Experiential Case Study

Building on the session from the 2024 IDG Summit, this workshop pulls back the curtains of Professor Amy Edmondson’s Harvard case study on what Microsoft learned about operationalizing psychological safety across its Western Europe business.

In this highly experiential session we will move beyond the case study to explore the relationship between compassionate leadership and psychological safety in creating the conditions for extraordinary collaboration, innovation, growth and flourishing.

Beyond theory, our intention is to provide a powerful first hand experience of key leadership and team practices to shift the relational field, enabling breakthrough insight and systemic transformation.
