AMP for Teams: Overview and Explanation
The AMP Assessment is a data-driven tool designed to measure and enhance organizational performance by pinpointing stressors and developmental priorities that hinder individual and team productivity. Created by Bartell & Bartell, Ltd., a leader in organizational diagnostics for over 40 years, AMP uses a concise 15-minute online survey to assess over 30 stressors and 12 performance dimensions, including a unique Organizational Utility Index (OUI) that quantifies team “horsepower.” The assessment provides immediate, actionable insights through visual reports, prioritizing interventions to address work-life imbalances and other barriers. By focusing on both individual and team dynamics, AMP fosters a culture of Servant Leadership, reduces turnover, and enhances morale, making it ideal for organizations seeking to optimize performance and build cohesive teams.
How the Model Works
The AMP model functions through a concise online survey that measures key stressors and organizational dimensions, calculates a team performance score (OUI), analyzes the sequential maturity of ten core dimensions, and delivers visual reports that prioritize targeted interventions—enabling organizations to address root causes, track progress, and drive measurable improvement.
Evaluates over 30 key stressors (e.g., work-life imbalance) and 12 organizational dimensions (e.g., trust, communication) to identify barriers to productivity and team cohesion, using a short online survey.
Calculates a “teamness score” to quantify team performance and health, providing a clear metric of collective potential and operational efficiency.
Assesses 10 evolving organizational dimensions (e.g., vision, collaboration) in the order they typically mature, highlighting sub-par areas for targeted development.
Delivers visual snapshots of individual, team, and organizational performance, prioritizing one or two key stressors or dimensions for immediate intervention, with progress tracking over time.
Enables tailored solutions, such as addressing workplace-specific stressors or leveraging Employee Assistance Programs for external issues, fostering open dialogue and measurable improvement
