Deliver the fearless organization scan to teams & organizations
The FOS Certification
“Something is not quite right… I just can’t put my finger on exactly what it is.”
How many times have you heard this?
Or maybe said it yourself?
Many teams and organizations have a storm flying under the radar. Some might be aware of it, others might not. We think about work conditions being like the weather. You’ve driven on a dark and stormy morning, right? Even if you’re the best driver in the world, the conditions are going to make driving harder.
In the same way, employees can’t perform at their peak until work conditions are clear or, in other words, until they feel secure enough to show up without reservation. Psychological Safety is the foundation for the effectiveness and agility of every team. Because human systems are naturally complex, strong and healthy Psychological Safety isn’t created by default. It has to be guided and cultivated.
This is where you come in.
As a FOS certified practitioner, you can administer, interpret and utilize the Fearless Organization Scan to identify levels of Psychological Safety in teams and organizations.
Provide an accurate benchmark.
After 25+ years of research, Dr. Amy Edmondson published “The Fearless Organization” in 2019. Along with Google’s landmark 2016 Project Aristotle study, the data from Dr. Edmondson’s research was conclusive: Psychological Safety is the most important factor in team effectiveness and performance.
The Fearless Organization Scan is an instrument developed by Amy Edmondson’s team that is designed to provide a map of team members’ perceptions of Psychological Safety. This instrument has been designed to be:
- Accurate
- Fast
- Inexpensive
This instrument utilized the Psychological Safety Index (PSI) that was created from the research to predict performance by measuring perceptions of Psychological Safety in four dimensions:
- Inclusion & Diversity
- Teaming & Helpfulness
- Attitude to Risk & Failure
- Open Conversion
