Your crews and shore teams span vessels, ports, time zones and nationalities. We can name the friction before it costs you.

Before you map your team, map yourself.

The individual assessment behind this tool is free and public. Take it yourself in about 15 minutes and get your own cross-cultural profile — how you communicate, build trust, give feedback and handle difference — shown on screen, emailed to you, and yours to download. It’s the fastest way to feel what your team would experience — though the full team assessment is far more comprehensive, surfacing significantly more data on where your team’s friction actually sits.

Four stages. One coherent engagement.

Each stage delivers its own value. The assessment maps the friction; what follows is matched to your team — how dispersed they are, onshore or offshore, where in the world they sit, and what the data actually shows. There is no single fixed path.

One number. Five dimensions. Your team, mapped.

The Team Cultural Health Score is a weighted composite across five dimensions. For a dispersed marine team, the two dimensions that most commonly need attention are psychological safety — because crews split across vessels and shore rarely invest in the conditions for honest contribution — and team dynamics, which suffers most when contact is infrequent and rotational. Move the slider to explore what each band means.

Named collisions. Specific people. Real dynamics.

Marine and offshore operations routinely bring together professionals from Northern Europe, Southeast Asia, West Africa, the Americas and beyond — across vessels, rigs, ports and onshore offices, often with minimal shared working culture and no common framework for how decisions get made or feedback gets given. For each of nine behavioural scales, the tool identifies where team members sit furthest apart. A wide gap does not always mean friction — high CQ can bridge significant differences — but it names exactly what to watch.

All potential gap points are surfaced — not just the largest. In our experience with globally dispersed technical teams, a typical report flags 2–4 significant gaps for a moderately diverse team, up to 7–8 for a highly dispersed international team, plus five hidden pattern detections from combined scores. Teams with strong CQ may have wide gaps that are already being navigated well — the report names both the risk and the readiness.

What you receive before any work begins.

A professional report that names the team’s actual dynamics — specific gap points, individual psychological safety scores, CQ readiness, and a recommended way forward with measurable targets. For most marine and offshore teams, this will be the first time their cultural dynamics have ever been mapped. The report is ready within 48 hours of your last participant completing the assessment.

Five validated frameworks. One integrated model.

The assessment draws on the most rigorous research in cross-cultural behaviour and team psychology, integrated into a single diagnostic tool. These are the same frameworks used by the world’s leading intercultural researchers — applied specifically to the dynamics of dispersed, multinational marine and maritime teams.
