High Functioning Teams

We work with CEOs and leaders to create high functioning teams where extraordinary collaboration, innovation and performance become the norm.

Fearless Organisation Scan

We draw on insights from Prof Amy Edmondson’s Fearless Organization Scan (FOS) to build psychologically safe, high performing teams. Intact team debriefs using the FOS are transformational systemic interventions revealing actionable insight into how to increase psychological safety, collaboration, innovation and performance.

Actionable Insight

Each facilitated team dialogue explores current levels of psychological safety, what’s working, and where there are opportunities to improve. Each discovery session is facilitated by an experienced team coach with deep expertise in psychological safety. The debrief leads to actionable insight that is unique to the team’s context, members and dynamic.

Transformational Systemic Change

Typically we contract with CEOs and leaders for more than one session so that they can remeasure psychological safety after an agreed time period and explore the impact of action plans from any baseline measure. If appropriate we may use other transformational insight tools and co-shape specific systemic ‘experiments’ to support transformational systemic change.

We train leaders and consultants in the measurement and practice of psychological safety and inclusive, inquiry-based leadership. We teach leaders and teams signature practices to access breakthrough thinking and the collective intelligence required to creatively respond to your organization’s key wicked problems and realise your biggest market opportunities.

Our training is practical, impactful and highly experiential with an emphasis on practice, application and unlocking key business issues.

Some of our most popular training includes:

1   Introduction to Psychological Safety

an interactive two hour session ideal for leadership conferences or short leadership development inputs. Introduces key concepts, research and case studies. Uses the Fearless Organization Scan to anchor the concepts in the group’s lived experience. Provides a baseline measure of psychological safety against Prof Amy’s Edmondson’s global benchmark. Raises awareness and acts as a lead into other interventions

2   The Leaders Toolkit

a highly experiential half day workshop training signature leadership practices to increase psychological safety, innovation and performance

3  Intact Team Debrief on the Fearless Organization Scan

a four hour facilitated team dialogue to explore current levels of psychological safety, what’s working and where there are opportunities to improve. The debrief leads to actionable insight that is unique to the team’s context, members and dynamic.

4   One Day Masterclass

a powerful masterclass for intact teams or general leadership populations. Participants leave with a clear understanding of :

• the links between psychological safety, innovation and performance
• how they experience psychological safety in their closest team
• how to increase psychological safety, innovation and performance

5   Internal Champion Training

in order to build scaling capacity we equip internal champions to facilitate the one day masterclass. This training combines our FOS Practitioner Training with The Leader’s Toolkit.

We offer one to one coaching for leaders seeking to create the conditions for their team and organization to thrive.

Our extensive network of coaches all bring

• Accreditation in the Fearless Organization Scan and experience in building high performing, psychologically safe teams
• Senior commercial experience
• Accreditation with the world’s key coaching professional bodies including ICF, EMCC, AC and APECs
  
• Accreditation in a range of other transformational insight tools
• A systemic perspective

Systemic Coaching

We support leaders to take a step back and take a systemic view of their team and system they work in. By doing so leaders gain new perspective on what key stakeholders value, what emerging needs the organization/system is calling for, and how to increase psychological safety and collaboration in key relationships. We support leaders to identify key systemic issues holding back performance and
support them to have candid conversations well in order to create transformational shift.

Safety & Experimentation

We create a learning environment where leaders feel safe to experiment and try new approaches in service of growth, innovation and transformation. We also support leaders to experiment with a more inclusive, inquiry-based approach to leadership in order to access the collective intelligence of those around them.

Fearless Organizations

While we are happy to work with Boards and other key teams that set the tone and have a disproportional impact on performance, we prefer to work with organizations that are interested in and committed to whole system transformation.
We are committed to developing Fearless Organizations around the globe. We provide advisory and consulting services where organizations wish to scale cultural transformation.

We have an extensive network to support global implementation, and bring expertise in building internal capability to embed psychological safety at the heart of any cultural transformation program.

We offer a number of tools to scale and embed learning across any organization. By consulting in this field we help organizations bridge the gap between knowing, doing and being

Knowing

about psychological safety is a good place to start but doesn’t necessarily change behaviour or outcomes

Doing

involves practice – we teach the shared practices that shift behaviour and results

Being

is a stage where practices have become integrated and embedded delivering consistent results
