TKI Team Reports are designed to help members learn how to transform their unique CHALLENGES in addressing team conflicts into some very practical REMEDIES for significantly increasing both individual and team performance.
…
Each team member receives a personalized TKI Team Report that includes:
Combines all members’ results to show how the team collectively manages conflict.
Shows that individual’s own TKI results, highlights their highest and lowest conflict modes, outlines related challenges and remedies, and provides personalized action steps for improving team interactions.
…
Automatic TKI Team Results
Each team also receives a Team Facilitator’s Report including the composite team results with specific TEAM statistics and TEAM charts that reveal how teams handle conflict as well as all team members separate individual scores.
Step-by-Step Workshop Guidance
To help you make the best use of the TKI Team Report for couples, families, workgroups, organizations, and cross-boundary project teams, the three co-authors have created a FREE Facilitator’s Guide.
• The TKI Team Report is designed for intact teams of two or more members, with one report purchased per participant starting at $60 per person. Team members can access their TKI for 90 days from when they are first assigned their TKI assessment via a spreadsheet, as described in the section below: How to Assign TKIs to Your Team Members.
• As soon as everyone on that team has completed their TKI assessment, we will send you all the personalized TKI Team Reports for those team members, along with the Team Facilitator’s Report. However, if you would like your participants to be able to download their TKI results just as soon as they have completed the assessment (although that purchase then requires YOU to manually create your own summary statistics for that team as a whole), go to our purchase page for the TKI Individual Reports (starting at $50 per person).
• Once reports are generated, those slots in your group account are considered used. If the team changes—whether members are added or removed—and you need an UPDATED Team Report, a new report must be purchased for ALL members of the updated team.
…
Note: Updated standalone Team Facilitator’s Reports are not available without producing updated reports for each member.

QUANTITY DISCOUNTS FOR THE TKI TEAM REPORT
For 1 to 49 team members, each report costs $60.00 per person.
For 50 to 99 team members, each report costs $57.50 per person.
For 100 to 499 team members, each report costs $55.00 per person.
…
In the Quantity textbox further down in this section, enter the number of online TKIs that you wish to purchase for your team. If you enter 50 or more TKIs, the total charge will be based on the relevant quantity discount.
NOTE: Even though the TKI Team Report is ideally suited for groups of 2 to 15 or so members, if you plan on conducting a number of training or coaching sessions with different groups during the next 12 months, you can then benefit from our quantity discounts. After you make a quantity purchase, your open slots can be assigned to one set of team members after another for the next 12 months. For more details on this arrangement, see the section below: Our Refund Policy and Expiration Policy.
After you’ve made your quantity purchase, be sure to download the KD_Spreadsheet for Creating Group Accounts and carefully follow the instructions.
If you’ll be taking the TKI along with other persons in your group, please make sure to also include YOUR information on the KD_Spreadsheet.
When you send your carefully completed KD_Spreadsheet to info@kilmanndiagnostics.com, also let us know your preferences for these four services:
IMPORTANT ALERT: Once we receive your preferred date and time for the zip file, we will schedule to generate The TKI Team Reports regardless of whether or not all of your participants have completed their TKIs, thus using up the available TKIs in your account. It is up to you or your facilitator to be sure that everyone you wish to have completed their TKI has indeed done so.
CAUTION: In most cases, it might be best to wait for us to send you the zip file for the TKI Team Reports until shortly before you plan to discuss those results with your team members—just in case a few new members have very recently joined the team and/or other members have left. By delaying the creation of those TKI Team Reports, you will have the most current (and thus the most accurate) information about conflict-handling behavior for your training, consulting, or coaching program—which will thus include only those members who are still on that team.
Incidentally, when we import your carefully completed spreadsheet, all listed members will immediately receive an “account email” that provides your team’s unique PRIVATE LINK along with the step-by-step instructions for registering a private account on the publisher’s website and then taking the TKI assessment within the 90-day access period—which begins on the date when we import your spreadsheet. At that same time, we will also send you that same PRIVATE LINK with instructions, so you can email that vital information to team members—just in case any of them have never received their account email from the publisher’s website (usually due to a very sensitive firewall).
PLEASE NOTE: After you’ve received your “initial” TKI Team Reports, if you would like to add and/or remove one or more members for an UPDATED (most current) analysis of your team’s conflict-handling behavior, choose one of three alternatives that are provided in the section below:
Adding and/or Removing Members on Your Team
As discussed in the Facilitator’s Guide for the TKI Team Report, you have the option of modifying aspects of the standard TKI instructions so team members will then respond to the 30 A/B items on the TKI with respect to their conflict management behavior inside a specified team (in contrast to the standard TKI instructions that do NOT specify any situation).
