Team Flow Research

In our research on conceptualizing and influencing team flow, we have found that our appreciative inquiry methods actually promote team flow. This is because it makes participants aware of the necessary conditions for team flow.

So above all, let’s research team flow together within your team and/or organization to positively influence collaboration within your organization!

Why research team flow?

So by doing research on team flow you make participants aware of flow and team flow. These are also very relevant concepts for people the they also find very important to experience during their work.

So how do we do that?

We have scientifically developed various methodologies and instruments to encourage team flow in an appreciative manner within teams and organizations. We can do this for example by using interviews , psychological questionnaires, physiological measuring instruments, focus groups, design thinking, observations, case studies in team development projects.

What it delivers

Flow is a state we experience when we are fully absorbed in an activity, accompanied by a motivated and energetic focus. In a moment of team flow, we experience this together while performing mutually dependent tasks for the team’s sake. We then perform better, experience more satisfaction and happiness, and are truly meaningful for what the team was created for. So a very big win-win for both employee and employer to get a grip on this!

Our research

We have also developed our own methodologies

Many of our methodologies and tools have been developed through doing scientific research. We call these our Team Flow Boosters. Here are some examples that we frequently use successfully in practice.

Team Flow Monitor

The Team Flow Monitor enables participants to recognize and create the conditions for team flow in the collaborations they establish among themselves.

Personal Flow Monitor

The Personal Flow Monitor enables participants to recognize and create the conditions for flow in their tasks/roles.

The Team Flow Canvas

The Team Flow Canvas helps team members create the conditions for experiencing team flow step by step when embarking on a new collaboration.

We create content about team flow in the form of blogs, videos and scientific publications. Below is a selection:

Developing and Testing the Team Flow Monitor (TFM).

In August 2019, Jef van den Hout and his research colleagues Josette Gevers, Orin Davis, and Mathieu Weggeman published the article "Developing and Testing the Team Flow Monitor. In doing so, they validated the Team Flow Monitor as an instrument to measure team flow and additionally tested whether team flow potentially leads to both individual and team outcomes. An interesting finding within this research is that the conditions for team flow together lead to better team performance, and the experience of the team flow moment leads to greater individual happiness.

Clinical team flow in the perioperative environment: a qualitative single-centre study

To improve team dynamics in the operating room (OR), this study examined the concept of "team flow." Key success factors included familiarity, complementary skills, open communication and aligned goals. Interventions that focus on these factors (through structure and training) can significantly improve collaboration and efficiency in the OR.
