You know that feeling when you want to say something about someone's behavior, but you're too afraid you'll say the wrong thing? We've designed an early intervention toolkit & platform for team members to use when one feels someone has offended them.

SpatzAI - early intervention toolkit and platform
protecting team members speaking up

2. OUR VISION
Radically improve team collaboration by
sufficiently protecting members
from micro-conflicts during
disagreements.
“Psychological safety is an
atmosphere where one can take
chances……….without fear and with
sufficient protection.“
[Edgar Schein & Warren Bennis 1965 – Psychological Safety - Wikipedia]

3. OUR MISSION
Create a data-driven
intervention toolkit
& platform to
resolve team spats
(micro-conflicts).
“Build a culture of stopping to fix
problems to get the quality right
the first time.“
The fifth principle of
the Toyota Way

4. Minor infractions are
too small to make an
official complaint
MICRO-
CONFLICT
If no procedure to tackle
minor conflict, we tend to
“let it go” & gossip later
INSUFFICIENT
PROTECTIONS
Unchecked, misconduct
& gossip can continue to
escalate to toxic conflict
SPATS CAN
ESCALATE

6. Team members agree when offended, one can verbally
caution the team member. If the caution is acknowledged
they move on…
If the caution is challenged or ignored, she can use
the Spatz 3-Step App to document and resolve their
1. Spat and 2. Dispute
Unresolved 3. Conflicts are automatically posted on the
Spatz Peer-review Network, to be reviewed.

7. The SpatzAI app will collate, monitor and measure the data from the team Spats, Disputes, and
Conflicts. The AI machine learns from the real-world data, comparing the team’s Spatz data with
the team’s overall work performance.
