      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Amy Edmondson (1999, Administrative Science Quarterly) identifies an association between team psychological safety and learning behaviours, including discussing errors and seeking feedback."

      "heading": "The hasty conclusion",
      "point": "It might seem sufficient to ask everyone to speak up more often."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot promise",
      "point": "These studies do not specifically examine warning systems in Zurich projects, nor do they demonstrate that a particular procedure reduces incidents."

      "heading": "A practical check in Zurich",
      "point": "As part of SHR's [project management](/formation/gestion-de-projet/zurich) programme, teams in Zurich's financial services, insurance and tech sectors, as well as European headquarters of international groups, can be offered an exercise: track new warnings for four weeks without recording sensitive data."
