The Challenge
Many organizations struggle to cultivate a healthy learning culture. Individuals avoid speaking up, which leads to more mistakes, less innovation, and worse overall performance.
How We Help
We work with leaders and teams to cultivate the two ingredients for a learning culture: Psychological Safety, an environment where people can speak up and challenge the status quo without fear; and Motivation & Accountability, a culture where we hold ourselves and each other accountable to meet demanding goals.
Results
Since our founding, the principles of psychological safety have been at the heart of the programs and practices we bring to our partners. With the support of our advisor Amy C. Edmondson, the world’s leading scholar on the topic, we have used research-backed strategies to create simple but powerful methods to help organizations build cultures of continuous learning.
