The Bates LTPI™ Assessment Certification program provides practitioners with the opportunity to learn to use the Bates LTPI^TM, a unique perspective and way to measure the leading edge essential qualities to high performing teams today, in the context of the team’s business challenges and strategic goals. Participants have the opportunity to incorporate innovation into their work and differentiate their practices to bring value to leaders and their teams in a powerful new way, based on measurement that matters.

The Bates LTPI™ is a validated team assessment that is significantly correlated with an independent measure of team effectiveness, and our research has revealed something no other team assessment has discovered. Most team assessments and research on high performing teams focus only on the behaviors and interactions between team members. Our research based on the Bates LTPI™ conclusively shows that how a team seeks and leverages external sources of information and opinions is also significant factor in perceived team effectiveness.
