model
Enter your own numbers and see what the current Team IQ is costing you annually. Every assumption is visible and editable, so the figure survives scrutiny.
Sample diagnostic report
A redacted real report, so the board sees exactly what they receive — pillar scores, radars, risk profile and a prioritised 90-day plan.
07 WHO IT IS FOR
Built for organisations with more than one team.
This is for you if…
- You run 200 to 2,000 people, or £50m to £500m of turnover, across several delivery teams.
- You have already done the transformation — Agile, SAFe, DevOps, a PMO — and delivery is still unpredictable.
- Predictability and throughput have reached the board agenda.
- You want a number you can re-measure, not another framework to roll out.
- You can give us access to real teams and real work, not just to leadership.
This is not for you if…
- You want a motivational away-day or a personality profile.
- You have one team and a single product.
- You are looking for another framework to roll out across the organisation.
- Nobody senior will sponsor the work or look at the numbers.
08 WHO RUNS IT
Run by someone who has had to deliver, not just advise.
TEAM IQ Creator was built by Andrew Phillips after 28 years of delivering technology and change programmes — including work recognised with a Computing Cloud Project of the Year award and an Nvidia Best Newcomer award, and nine motorsport championships where a fraction of a second decides the outcome.
The method exists because the same problem kept appearing in different industries: capable people, working hard, inside a process that could not use their combined intelligence.
Credentials
- 28 years in delivery and transformation
- Computing Cloud Project of the Year
- Nvidia Best Newcomer award
- Nine motorsport championships

09 QUESTIONS
The questions we are asked before anyone signs anything.
How is this different from team-building or a personality assessment?
Team-building changes how people feel for a day. Personality tools describe individuals. TEAM IQ measures how the team thinks together, scores it, and re-measures it after you have changed something. If the number does not move, we have not finished.
Do we have to run a full programme to get value?
No. Most organisations start with the £1,200 diagnostic session on one area of concern. You leave with a written Team IQ Score and a prioritised action plan, and that fee is credited in full against a programme if you continue.
How long does a corporate programme take?
Twelve to sixteen weeks across all six pillars, with training and exercises for each team, dashboards so you can watch the scores move, and quarterly re-measurement.
Will this survive a board scrutiny?
That is the design goal. Every claim on this site is cited, the cost-of-inaction model shows all of its assumptions, and the sample diagnostic report shows the board exactly what they will receive before you commit.
We have already done Agile, SAFe and a transformation. Why now?
Because the process was never the constraint. If your framework was the answer, delivery would be predictable by now. TEAM IQ works on the team that has to operate the framework when reality does not match the plan.
10 NEXT STEP
Start with the area that hurts most.
Book a 90-minute diagnostic session on one area of concern. You leave with a written Team IQ Score, a prioritised action plan and two exercises your team can start on this week. If you continue into a programme, the fee is credited in full.
