The Fearless Organization Scan
A powerful introduction, the Fearless Organization Scan gives teams the opportunity to review their Psychological Safety. Results from the survey enable a review of the four dimensions that make up the scan and act as a starting point for improving Psychological safety. This survey can be completed as a standalone activity, supporting your team’s ability to identify areas of improvement or can be combined with other services offered by the Chief Encouragement Officer.
Completing the scan fosters discussion areas such as; ‘Inclusion and Diversity, ‘Willingness to Help’, ‘Attitude to Risk and Failure’ and ‘Open Conversations’.

Program and Project Review
If you have an underperforming project or program, it’s not too late to get things back on track. The Chief Encouragement Officer can review the progress of your project, identify issues and recommend optimal solutions. I can be brought in to review the whole project or advise on key areas such as communication, significant scope change and risk.
With a unique ability to get things done, I take stock of the current situation to identify the blockers to progress and work on eliminating them. Benefiting from an outside perspective, I take a project, enterprise-wide and commercial view to support the aims of the project team and the wider aims of the organisation.
As an independent consultant since 2012 and a Program Director for the previous 14 years, I understand the issues, impact and context in order to give strategic advice, quickly and concisely.
