You can run Shivoo with your team on your own—or with your favourite facilitator. Either way, the process is simple. Here’s how it works.
How it works
1
Get started
Sign up for a Shivoo subscription — or have your facilitator set it up for you.
Now you’re ready to get going.
2
Set up your first session
Bring Shivoo into your next team meeting. There’s no pre-work. No surveys to send out. No prep required.
3
Run your Squiz
You’ll guide your team through a series of questions about how your team actually operates.
4
Discuss as you go
Your team will naturally start discussing some of the questions. Good. That’s the point. Shivoo isn’t just measuring your team - it’s triggering the conversations you need to have.
5
See your results take shape
As you go, your results build in real time.
You’re not waiting for a report - you’re watching your team profile form live.
6
Explore your results
Once your Squiz is complete, you can dig into detailed analysis across every question.
7
Track progress over time
Shivoo isn’t a one-off tool—it’s an ongoing development partner.
- Access your results anytime
- Compare against other teams in the database
- Track your own progress over time
Run multiple squizzes and see how your team evolves.
8
Run follow-ups anytime
Use it when you need it - not just once.
Your subscription is “all you can eat.”
9
Turn up the insight with Consensus Mode
Want to go deeper? Switch to Consensus Mode. Instead of answering individually: Your team must debate and agree on a single answer.
This does two powerful things:
- Surfaces real differences in perspective
- Shows how well your team actually works through disagreement
"Simple to run. Powerful impact."
Shivoo combines measurement, conversation, and development - into one experience.No delays
No disconnected reports
No guesswork

Frequently asked questions
Getting Started
+
Can we run Shivoo by ourselves?
+
Yes — and that’s one of the big advantages.
You can run Shivoo:
- With your team, in your regular meeting
- Without a facilitator
- Or with a coach if you want deeper support
It’s designed to work either way.
Do I need to be accredited to run Shivoo?
+
No.
Shivoo is designed to be easy to use straight away.
You can:
- Jump in and run your first squiz immediately
- Or review guides and support if you prefer
Most teams are up and running within minutes.
How long does a Shivoo session take?
+
Most squizzes take 30 – 60 minutes.
Short enough to fit into a regular team meeting — long enough to generate meaningful insight and discussion.
Do we need to prepare anything in advance?
+
No.
There’s no pre - work, no surveys, and no setup burden
Just bring your team — and start.
Using Shivoo
+
What is a "Squiz"?
+
A “squiz” is what at we call each time you run Shivoo with your team.
It’s simply:
- A structured moment to “have a look” at how your team is working.
Yes, it’s an Australian term. And yes, you can add “mate” if you like.
What makes Shivoo different from other team tools?
+
Most tools:
- Survey individuals
- Deliver reports later
Shivoo:
- Works in real time
- Focuses on the team (not individuals)
- Combines measurement, conversation, and development
It doesn’t just measure your team — it helps you improve it.
What happens if our team disagrees on answers?
+
That’s where the value is.
Disagreement:
- Surfaces different perspectives
- Triggers important conversations
- Helps build alignment
Shivoo is designed to use disagreement — not avoid it.
What kind of teams is Shivoo for?
+
Shivoo works for any team that works together regularly.
Including:
- Leadership teams
- Functional teams
- Project teams
If you collaborate, Shivoo applies.
How often should we run Shivoo?
+
Most teams run a squiz every 6 – 12 weeks.
That gives enough time to:
- Act on insights
- Build new habits
- See measurable progress
Pricing & Scaling
+
How does pricing work?
+
Shivoo is a simple annual subscription.
While your subscription is active, you can:
- Run as many Squizzes as you like.
- Access your results anytime
- Track progress over time
- Compare against our global database
- Use our tips, tools, and development guidance
No limits. No per-use charges. Just ongoing access.
We have multiple teams in our organization, can we link them together?
+
Yes — Shivoo scales across teams.
With Enterprise Shivoo, you can:
- Manage multiple teams in one place
- Compare performance across your organisation
- Access organisation - level insights
You can start with as few as two teams and grow from there.
Data & Credibility
+
What data do you capture and hold?
+
We measure the team — not individuals.
That means:
- We store team - level answers and result
- We do not track individual responses
- We do not store personal or identifiable participant data
We use your team’s data to:
- Show your results
- Enable comparisons with other teams
- We do not store personal or identifiable participant data
Your team gets insight — without individual exposure.
Is this a credible tool? Does it have a robust basis?
+
Yes — Shivoo is built on rigorous research and real - world application.
It draws on:
- 40+ years of field experience
- 10+ years of academic research
- A PhD in complex team dynamics
It is informed by leading thinkers in complexity and performance, including:
- Stacey
- Snowden (Cynefin)
- Arrow
- Ericsson
In short: it’s academically grounded, but built to be practical.
If I cancel my subscription, do I lose access to my data?
+
Yes — once your subscription ends, you lose access to your team’s results.
Your de-identified data remains part of the overall dataset (for benchmarking), but:
- It is no longer accessible to you
- It cannot be recovered later
This approach protects privacy and keeps the system clean.
