Give your practice a research-backed edge: Why GDQ certification changes how you work with teams

If you work with groups and teams, as a consultant, coach, HR professional, leader, or organisational developer, you already know that teamwork is rarely straightforward. But what if you had a scientifically validated tool to measure exactly where a team is in its development, what it needs, and how to help it move forward?

That’s what GDQ certification gives you. Grounded in over 30 years of research and used by more than 2,000 certified practitioners across the world, the GDQ is the only research-validated instrument of its kind for measuring team development. Becoming certified doesn’t just add a tool to your toolkit  it changes the way you see, understand and work with groups at every level.

In this open and honest 2-hour panel, certified GDQ practitioners share what certification has meant for their practice: what they expected, what surprised them, how it’s shaped the work they do, and what they wish they’d known before they started. Whether you’re actively considering certification or simply curious about what it involves, this session gives you a real, practitioner-to-practitioner view of what becoming a certified GDQ practitioner actually looks like.

This session is for you if you:

• Are curious about GDQ certification and want to hear from those who’ve done it
• Work with teams and want to add a research-grounded tool to your practice
• Are weighing up whether certification is the right next step for you professionally