Below are the modified TKI instructions for asking team members to respond to the TKI in terms of their experiences in a particular team. The few key words that have been set in bold pinpoint what you can customize for your particular situation.
INSIDE your team (perhaps showing the name of the team and/or a listing of all the team members), how do you usually respond when you find your wishes differing from those of another team member? For each of the 30 pairs of statements below, select the letter (“A” or “B”) that best characterizes your behavior in your team.
Please let us know IF and HOW you would like to customize the focus of the TKI instructions for a designated team. If you decide that your team members should respond to their TKIs with a different focus than the standard instructions, we will place your customized instructions in the account emails that we send to all team members.
But other than the above customizing options that are set in bold, we do not alter any other aspect of the standard TKI instructions, since the remainder of those instructions is essential for maintaining the validity of the TKI assessment process.
After you have received your “initial” TKI Team Reports, you might realize that not every member on your team was included in the analysis—perhaps one or more team members didn’t complete their TKI assessment on time, or maybe some new members recently joined the team, or perhaps some previous members just left the team. As a result, you might want to generate UPDATED TKI Reports that would now include every current member on your team.
If you wish to receive UPDATED TKI Team Reports, however, you first need to purchase an additional TKI Team Report for EACH and EVERY member of your team at $60 per person (or use any remaining, open TKI slots in your group account), even though the original team members who were included in the “initial” TKI Team Report would not have to retake their TKI assessment. But the TKI results of all those previously included members must still be processed for those UPDATED TKI Team Reports (which is why you need to purchase another TKI Team Report for those previous members as well as any new, additional members).
A most convenient aspect of our generating another set of TKI Team Reports for you is that our system AUTOMATICALLY recalculates and redraws all the relevant tables and charts for an UPDATED TKI Team Report—which would now include EVERY member of the current team.
But we can offer you TWO options that will allow you to add one or more additional members to your “initial” TKI Team Report without you having to purchase another round of TKI Reports for every member of your team. Either of these options, however, require you to MANUALLY calculate and then draw the relevant tables and charts that are displayed on the TKI Team Report (since we would not be automatically redoing those tables and charts for you via another round of new TKI Team Reports for your entire team).
FIRST OPTION: If the one or more additional (or new) members have not yet been assigned a TKI from your group account, you can purchase additional TKIs for them at $60 apiece so their individual results, which will be shown on page 4 of their TKI individual Report (utilizing the same customized TKI instructions as before), will allow you (or your facilitator) to MANUALLY recalculate—and then redraw—the relevant tables and charts that appear on a TKI Team Report.
SECOND OPTION: If one or more of those additional team members HAVE already taken the TKI assessment from your group account (using the same customized instructions as the rest of their team), we can generate an individual TKI report for each of those additional members. The results—shown on page 4 of each individual TKI report—can then be used to MANUALLY recalculate all the summary statistics for the entire team in order to revise the various tables and charts that would now constitute an updated TKI Team Report (which would thus include the TKI results from EVERY current team member). If you choose the latter option, you won’t incur any additional fees, since those one or more additional members would have already completed their TKIs, which you had previously purchased and then assigned to them from your group account.
If you would like to UPDATE your initial TKI Team Reports, please let us know if you wish to proceed with one of these three alternatives:
Please let us know, via email, if you have chosen one of the three alternatives above for UPDATING the membership of your team for the most current analysis of its conflict-handling behavior. Be sure to attach a NEW KD_Spreadsheet with the required information for ONLY the additional members who you wish to include in your team. If you are removing one or more previous members from your team, please provide their names in your return email to us.
Refund Policy: As stipulated in All Our Policies, within 30 days from the purchase date, if you change your mind about using the TKI Team Report for any reason (if, for example, your training or coaching program gets cancelled), just contact us and you’ll receive a full refund for any unused TKI assessments. But we do not offer any refund, in whole or in part, once this initial 30-day period has elapsed or for any team members who’ve already taken the TKI assessment tool.
Expiration Policy: For most quantity TKI purchases, the number of persons listed on the spreadsheet will equal the quantity of TKIs that you just purchased. However, if you purchased a larger quantity of TKIs than the people listed on your spreadsheet (for the purpose of taking advantage of our quantity discounts), we’ll credit your group account with those extra TKIs, which we refer to as, “open slots.” But you’ll need to submit another (entirely new) KD_Spreadsheet when you know the participants who’ll be making use of those open slots in your account, which then initiates their 90-day access period for completing the TKI assessment.
