Everyone has stories of failure. That time you fell off your bike. The day you wore your jumper backwards without realising . That wireframe that confused your customers. The new feature no one used. Failure is an inevitable part of life and as our delivery practices have matured we’ve celebrated the role that failure plays in building our products. We Fail Fast. We Fail Forward. We Fail Better. It almost feels like we want to fail. It’s as if failure itself is our goal. Has this obsession with failure clouded our thinking and distracted us from what we are actually trying to achieve? In this session I will explore the prevailing ideas around failure and how they limit our ability to grow our teams and, just as importantly, the individuals that make up those teams. This talk will leave you with practical actions you can take to create a culture of learning and empowerment…and ultimately create a culture of success rather than failure.
