The Forge Assessment Hub
You want your people to work together in the best way possible? Bingo! But how does one achieve this? Join the club of thousands of managers, leaders and entrepreneurs who don’t really know how to measure collaboration. Luckily, we do!
Based on your results, our behavioral scientists provide you with personalized and actionable advice that gives you a clear idea of your current collaboration strengths and weaknesses and how to improve it. So don’t panic, we have your back.
How good do you collaborate with each other? Let us take a look at how your team collaborates and where we can improve!
You might think that in a team 1 + 1 = 3. I’m sorry to break it to you, but research shows that when it comes to collaboration 1 + 1 = 0,3. So how’s your team doing on collaboration? Let us diagnose how your team collaborates and where we can improve!
To assess your team, we work with a validated 5-point checklist. A checklist that allows you to rate your team, department or organisation on each point. We did not invent these five points ourselves. Nope. The same factors are used to measure collaboration in scientific research.
We only need each participant to answer our 38 questions. It takes about 7 minutes to find out your collaboration profile! With that data, we provide you with clear answers to the following 5 crucial points:
Vision
Does everyone in your team or organisation pursue a clear, common goal?
Trust
Do they all share their expertise with each other, listen to the expertise of others and dare to say what they think?
Initiative
Do they help each other when new things need to be tried out?
Quality
Do they improve each other in their work to achieve high quality standards?
Interaction
How often do they interact with each other?
More Than Just Assessments
Collaboration Profile
You cannot change what you don't understand. Our assessments indicate your current collaboration profile so that you can strategically understand what makes people collaborate well with each other and where you can improve.
Collaboration Map
Our behavioral scientists developed a cutting-edge analysis technique in collaboration with Ghent University. We use it to provide you with a personalized and actionable report with strategies to succesfully achieve high-quality collaboration in your team. With our follow-up assessments we verify if the approach obtained the desired result. Sit back and relax, we got your back!
Team Comparisons
Different yet alike. Examine whether different groups collaborate differently.By taking a closer look at subgroups, we can identify which groups show signs of strong collaboration and which groups show signals of suboptimal collaboration. This way you know where to support teams and which teams can be used as an inspiration to strengthen collaboration for others!
Just like a doctor needs a valid diagnose to prescribe appropriate treatment, our assessments give a clear image of your collaboration profile.
Interested in finding out how people collaborate in your teams? We got your back! Our behavioral scientists quantified the unquantifiable and can accurately and reliably assess your team. Using their expertise, we provide you with a tailor-made report full of advice, action steps and concrete interventions that can serve as the basis to develop high-quality collaboration!
More than a Buzzword
Culture
We leave culture up to the artists in theaters. Rather, we focus on human behavior and how people work together. For that, we disentangle your culture into different layers of values, norms and habits.
Values
People find different things important when it comes to high-quality collaboration. Do they prefer cohesiveness, or is flexibility very important to them? Our assessments indicate what people value when it comes to working together.
Norms
Explore how your people perceive their work environment and what expectations they have about working together. Delve into the prevailing norms for collaboration in your organization.
Habits
Uncover the shared cultural habits and customs that people share in your organization. Gain insights into how unique cultural practices determine the quality of working together.

Cultural differences
Different yet alike. Examine whether groups within your company cooperate differently. Or if you are on the verge of merging with or acquiring another company you could use clear insights in where culture is aligned and where it differs. This will help you to get to a smooth integration process.
Company Culture Profile
The word 'culture' was probably mentioned during a meeting? Bingo! Join the club of thousands of managers, leaders and entrepreneurs who don’t really know for sure what 'culture' exactly is, let alone how to measure or change it.
Don’t panic. Behavioral scientists have long been developing accurate ways to measure culture. The Forge uses these validated scales to assess your culture! To do so, we only need each employee to answer 24 questions on our user-friendly online platform. This means that it takes just 5 minutes to find out which culture prevails in your organization! After that, we'll summarize your results all in a nice report with concrete advice, and an analysis of potential subcultures in your organization.
However, we don't stop there! After the report, our team of behavioral experts examines how the prevailing culture determines the collaboration of your employees. Using techniques from decades of scientific research, we then design a cultural change trajectory with only one destination: high-quality collaboration!
Our Approach
All of our assessments are completed online on our professional user-friendly platform. Next, using the expertise of our team of behavioral scientists, your results are transformed into a convenient report. That report can be used to further develop and implement tailor-made approaches to optimize the quality of collaboration in your organization.
