The Kaltcha Blueprint
From academic theory to actionable strategy, our framework provides a clear path to building high-performing teams.
The Science of Team Design
Hackman’s Five Conditions
Performance failures are almost never behavioral problems; they are structural problems. This is the core finding from decades of research by Harvard scholar Richard Hackman, the world's leading authority on team effectiveness. High-performing teams are not born from good intentions or personality-matching, but from getting five specific structural conditions right.
Real Team
Is there a clear, bounded team with stable membership?
Compelling Direction
Is the team's purpose challenging, clear, and consequential?
Enabling Structure
Are the team's tasks, norms, and composition designed to facilitate teamwork?
Supportive Context
Does the organization provide the resources, information, and rewards the team needs?
Expert Coaching
Is coaching available to help the team with its process and interpersonal dynamics?
To see how these conditions directly impact your team's performance, explore our in-depth overview.

The Three-Layered Kaltcha Blueprint
Hackman’s conditions provide the science; Kaltcha provides the system to measure and fix them. Our methodology organizes team dynamics into a clear, three-layered blueprint that connects cause, symptom, and outcome.
The Cause
Strategic Design
The foundational blueprint for your team. Failures here are the root cause of most performance issues.
The Symptom
Individual Roles
Where structural faults become visible. We map behaviors using our Five Dimensional Teams (5DT) framework.
The Outcome
Operational Focus
Where performance is ultimately measured. Are you slow, over budget, or producing subpar work?
From Diagnosis to Action
Kaltcha’s Full-Cycle Solution
Our diagnostic tool doesn't just give you data; it gives you a plan. The Alignment Gap Analysis is the core of our system, identifying the critical disconnects between your perception and your team’s reality across three key areas of the product lifecycle.
Diagnosis & Day-to-Day Success
The tool pinpoints the Alignment Gap between your ratings and your team's, showing you exactly which structural lever to pull.
Recruitment & Composition
Stop hiring based on gut feelings. Our analysis links composition scores to specific 5DT Role gaps, ensuring your next hire is a strategic fix.
Growth & Development
Receive targeted, actionable development plans that fix the highest-impact conditions first, like Expert Coaching or a Supportive Context.
