AI platform for Team development
Teamenergy It shows, for each team, what’s putting pressure on collaboration, results, and people—months before it shows up in the numbers. And the team can get to work on it right away.
We won't meet the quarterly target. No one saw this coming.

You don't need an outside coach or an expensive program. The team takes care of it on its own, through the meetings that are already taking place. This works in every sector.
You’ll see how your team is performing in areas such as workload, collaboration, and the 6 energies, compared to the top-performing teams. The assessment reveals where the friction lies before it manifests in absenteeism, turnover, or poor results.
Based on the results, you’ll receive team exercises tailored to your team’s development phase, ready to be discussed at your next team meeting. The team will work through them on its own, and AI coach Luca will be there to help with any questions. Would you like guidance? In that case, a Teamenergy coach will join you, or your own coach will follow up on your results.
Reassess every 4 months. That way, you’ll see what sticks, where the team is falling behind, and whether it’s gradually closing the gap with the top-performing teams. The scores for those teams are based on 6 years of promotional research conducted at VU Amsterdam.
Choose what's relevant to you. You'll immediately see what the metrics reveal and how the team uses that information.
Does any of this sound familiar to you?After a 15-minute assessment per team member, you’ll see where the issues lie in your team and what you can do about them on your own—even without an outside coach.
Start your measurement15 minHere's how a measurement works. Choose a step and see what the team sees at that moment.
As a team, you’re going through a phase that’s very energy-intensive. There’s a strong underlying drive to do good work, but at the same time, it feels like your reserves are running low. This is because the team has been under a lot of pressure for some time now. Things are hectic and there’s a sense of unease—and perhaps also the feeling that improvement is a long way off.
What makes the situation even more challenging is the lack of peace and stability. There isn't enough time to catch your breath or to take a step back and observe the way you all work.
The current situation is a turning point. The main challenge, therefore, is not to work harder, but to consciously slow down.
Your collaboration shows that there is a willingness to engage in dialogue. You do not shy away from discussion and are willing to bring different opinions to the table. However, the effectiveness of this is limited by a fragile foundation.
On the one hand, there is a very clear and shared vision of the higher goal; everyone knows why you’re doing this. On the other hand, the most basic conditions needed to achieve this goal are lacking.
Development PhaseFire hazard
Why is our “ stress ” so high, even though the workload isn’t that bad?
Your stress is well above that of the top-performing teams, while the workload is manageable. The stress is more likely to stem from something else, such as resources or management.
What task could you eliminate or postpone this week? The "Task Tag" exercise can help you do that in 30 minutes.

Two teams, two very different starting points. Both took another measurement a year later.
Dr. Cees van der ZwanFounder of the “ Teamenergy ” model
Cees van der Zwan earned his Ph.D. from VU University Amsterdam in 2017 with a dissertation on energy in teams. Together with Leonie van der Zwan-Lindhout, he developed it into a methodology. Team leaders use it themselves. HR consultants, team coaches, interim managers, and trainers apply the methodology in their own work.
Much of what is introduced to teams has little or even a negative effect. Most of the time, it simply doesn't fit the team's current stage. That's why Teamenergy starts with the stage.

No matter what your role is, the team will take the results and put them to work on their own.
Team Leaders
It takes everyone 15 minutes to complete the assessment. Within a week, you'll see what's holding the team back—and what you can already do in your next meeting.

HR, L&D, and Executive Management
Assess each team individually. Each team works with its own results and action plan, and you can see which team needs attention first. Start small, with just a few teams.
Customized Plan for More Teams
Coaches and consultants
Assess the team before your first session so you'll know what stage it's in and what approach is best suited to that stage. Between sessions, the team continues to work on its own.
Work with usYou pay a single fee per team, regardless of how many employees are on it. Compare that fee to what it costs you to do nothing.
A single sick day costs you 21 times as much as a year's worth of " Teamenergy " for the entire team.
Continued pay plus about 30% in employer contributions. We’re not even factoring in replacement costs and work that gets left undone.
From team members to privacy officers. These are the questions we get asked most often.
Aren't you the only one who decides this?
No. The survey is anonymous at the team level. Individual responses cannot be traced back to specific individuals, not even by the Team leader or by HR. The report shows only the team, and only if there are at least 5 team members.
No. The survey results are not taken into account in performance evaluations, hiring, or compensation. That wouldn't be possible anyway, because the results never reveal what any one person answered.
An MTO looks at the entire organization, while DISC and Insights focus on the individual. “ Teamenergy ” looks at the team and shows whether it is moving forward together. They complement each other and do not replace one another.
The data is stored in the Netherlands or elsewhere in the EU. The measurement complies with the GDPR and the EU AI Act. The data processing agreement and the information needed for a DPIA are ready, as customers frequently request them.
The assessment takes 15 minutes per team member. The team exercises that follow last from 5 minutes to over an hour and can be incorporated into regular meetings. No implementation process is required.
No. AI coach Luca helps the team between meetings. If a team is in a phase where guidance is needed, the platform will indicate this, and you can bring in a team coach.
The metrics show, in numbers, whether a team is making progress together. You can compare those numbers to those of the top teams and track them over time.
The team takes measurements and gets to work on its own, incorporating short team exercises into their existing meetings. No coach is needed to get things started. A follow-up measurement will show whether it’s working.
You can see what’s putting pressure on your team’s performance, and the team takes care of it on its own. A follow-up assessment after 4 months will show whether the team is making progress.
We'd like to track how this site is used so we can improve it. We'll only do this if you're okay with it.
