Beyond Psychological Safety: Systems That Support Self-Organising Teams
Niki Anandi Koulouri
Want to coach teams to thrive as self-organising systems? Start with the bigger picture.
In this evidence-based session, we’ll explore the critical role of the coach in helping teams navigate the challenges of self-organisation. As coaches, we often focus on trust and psychological safety—but self-organisation depends on systemic alignment: roles, processes, and organisational culture.
Join us to uncover:
Why teams struggle with self-organisation and how to spot the systemic barriers.
The role of the coach as a facilitator of systemic change—connecting teams to the organisation around them.
Tools and strategies to help teams co-create clarity, build trust, and align processes.
What you’ll gain: A deeper understanding of your role as a coach in fostering team-level and systemic change. Walk away with actionable tools you can apply to help teams move from stuck to self-organised.
