Collective Advantage is a unique psychological safety psychometric, built on extensive research and client work in the field of psychological safety, that provides organisations with an in-depth measure of the team dynamics that drive high performance.
Psychological safety boosts team and organisation performance.
Leveraging the comprehensive model developed by Matthew Syed Consulting, Collective Advantage comprehensively assesses current levels of psychological safety across a team, function or organisation, gathering data from different perspectives, and pinpointing actionable approaches to drive change where most needed for maximum impact.
Get in touch with us to explore how you can leverage our psychological safety psychometric to measure and boost your team and organisation performance.
The extent to which people make an effort to welcome others, value differences, make use of others’ unique skills, experiences, and perspectives, and treat others fairly.
The extent to which people value collaboration, proactively share information, offer help and support, work together, and address poor relationships.
The extent to which people feel safe to voice their opinions openly, offer suggestions for improvement, provide feedback, raise concerns, and constructively debate issues.
The extent to which people view mistakes as opportunities to learn, and feel safe to test new approaches and experiment, without being unfairly judged for mistakes.
What individuals think, feel, and do in different workplace situations.
What people see their colleagues think, feel and do in different workplace situations.

Use our psychological safety psychometric to drive meaningful change with detailed insights at an overall level and at a team level, identifying strengths as well as areas for improvement.
In addition to measuring levels of psychological safety, we also offer a range of workshops to help leaders, managers and their teams drive improvement across one or more of the key dimensions to improve team dynamics. These workshops use insights from Collective Advantage and are tailored to your specific needs to help leaders and teams meet their goals and objectives.
Psychometric assessments go through a rigorous design and validation process to measure aspects of people’s beliefs, feelings and behaviours reliably and objectively.
Psychometrics are different to engagement or other surveys which are designed to offer a feedback mechanism and do not normally go through the same rigorous process. Rather than asking people to “tell” the organisation what they think and how they feel, psychometrics assessments aim to objectively measure the underlying thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Example questions from our Collective Advantage psychometric include:
My manager places high importance on making everyone feel included in the team
People often complain about poor collaboration in the organisation
I don’t express my views candidly when I know others have strong views that are different to mine
