DIY HumanDebt™ Audit

Yesterday we started speaking to you about the hidden cost of inaction when it comes to HumanDebt and Psychological Safety. As you know, these articles and videos on Tuesdays are designed to be the actionable, practical advice companion to any of the big themes we tend to bring up in the Mondays articles but every once in a while, as is the case today, genuine “do this” practical advice is harder to give.

These are typically the times when we are asking you the reader -or viewer- to understand what can only be described as an organisational ailment and find some type of heroic way to do something about it.

It’s no small ask and we’re well aware so there’s little we can personally do from the sidelines but appeal to your sense of what’s right and your deep-seated knowledge that the human work is good, sorely needed and utterly necessary and then hope to offer some small way in which our work - be it our articles, videos, keynotes, books or the software itself- can aid in this huge piece of internal lifting we recognise you have to do when you decide to help save the organisation.

We’re well aware that for many of you, this monumental task is solely a labour of love and you owe the enterprise nothing. No matter how high up the hierarchy you find yourself, you too are, after all, a victim of the same transgressions the enterprise amassed under the HumanDebt™ umbrella so it’s even more admirable that you’re trying to help, at times even seemingly going against the enterprise itself to do so.

What the video says, is that while we at PeopleNotTech have put together a HumanDebt™ Audit where we’re able to slice through the debt and understand the risk and cost that it brings about thusly underlining the need for deep change and sustained human work, there’s a version of this audit you can do yourself.
