Psychological Safety
Introducing the Fearless Organization Scan®
A psychologically safe team is one where people feel free to speak up, take risks, and learn together. It’s not just a culture buzzword—it’s a key enabler of adaptive, regenerative systems work.
The Fearless Organization Scan® (FOS) gives your team a structured, research-backed way to understand and improve psychological safety—so you can unlock deeper collaboration, innovation, and change.

Why Psychological Safety Matters
In complex work—especially in mission-driven or cross-sector teams—people often hold back:
✦ They hesitate to challenge assumptions
✦ They stay silent about emerging risks or patterns
✦ They don’t bring forward bold or untested ideas
The Fearless Organization Scan helps you understand why.
This online assessment reveals the often invisible dynamics that shape how your team shows up. It’s grounded in the work of Amy Edmondson, the Harvard professor who coined the term psychological safety.
What You'll Get
A comprehensive Psychological Safety Index (PSI) Report that compares your team’s performance against global benchmarks.
Scores in four key domains that foster a psychologically safe environment:
Willingness to Help: How readily team members support each other
Inclusion & Diversity: The degree of openness to diverse perspectives
Attitude to Risk & Failure: Comfort with taking risks and learning from mistakes
Open Conversation: The ability to discuss challenges and ideas freely
A facilitated debrief session to reflect on insights and co-design small shifts with big ripple effects
Optional add-ons: follow-up coaching, integration with your team strategy, or team sensing workshops
Who It's For
✔ Mission-led teams navigating complexity
✔ NGOs, funders, and collaboratives working across silos
✔ Leadership groups ready to grow trust, alignment, and adaptiveness
You can use FOS as a standalone pulse-check or integrate it into strategic planning, team offsites, or systems change workshops.
