The Structural Tell

You can’t quite pinpoint where the problem is, but you know it’s there, it’s in the air. There’s a dynamic at play that is keeping morale down, preventing full engagement and productivity. It might not be one person, or even a clique. It might be the structure.

We have developed a framework and guidance to identify whether the issue is structural based on Five Markers pulled from sector-wide research. Each marker provides concrete elements to watch for and track. Our guidance offers ways to ensure that you are protected as you move forwards in your role, and offers inquiry-based support to assess whether each element of the criteria ought to be raised explicitly.

• Framework built on five evidence-based markers of systemic dysfunction
• Guidance for applying each marker to your own situation
• Three questions to ask yourself before escalating
• Escalation paths, step by step, and the non-negotiables
