There are many effective ways to use the tool. Depending on the client’s goals and resources, the consultant will define a scope of work to optimally meet the needs.  

The actual implementation of the TVS can be broken into three steps:

1. Make a plan

2. Implement

3. Debrief

Again, these can be assigned to the phases of the Six Seconds Change MAP:

1. Engage 2. Activate 3. Reflect

Overview of TVS Administration

To administer the TVS, you need to have the EQPM or VS Certification. You set up a project then share the questionnaire URL with the team. The team members, usually also including the leader(s), take the questionnaire, and then you generate a report.

1. The Certified Consultant creates a project on Six Seconds’ Tools Intranet.
   Setup options include: •

   • Project name

   • Project closing date

   • Language of questionnaire and norms

   • Group size (maximum team size is 100; the OVS should be used for larger groups)

   • Consultant & Client logos

   • Customize instructions and the definition of who is on the team.

   • Optionally add demographic question & answer choices (e.g., “Where are you based?” (a) office; (b) field).

   • Optionally add custom question

2. A unique URL is immediately generated for this TVS. Frequently the consultant will share this with the client for review before pushing out the survey.

3. The coach communicates the survey URL to the team. Typically, the team supervisor emails the team about the survey. The invitation email should include three key points:

   1. The importance of the feedback/purpose

   2. Anonymity

   3. Next steps

      
      A typical invitation might look like:

      Group –
      In our continued commitment to improve as we prepare to manage the ABC transition process, I’ve engaged a consultant to assist us to measure and, if necessary, help us tune up our team effectiveness.

      Please click this link to complete an online survey about the team. Your input is anonymous, confidential, and important to me:

      http://SURVEY_URL
      We need your input by Feb 8. It will take you 10-15 minutes.

      We have a team meeting scheduled on Feb 16 where Lorenzo Fariselli will bring the report and review the results with the team. We’ll then decide what, if anything, we want to work on for improvement.

      Thanks, - Joe

4. Team members follow the link to complete the questionnaire online.
   Time: Approximately 15 minutes
   Scope: 45 statements + 4 open questions
   Sample items:

   • The team delivers what it promises.

   • Our team responds quickly to market changes. I am committed to the team's goals.

   • I can count on the people I work with.

   • I know what my responsibilities are on this team.

5. On the survey closing date, the consultant logs into the Intranet and instantly generates and downloads the report.

TVS Cost

The TVS has tiered pricing based on team size, according to the following schedule:

*Assessment credits can be used interchangeably toward any VS or SEI assessment. Credits do not have a cash value and can only be used for assessments
