Team Profile

The Team Profile Indicators were introduced to in D2D 5.0 and 5.1, as part of a research study. Members’ answers to these questions have given AFHTO members some hints about enablers of quality that we can chase down. This is grounded in the “dimensions of teamwork” framework developed through an earlier study of FHTs by Dr. Brown and her colleagues (1). We are particularly interested in what works and why. Even though the initial research study is complete, we are keeping these indicators in D2D to help us answer the question, What is helping teams get even better? Using the data you shared with us in D2D 5.0 and 5.1, we were able to refine this section and make it shorter. As with the rest of D2D, answering these questions is optional, and data remains confidential. You may choose to submit data for as many or as few of the indicators as your team is comfortable with.
