Collaboration Style Assessment
When collaborative efforts aren't proceeding smoothly, managers often look to external factors such as new productivity tools, team reorganisation or more frequent meetings to solve the problem. The thing is tools, tweaks and meetings hardly ever do more than address surface-level issues. If you really want to supercharge the effectiveness of your team you need to understand the collaborative style of your team members. The collaboration style assessment from C-me can do this for you.
How A Collaborative Style Assessment Can Help
Most knowledge workers fit into one of 3 main collaborative styles: expressive, introspective and relational.
The expressive collaborator prefers to use tools that enable them to visualise how different aspects of an issue or project may be connected. They also enjoy brainstorming and riffing on ideas with their teammates.
The introspective collaborator prefers working and researching alone and deliberating long and hard before bringing his or her ideas before the team.
While the relational collaborator prefers more personal connections with individual teammates before large meetings kick-off, and they generally prefer collaboration tools that are easy to learn and use.
It might seem that creating a high-performing team out of a collection of individuals with such diverse preferences may be asking too much. However, the different collaborative styles do share common ground that can be cultivated and leveraged to produce a more high-performing team. And the C-me collaborative styles assessment can help you determine who is what type of collaborator.

The Origins of C-me
C-me is the collective brainchild of a team of professionals who spent many years coaching individuals, teams and organisations using the popular assessment tools of the day. Over time they became dissatisfied with the insights, or lack thereof, produced by standard personality-based assessment tools and set out on their own to create something better.
The result was C-me. A behaviour-orientated assessment tool that provides a much richer and more useful profile that team leaders, HR professionals and others can use to help create high-performing teams. Today C-me is used by a slew of high-profile businesses and institutions including Oracle, HSBC, Virgin Active, the BBC, the NHS and many more.
