Psychological Safety

Psychological safety is a foundational necessity for every team and organization. Popularized by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson, psychological safety:

builds a healthier culture
ensures that every member of a team can contribute their knowledge and skills at the highest level
sets the stage for developing creative solutions to complex challenges
provides resiliency when things don’t go according to plan and a pivot is needed

Does your team or organization have psychological safety? How can you improve it? The Agile Strategy Lab can help. The Lab’s Liz Nilsen is certified by The Fearless Organization (the only group authorized by Amy Edmondson) to assess your team’s psychological safety. After getting a baseline, we’ll then work with you to identify ways to strengthen this critical ability.

For even more impact, consider combining a look at your group’s psychological safety with an assessment of its strategic/cognitive diversity.
