For those leading or being a member of a management team, the feeling of needing to contribute more may arise. Management team work is often characterized by different opinions and perspectives, and members often wish there was more alignment in their work. What’s important is that the management team has the capabilities to meet the demands of the mission.
Using MTAM as a mapping tool for the management team's capabilities is therefore invaluable. MTAM helps management teams start a concrete development process where the team improves its ability to collaborate and becomes a professional management team.
MTAM is based on self-assessment and focuses on how the work functions within the management team.
Measuring Effectiveness & Collaboration
Each management team receives a unique current situation as the foundation for their development and continued collaboration.
From Current State to Desired State
A certified consultant helps the management team develop based on their needs, which creates successful collaboration.

Feel free to contact us!There are several reasons why boards should evaluate their own work. First and foremost, it demonstrates good governance and accountability. Evaluation facilitates learning and ultimately increases the effectiveness of the board's work.
Often, it turns out that the board has completely different views on how effective it is or which issues it handles best. Measurement is therefore crucial to initiate concrete development work.
BAM [Board Assessment Model] has been specifically developed for the board. BAM enhances the board’s efficiency and transparency towards the organization and external stakeholders. Just like MTAM, BAM is both an evaluation tool and a development model.
Overall, the measurement shows the board’s collective effectiveness and collaborative ability. Thus, each board receives a unique baseline as a starting point for its development and continued collaboration.
The questions are based on self-assessment and focus on how the work functions within the board.
A certified consultant helps the board move from its current state to the desired state. Since the board itself determines what it needs to develop, the development work becomes a collaboration between the management group and the consultant, which promotes successful development.

As a consultant, contributing to the development of a management group requires both experience and insight. Through our certification, you will gain the tools and methods needed to work professionally with MTAM and lead development processes within management groups.
Once all steps are completed, you will be licensed as an MTAM consultant and gain access to the necessary tools for conducting future measurements.
We conduct certifications at central locations and will provide more detailed information before the training session. The course literature The Management Team by Otto Granberg and Harry Wallenholm is included.
MTAM provides you, as a consultant, with a clear structure for facilitating the development of management teams.
The method not only increases the group's engagement and effectiveness, but also makes it easier to sell
your consulting services and build long-term partnerships.
Certification enables you to work strategically with development processes and conduct
measurements in three steps to ensure long-term improvement in the management team’s work.
The tool is a questionnaire. The questions were abductively developed and statistically evaluated. They are based on self-assessment and focus on how the work functions within the leadership team. The measurement provides a comprehensive view of the team's overall effectiveness and collaborative ability. Therefore, each leadership team receives a unique baseline to start their improvement and professionalization of team work.
To see how the leadership team is performing, MTAM’s psychometrically validated survey is used. The survey consists of 43 questions and is completed digitally. No results that are returned to the organization can be traced back to individuals.
A certified consultant helps the leadership team move from the current state to the desired state. Since the leadership team decides what they need to develop, the development work becomes a collaboration between the team and the consultant, which promotes successful development.
In 2009 and 2010, a pilot test was conducted with approximately 200 individuals. The psychometric evaluation shows good reliability for all sub-indices and for the main dimensions WHAT and HOW. Factor analysis also shows that the questions fit into their respective factors according to the theoretical approach. Overall, the statistical analyses strongly support the MTAM model.
Internal consistency refers to how well different parts of the measure assess the same thing and independently of who performs the test. The reliability of the MTAM survey has proven to be very good.
In 2019, the MTAM group conducted new psychometric tests of the tool. This evaluation was also done in collaboration with psychometricians from Stockholm University.
This time, a more in-depth analysis was carried out, testing the entire MTAM model on an expanded sample of individuals and groups (N = 867 & 70 groups). The group sizes varied from 3 to 16 group members (Mean = 9.69; SD = 2.9), and data was collected 1-3 times per group. In all cases, data was collected during leadership development performed by certified MTAM consultants.
Just over half (55%) of the individuals in the measured leadership teams worked in the public sector, while the remaining 45% worked in the private sector.
The tests again show that the MTAM model is reliable and valid in practice.
The evaluation also shows that MTAM has the unique advantage of being the only measurement tool capable of detecting differences at the group level between two measurement occasions. This is very unique and places MTAM in a strong position for use in leadership team development and professionalization.
The evaluation also shows that leadership teams working with the MTAM model will increase their ability by at least 20 percentage points. The MTAM Group can therefore guarantee that working with MTAM will enhance the leadership team’s capabilities.
The MTAM Group was founded in 2007 by Otto Granberg, PhD, Monica Bjerlöv, PhD, and John Ylander, PhD, with the aim of developing a psychometrically validated method to clarify the relationship between a management team's unique conditions and their capabilities. We also collaborated with psychometricians from the Department of Psychology at Stockholm University, who validated our working method.
This work resulted in MTAM [Management Team Assessment Model], which is based on a questionnaire and a pedagogical model that provides management teams with unique support for their development work.
The model has since been further developed with an application for boards called BAM [Board Assessment Model], which is also based on a questionnaire and a pedagogical model that provides boards with academically quality-assured support for their development work.
