Welcome

Welcome to the free Tuning Up diagnostic test. Our diagnosis has been designed to assess how well you feel you are doing in your working relationships whether they are internal, external or both.

The relationships might be short-term, for example they might be relationships with clients or people in other departments regarding a specific project, or longer term, such as you might have with a long-standing client, a leader, a manager or somebody who works with or for you.

If you want to measure something more like a project or an issue, then measure the relationship with the key stakeholder(s) or beneficiaries of the project. We can measure up to five of these in our free diagnostic test.

What’s it for?

The diagnosis provides a snapshot in time about how well or poorly you feel you are doing regarding the relationships you choose to assess.

These results are yours alone, so you can assess them whatever way you like. There are no wrong answers about how these relationships make you feel. Some organisations might use a version of this test to see how well their people feel they are performing and to identify those who may be struggling so they can receive the right support.

This diagnosis test does not offer any specific solutions. Instead, consider its results as a starting point from which you may want to begin a Tuning Up process. At the very least it should be able to indicate which relationships or issues are in greatest need of Tuning Up.

All the data you provide will be kept safe and anonymised. All data is securely accessed & stored according to industry best practices on our UK-based Web servers.

Diagnosis

This page will appear up to five times to diagnose up to five relationships or issues. Each time you will need to give a name to the relationship.

Guidance – please read carefully

The diagnosis will be more useful if you measure the relationships that affect you most, positively or negatively, or those that occupy most of your time. Each relationship has a slider to indicate the amount of your time it occupies. You don’t need to be precise but try to make them proportionate to one another as a whole as best you can.

For each diagnosis you will be asked to assess your level or responsibility and your level of control as it pertains to the relationship.

Your answers are entirely subjective – they need to be based entirely on how you feel – not what you believe anybody else might say or think.

For each diagnosis you will get a short description of the things you might want to think about when gauging your responsibility and control.

And for each diagnosis you will see where your answer is plotted on our matrix. Feedback on your relation and what you may need to consider or look out for appear beneath each one.

When you have finished, you can download all the scores and the feedback in one PDF.

Responsibility in relationships.

Using the buttons below, please rate your responsibility in this relationship Your level of responsibility in a relationship can mean any or a combination of a number of things: your accountability for the relationship’s outcome, your responsibility to other party’s satisfaction, happiness or well-being, like for a client or an important supplier. Responsibility might be a duty of care you have for another, or that somebody else has for you. Next, use the descriptions below to guide your scoring.

Control in relationships

Using the buttons below, please rate your control in this relationship Your level of control in a relationship will also be the combination of many factors. For example, control could mean: access to talent and resources, your own ability and experience, the availability of time and money, or having a clear and agreed plan or way of working.
