Why Compatibility Matters for Performance
In a study by the Institute for Corporate Productivity, 43% of high-performing organizations say that team compatibility is one of the top drivers of innovation. (Source: https://www.i4cp.com/productivity-blog/four-practices-of-high-performance-teams)
And yet most teams are built without ever talking about how people actually collaborate. JADE helps leaders take compatibility from an assumption to a strategy.

Let’s take the guesswork out of collaboration and replace it with strategy and insight.
How Compatibility Impacts Culture—and Results
Too often, organizations assume collaboration is intuitive. But the truth is, style clashes, unclear roles, or mismatched priorities can quietly undermine even the most well-meaning teams. JADE’s compatibility tools bring those dynamics into the light—so they can be addressed strategically, not emotionally.
We’ve helped nonprofit boards who couldn’t agree on priorities, government departments with deep historical mistrust, and executive teams moving so fast they lost internal alignment. Compatibility tools create a neutral, structured way to discuss what’s working, what’s not, and how to get better—together.
When to Use JADE’s Compatibility Tools
- Before launching a cross-functional project or task force
- During a leadership transition or organizational restructure
- When team members are avoiding conflict—but underperforming
- If silos, tone mismatches, or turf tension are hurting outcomes
- When building a new team and wanting to set it up right
