The Measuring Tool is used to improve the results of teams.
The basic principle is simple: results are a matter of working together. When the way a manager and his or her employees work together is changed in relation to the desired results, the team goals will be realized.
The Results! Measuring Tool was developed under the direction of Marcel Van der Avert and introduced to the international market during a workshop at the ASTD congress (American Society for Training and Development) in 2001 in New Orleans (USA). It has been successfully used in Belgium and the Netherlands in companies and government organizations to improve organizational goal definitions (AXA Group, Ministry of the Flemish Community, Cortal Consors, Celanese, Van Breda International, Unil Belgium, the council of Kortrijk, among others).
The Results! Measuring Tool © helps to precisely map the ways you and your employees work together.
