Audit
The Fearless Futures Ecosystem Audit allows you to gain clarity about your organisation as a dynamic system so we can share with you how to leverage the system to create deep inclusive change
Our unique and innovative methodology allows us to surface the deep structure of the system, push beyond the immediate or obvious problems to see the underlying patterns, and crucially, identify the ways we can engage the system to create inclusive change that is principled, purposeful and powerful.
To do this we need to understand
How does the organisation operate as a complex, dynamic system?
How and where does systemic inequity show up, play out in and shape this ecosystem?
How and where can we leverage the ecosystem, to generate a deeply equitable and inclusive organisation?
What are we seeking to surface?
What are the enabling dynamics and forces within your company cultures and structures?
What are the inhibiting dynamics and forces within your company cultures and structures?
What opportunities exist to progress and accelerate inclusion?
Where within the ecosystem is there the biggest buy-in?
Where within the ecosystem is there greatest resistance? Why?
Organisations function as ecosystems
Simply put, as an ‘organised’ or connected groups of people, creating and navigating particular structures, cultures and processes which together, produce numerous outcomes.
All organisations exist and function within a broader system—society
They are therefore informed by—and can either further or reduce—wider, intersecting, systems of inequity.
Organisational ecosystems are complex
Within a dynamic organisational ecosystem, we know it can be difficult for leaders to know what dynamics are inhibiting equity and inclusion and the best strategies to overcome these.
The dynamic interplay between the components of the ecosystem serve to further or reduce inclusion
To understand the entire ecosystem we need to understand the relations and connections between these levels.
Within a dynamic organisational ecosystem, we know it can be difficult for leaders to know what dynamics are inhibiting equity and inclusion and the best strategies to overcome these.
What you get from the Audit
Findings Report
After our analysis, we create a findings report. This report presents the patterns and dynamics our auditing has surfaced within the ecosystem. We will share with you both the specific forces as well as the ‘deep’ structure – across people, policy and process.
Forces might be virtuous—aligned with deep inclusion and enhancing equitable outcomes within the system or vicious—furthering inequity and exclusion.
They might be stabilising—keeping things from getting worse, or stagnating—keeping things from getting better.
