Strategic Team Assessment Research (STAR)
MORF Consulting provides proprietary methodology and a research-based approach to organizational development. MORF’s Strategic Team Assessment and Research (STAR) uses organizational network analysis. MORF Consulting has an expertise in using network analysis to assess and address organizational development issues.
STAR measures what is actually going on in your organization. STAR takes an MRI of your organization and answers the questions: who is talking to whom, who isn’t talking to whom and why; who’s the bottleneck, who’s out of the loop, who is trusted and who isn’t. It identifies who energizes the team and who innovates together.
STAR provides objective, real-time analysis that takes the guess work out of team and organizational development.

STAR:
- Heightens Innovation
- Boosts Profitability
- Predicts Problems
- Reduces Costly Errors
