Summary

"We planned this thing. We knew it wasn’t working. Here is what went wrong and how to fix it."

The session will begin with a very brief overview about the importance of learning from failure, presentation of a strategy for framing failure stories, and an initiating fail story from Asaf Bartov. This overview will be followed by peer-to-peer sharing of failures in small break-out groups in which participants will be guided to frame their stories for shared learning. Facilitators invite all to think about what they might share and will provide the process and tools for doing so in a fun learning exchange.