Those “open slots” in your group account can be assigned to the members of a team at any time within ONE YEAR of the purchase date, after which, those “open slots” officially expire. But either before—or after—those TKI slots expire, you can take advantage of our Renewal Policy to reactivate those open slots for one more year by paying 50% of the current price of the TKI Team Report on our Special Payments page.

The TKI PackageTeams have become the building block of today’s organizations—given the complex problems and the mega conflicts that are increasingly propelled by our highly diverse global village.
As a result of using many more teams in different kinds of ways, researchers have convincingly demonstrated that effective teamwork can increase engagement, boost innovation, and improve productivity for every team member, for the team as a whole, for the entire organization, and even for the international economy. Naturally, effective teamwork is also vital in many other social settings. In fact, ANY intact group of a manageable size can benefit from using the new TKI Team Report to examine—and then improve—its conflict-handling behavior.
Studies show that a team’s ability to manage conflict is one of the most important factors that consistently affect its performance. With this important finding clearly in mind, the TKI Team Report is designed to help members learn how to transform their unique CHALLENGES in addressing team conflicts into some very practical REMEDIES for significantly increasing both individual and team performance.
Typically, it will take each team member about 15 to 20 minutes to respond to all 30 A/B items on the individual TKI assessment. After every team member has completed their individual TKI, the leader and/or facilitator can request that we, at Kilmann Diagnostics, send them a compressed zip file that contains each member’s personalized TKI Team Report.
It’s important for you to know that each TKI Team Report is unique to each member, since that report not only presents which of the five conflict modes are most and least used for the team as a whole, but each TKI Team Report also includes that member’s tendency to use some conflict modes too much and other conflict modes too little. In fact, it’s always illuminating to discover the striking differences between a team member’s personal preferences for using the five conflict modes in comparison to the entire team’s preferences for using certain modes more than others.
NOTE: Since the TKI Team Report includes (1) the individual respondent’s high and low scores on the five modes as well as (2) the team’s average scores on those same five modes (so it’s then possible to display all kinds of useful individual/team conflict mode comparisons), the price of the TKI Team report is $10 more than the classic TKI Individual Report, since the latter only includes the respondent’s own individual scores—which then requires the facilitator to manually create the necessary individual/team charts for holding probing discussions among all team members. In addition, purchasing the TKI Team Report comes with another special report, the TKI Facilitator Team Report, which, besides including the composite team results, also provides the facilitator with each of the team member’s separate individual scores (if the members have previously agreed to share their TKI results with the entire team).

To help you make the best use of the TKI Team Report for couples, families, workgroups, organizations, and cross-boundary project teams, the three co-authors (Ralph Kilmann, Ken Thomas, and Gail Thomas) have created a FREE Facilitator’s Guide!

Past feedback from TKI users shows that trainers and facilitators have been using the TKI assessment for team-based training by manually creating their own TKI team profiles for an intact workgroup. The TKI Team Report will now do this for you automatically with its several individual/team comparisons of the possible overuse and underuse of the five conflict modes, along with several detailed REMEDIES for overcoming various team CHALLENGES in conflict management, which can then guide the team in its efforts to improve its performance and satisfaction.
CAUTION: Before you begin using the TKI Team Report with your clients, we recommend that you already are considerably experienced in working with the TKI Individual Report (and thus you know when it’s best to use each of the five conflict modes—and why). Naturally, it would also be beneficial if you have the knowledge and skills to help teams improve their behavior so they can improve their results. In essence, working with teams is much more complicated—and therefore much more challenging—than working with separate individuals. To ensure that you’ll be using the TKI Team Report effectively, you might want to take either or both of these online courses: (1) BASIC Training in Conflict Management and (2) Team Management Skills Training.
If you want to read the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about the TKI tool in one single document, consider purchasing Ralph’s first (and only) TKI Book (published in 2023): Mastering the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict-Mode Instrument: Celebrating More Than 50 Years of Resolving All Kinds of Conflicts.
During our two-hour course, BASIC Training in Conflict Management, not only will Dr. Kilmann help you interpret your TKI results, but you’ll also learn how to interpret other people’s results. Taking this course is the best way to make sure you are accurately interpreting TKI results—and using this assessment to its full potential. Click on the link below to learn how you can gain the most value-added knowledge from an individual’s Thomas-Kilmann TKI results.
During our four-hour course, Team Management Skills Training, you’ll have the opportunity to learn several practical tools for applying what was learned in a relatively safe workshop setting directly into the workplace—where it counts. By first identifying and then closing time-gaps and team-gaps, members will be able to address their most challenging conflicts and problems more efficiently and effectively with their enhanced skills for team management.
