Quality team experiences aren't built on a single workshop and a hope. Every Birkman for Teams engagement starts with listening, we learn what your team actually needs before we design a single session.

What the Birkman for Teams Experience Covers
Birkman for Teams brings the power of the Birkman Method into the workplace to help teams build greater self-awareness, understand differences, and work together more effectively.

Pricing factors
What Shapes the Investment in a Birkman for Teams Engagement
Pricing for a Birkman for Teams engagement reflects the scope of the work, the number of participants, the depth of facilitation, and how many sessions are needed to meet your team's goals. Because every engagement is custom-designed rather than off-the-shelf, the clearest path to understanding what it will cost is a conversation about what you actually need. You'll get honest, up-front pricing before anything begins, no surprises.
Team Size
The number of participants directly shapes the scope of the engagement. Each person completes an individual assessment and receives a personalized debrief before group sessions begin. A team of eight requires meaningfully different preparation and facilitation time than a team of twenty-five, and the investment scales to reflect that difference.
Number of Sessions
Some teams need a single focused workshop; others benefit from two or three sessions spaced over weeks to allow reflection and application between touchpoints. Multi-session engagements allow for deeper skill-building and give the team time to practice what they're learning, and that additional structure is reflected in the overall scope.
Session Customization Depth
A fully custom agenda, built around your team's specific friction points, communication patterns, or strategic context, requires more design work than a standard format. Teams dealing with complex dynamics, post-restructuring realignment, or cross-functional integration typically require more tailored facilitation design, which influences the overall investment.
Delivery Format
Sessions can be delivered virtually, in person, or in a hybrid format depending on where your team is located. In-person engagements that involve travel are scoped accordingly. Virtual delivery is often a practical and highly effective option for distributed teams across the country.
Follow-Up and Reinforcement
Some engagements include follow-up coaching sessions for individual team members or leaders after the core program is complete. This kind of reinforcement significantly improves how the insights carry into everyday work, and it represents an additional component when included in the scope.
Teams That Get the Most from a Birkman for Teams Experience
Teams come to this engagement from very different starting points, some are thriving and want to go further, others are stuck in patterns they can't seem to break. The common thread is a willingness to look honestly at how the team works and a desire to do something concrete about it.
The Leadership Team That's Outgrown Its Old Patterns
You've scaled. The leadership team that worked at ten people isn't working as well at forty. Communication is siloed, decisions take too long, and trust has frayed at the edges. You need a shared language and a reset, not a pep talk.
The New Team That Needs to Gel Quickly
A reorg, a merger, or rapid hiring has brought people together who don't know each other yet. You want to shorten the time it takes to build real working relationships and skip the months of guessing how your teammates operate under pressure.
The High-Performing Team That Wants to Go Further
Things are working, but you know there's more on the table. You want your team to understand each other's strengths deeply enough to lean on them intentionally and to recognize stress behaviors before they cost you anything.
The Team Stuck in Recurring Conflict
The same friction keeps surfacing between the same people or functions. It's not a personality problem, it's a misalignment of styles and unmet needs. A Birkman lens often names what everyone has been dancing around for months.
The Manager Who Wants to Lead the Team Better
You're not just here for your own debrief. You want to understand your team members individually, what motivates them, what stresses them out, and how to communicate with each person in a way that actually lands.
The Organization Investing in Its People Seriously
Culture and talent retention are strategic priorities for you. You want a team development experience with real depth, not a ropes course or a one-hour seminar, something your people will still reference six months later.
The Cross-Functional Team That Struggles to Collaborate
Different departments, different priorities, and a project that requires them to work together anyway. Birkman helps each person see why their counterpart operates the way they do, which changes the whole dynamic of cross-functional work.
Understanding the Investment in Birkman for Teams
Birkman for Teams is a professional service engagement, not a packaged product with a posted price. The scope is custom-built for each team, which means the investment reflects what your team actually needs, not a flat fee for a generic experience. Factors that shape the overall cost include how many people are participating, how many sessions are designed, the depth of facilitation required, and whether follow-up support is part of the plan.
Because the individual assessment and one-on-one debrief come before any group session, there's meaningful preparation work built into every engagement regardless of team size. That front-end investment in individual understanding is what makes the team sessions land, and it's a non-negotiable part of how we do this work right.
The best way to understand what a Birkman for Teams engagement would look like for your group, and what it would cost, is to start with a conversation. We'll ask the right questions, listen carefully, and give you an honest, up-front picture of the scope and investment before you commit to anything. No pressure, no hidden add-ons, just a clear look at what we'd build together and what it takes to do it well.
- Investment is scoped based on team size, number of sessions, and delivery format, ask for a custom overview.
- All participants receive individual assessments and personalized debriefs as part of the engagement, not as add-ons.
- Virtual delivery is available and effective for distributed teams, travel considerations are discussed upfront for in-person engagements.
Built for Teams Working in Today's Complex Environment
Teams today are navigating more complexity than ever, distributed work, rapid organizational change, increasing pressure to deliver with fewer resources, and a workforce that expects more from its employers than a paycheck. In that environment, genuine team cohesion isn't a luxury. It's a competitive advantage, and it doesn't happen by accident.
The Birkman for Teams experience is designed for this reality. Virtual-first delivery means geography isn't a barrier, teams spread across time zones can go through the full engagement without anyone traveling. And because the individual debrief happens before the group convenes, remote participants arrive at the team session with the same depth of preparation as those who gather in the same room.
Organizations that invest in this kind of structured, research-backed team development tend to see the impact in the places that matter most: clearer communication, faster decision-making, and people who feel genuinely understood by the colleagues they work alongside every day. That's the kind of result that lasts well past the session itself.
