Why learning to fail can teach us to thrive

Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential organisational psychologist - will reveal how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. She will draw on a lifetime's research into the science of 'psychological safety' to show that the most successful cultures are those in which you can fail openly, without your mistakes being held against you. She will introduce three archetypes of failure - simple, complex and intelligent - and explain how to distinguish good failure from bad and share best practice for navigating failure.
