ETBO is a scientific methodology and digital platform for diagnosing, designing and empowering high-performance teams. It is based on behavioural science, data and innovation and agility tools to convert groups into functional teams in a measurable and sustainable way.
ETBO is the acronym for Easy Teamwork Behaviour Observation. We also present it as: ETBO - Human Empowerment Through Behavioral Science, Innovation and Data.
ETBO was born from a mixed scientific research: inductive (direct observation) and deductive (based on psychological theories and models). Validated by the UAB, it was developed by Dr. in psychology Joan Anton Ros and adapted to agile and organisational environments.
Identifies the predominant behaviours in collaborative contexts and detects the natural role(s) of each person in a team.
Yes, each brings a key part to the functioning of the team. A team may not have all 8 roles but it will need to understand what it has and what it lacks to maximise its potential and performance.
ETBO does not just identify individual personality traits. It goes one step further: it analyses the actual behaviours that emerge in collaborative contexts and helps to redesign teams from within. Unlike classic tests, ETBO looks at how the team functions as a system. This makes it possible to understand why certain teams flow... and others get blocked.
Through the ETBO Team Scan, which assesses the evolution of the team in terms of cohesion, collaboration, self-awareness, use of tools, and perception of impact before and after the intervention.
Diagnosis, reports, feedback to the leader, session with the team, personalised coaching, workshops, resources, collaborative tools and a TeamPulseCheck of impact before the intervention and after 3-6 months.
Yes, the platform and methodology is 100 % digital and compatible with decentralised equipment.
Between 1 and 4 weeks, depending on the depth. The test and reports can be delivered in a few days; the accompaniment is adapted to your pace.
When you are building a new team, when you have detected tensions or lack of alignment, or simply when you know you have good talent, but it doesn't quite work as a team. It is also useful before key processes: an organisational transformation, a leadership change or a restructuring. ETBO acts as a quick and useful x-ray to make decisions about people and dynamics.
This is precisely where ETBO adds the most value. In structures with many team changes, it is easy to generate misunderstandings, overlaps or loss of focus. ETBO makes it possible to map the real team (the functional one, not the hierarchical one) and to understand how its members relate to each other, which profiles predominate and how collective performance can be optimised.
ETBO allows you to redesign the team or rebalance it according to new members. You can repeat the test or reinforce it with integration sessions.
High Impact Teams: project teams, sales, consulting, leadership...
Dynamic Teams/enterprise: complex structures, multiple departments and transformation processes.
Yes, you can do a test with report + individual session with an ETBO Partner. Ideal for coaching, career guidance, leadership development or change processes.
Yes. In fact, we recommend starting with 1 team (high impact teams) before rolling it out to the whole organisation (Dynamic teams).
Yes, although it does not replace selection tools, it allows a better understanding of the integration of new profiles in the team and prevents frictions.
ETBO helps to reduce unproductive time, clarify roles and avoid unproductive conflicts. Our clients report improvements in cohesion, motivation and efficiency after implementing the tool. Decision-making processes are also streamlined and trust between team members is strengthened. It's not just self-awareness: it's conscious dynamic design.
You will receive your two predominant roles, an individual and a team report. From there, you can choose different routes: a strategic feedback with the team, coaching sessions for the leader, development workshops or even a quarterly follow-up. ETBO is not an isolated test: it is a modular and comprehensive system that adapts to the real needs of your organisation.
You can contact us for a demo or a customised proposal. We adapt the package according to your company, number of teams and needs.
Yes, we have models per team, per volume of reports, annual licences or subscriptions (especially for consultancies, academies and large organisations).
Psychologists, coaches, facilitators, experts in agility or organisational culture who want to accompany teams with rigour. It is not necessary to have worked with ETBO previously.
Practical training, access to materials, real cases, support from ETBO Advisors, presence in the ecosystem and the possibility of intervening as a facilitator.
Yes, once certified, you can apply the ETBO methodology with your clients. Reports and services are always contracted through ETBO to maintain traceability.
ETBO does not compete, it complements. If you have already used personality-centred tools, you will see how ETBO brings you an additional layer focused on observable behaviour and group dynamics. You can integrate previous learning and build a more functional team from there. Many of our partners combine tools in their talent processes.
Yes, we comply with all European data protection regulations (GDPR) and apply anonymisation criteria when it comes to collective feedback. The results are shared with whoever you authorise, and we always respect the confidentiality of the teams.
All you need is for your team to complete the online test, which takes less than 15 minutes. From there, we generate the reports and help you interpret the results and design the next steps. You can also request a demo to see how it would work for you.
If there is role confusion, lack of alignment, demotivation, unproductive conflict or low efficiency, your team probably needs an ETBO intervention.
