Last year, I submitted a story to EWB’s Failure Report
on the failure of communication between parts of
EWB – the failure of a knowledge management sys-
tem. In brief: in December 2010, I had a meeting with
an Edmonton MP where I discovered that he already
had a relationship with EWB at the national level. So
much so, that he was attending EWB’s National Con-
ference in January prior to visiting Ghana with EWB.
In the time since this failure was published in the
Failure Report, what has changed? From my perspec-
tive – very little. There is some movement for an MP
relationship tracking tool, but there hasn’t (yet) been
broad support for it and there is still minimal sharing
between National Office and chapters in the realm of
MP knowledge and actions.
So why didn’t we learn from the Failure Report? Here’s
a look at the process of the Failure Report, from my
perspective:
A person or a specific group experiences the failure
and the consequences of that failure. When submis-
sions to the Failure Report are advertised openly, they
may share it, and it eventually it ends up in the year’s
Report, distributed at National Conference in January
and occasionally referenced afterwards.
Within this process, I see three failures:
• The right people don’t necessarily learn from
the submitted failures. There is misalignment
between who experiences the consequences of a
failure, and who can solve for it at its root cause.
• The Failure Report emphasizes individual solu-
tions, and puts the onus on one person to learn
or “fix” the failure. This does not facilitate broad
learning from the mistake, and does not incite
institutional change to avoid the same failure.
• Very little follow-up occurs after the Failure Re-
port is distributed at National Conference, with
the exception of learning at an individual level.
Looking at the failure I submitted last year, it is the
quality of EWB’s advocacy work that suffers. In this,
