Practitioner Certification

Become A Certified Practitioner of the Fearless Organization Scan

ABOUT THE FEARLESS ORGANIZATION SCAN
Agility, innovation and team effectiveness all start with psychological safety. Over 20 years of research at Harvard University demonstrates that teams and organizations with higher levels of psychological safety perform better on almost any metric or KPI in comparison to teams and organizations that have low psychological safety.


Based on Prof Amy Edmondson’s research, the Fearless Organization Scan measures psychological safety at both an individual and team level and can scale to any size. This course will teach you to administer, interpret and utilise the Fearless Organization Scan to identify levels of Psychological Safety for teams and organisations.


BECOME A PRACTITIONER
Caerus Change is the Fearless Organization Scan (FOS) partner for Europe. We regularly host certification programs throughout the year. Typically, a certification program will include two facilitators and up to 15 participants. Caerus Change can provide in-house certification programs on request.

Testimonials

Eszter Árvai - Leadership Development Consultant


“Throughout my corporate career, I have experienced first-hand how psychological safety plays an essential role in building high-performing teams. Now, as a consultant and coach, I often see my clients understand this but struggle with how to start.  


This program delivered more than it promised. It transformed the abstract idea of psychological safety into a tangible toolkit and empowered me to support companies in making meaningful changes. Plus, I could join a community of like-minded professionals. With the help of the outstanding facilitators, I have not only developed my professional skills, but also experienced true personal growth. 


I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn and experience how to turn theoretical knowledge into practical expertise."

"If you're serious about moving from guessing to truly understanding what’s holding back full team contribution, look no further than Caerus Change. I had the privilege of being trained and licensed by them in the Fearless Organization Scan, and it was a game-changer!


I have gone on to implement with elite sports teams, FMCG businesses, creative agencies and professional services. Anouk and Scott's depth of experience, skill, and ability to create a safe, energising learning environment is second to none, embodying the learning environment we should aspire to create in all organisations. They don’t just teach a tool — they equip you with the mindset, methodology, and confidence to support clients in unlocking insight, shifting behaviour, and building cultures where every voice matters.


So grateful today to be part of the Caerus community.”

“Creating an organization or team where there is room for feedback, learning and innovation is high on the agenda of many companies.


The Fearless Organization Practitioners training from Caerus has brought me a lot as an external facilitator but certainly also now in my current leadership role.


The certification means that I can guide groups with confidence and energy, and also use the basis of The Leader’s Toolkit daily.”

Program Overview

In 2016, Google completed the largest ever study on "how to build the perfect team".


After tracking 15,000 employees over 5 years, the data was conclusive: psychological safety is the number 1 factor in team effectiveness. After this finding, the 25+ years of research by Professor Amy C. Edmondson of Harvard Business School gained prominence.


In 2019, Amy published The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth. And in 2019, the Fearless Organization Scan was born.


The Fearless Organization Scan uses Amy’s research to map how team members perceive the level of psychological safety within their closest community – benchmarking them against the best.


The Four Dimensions
Breaking this down into four dimensions provides a critical predictor of how a team will learn and work together and facilitates opportunities to improve team performance

  • Inclusion and diversity
  • Attitude to risk and failure
  • Willingness to help
  • Open conversation


In 2020, in partnership with Caerus Change, the Fearless Organization launched an accreditation programme to enable internal practitioners to administer and deploy The Fearless Organization Scan within their organisation.

Program Details

The program consists of four facilitator-led group sessions (delivered via Zoom) that deliver concepts and content through a blend of highly experiential activities, shared learning and reflection, brainstorming of ideas, and guided analysis and interpretation of scan results. This allows practitioners of different backgrounds to understand and integrate the Fearless Organization Scan into their current practice models.
The certification program consists of:


  • 4 live virtual workshops (11 hrs)
  • 2 one-to-one supervision sessions (2 hrs)
  • 1 real facilitation engagement with a pilot team of your choice (approx. 6 hrs)
  • Access to course content and supporting materials throughout and beyond the program via our online learning platform

 t

During the program you will learn to set up and scan a pilot team using the FOS portal and will have access to your own personal Fearless Organization Scan dashboard. Afterwards you will continue to have access to the portal and your dashboard.


Certified Practitioners will also be invited to join our global Community of Practice, with regular meetings and exclusive content.


To make your journey complete, we highly recommend adding 'The Leader's Toolkit' workshop to your program and learning. This is a highly experiential workshop, focusing on how to increase psychological safety.  As the practitioner program looks at how to support teams in understanding the concepts and exploring their levels of PS, so The Leader's Toolkit focuses on how to build/ increase PS with specific behaviours and structures.
