ANALYZE FAILURES
Regardless of how big or small, blameworthy or praiseworthy our failure might be, it is always possible to learn and grow wiser from the experience.
Since 2011 we have helped teams and organizations achieve the full depth of possible learning and uncover the wisdom that will shape future work, ensure everyone involved feels heard, and help clients communicate the experience to stakeholders with earned confidence.
Let us help you work with these difficult events. There's so much to learn from our failures. Plus, we can build the capacity within your organization to skillfully facilitate these postmortems yourself!
SHARE THE LEARNING
Sharing failure stories is one of the most effective ways to promote psychological safety and team performance. Plus, failure reports and fail fest events provide an opportunity for your organization to highlight the leaders who had the courage to try – and what they learned when they did.
Simply put, sharing your failures stories can be hugely valuable…but only if done well.
Fail Forward ensures your speakers and authors excel at sharing their stories, and in doing so, become role models to spread the practice of sharing failures openly and honestly, maximizing learning and supporting the organization to grow stronger, wiser and more adaptable.

My perception of failure has grown in dimension since the concept of the failure report. I think I always saw it as an opportunity, but had never articulated it as such before. Now I think of the diverse possibilities that each instance of failure offers.
