Topic From Blame to Breakthrough: Elevating Project Performance Through Team Psychological Safety |
|
Description In today's complex and highly collaborative project environments, technical expertise alone is not enough to ensure success. One of the strongest predictors of high-performing teams is psychological safety—the ability for team members to speak up, acknowledge mistakes, share ideas, and raise concerns without fear of negative consequences. In this session, Ariel Trocino explores how psychological safety influences project performance, innovation, and team resilience. Participants will examine the risks of blame-oriented cultures, learn evidence-based approaches for building trust and collaboration, and discover practical strategies for creating environments where teams can perform at their highest potential. The session also explores emerging research on the role artificial intelligence plays in shaping team dynamics and psychological safety. |
