Practical Strategies for Learning from Failure #LFFdigital Cardiff: fast feedback

1. Fast feedback 6th
August 2015
Describe this event in five words
Best part of the event
• Working with the groups to develop the model for ‘enabling environment for innovation’
• Chatting with other participants
• Networking, information exchange
• I really enjoyed all of it, from applying to come, the twitter conversation in the run up, the questions and
conversations, the great facilitation (including Shirley’s timekeeping), the people, reflection time
• Private/personal reflection. Having the time to reflect and evaluate, we don’t do enough of this in our
day to day life
• The approach to developing the thinking
• Discussion about the enabling environment for innovation
• So what – action
• Sharing thoughts and experiences and networking opportunities with like minded individuals across
different organisations. Group exercises particularly interesting.
• The mini-seminar, new models.
• Open conversations, new knowledge, resources shared in advance to facilitate informed discussion.

Least interesting part of the event
• Presentation after lunch (mainly because I
had read the blogs already)
• “What doesn’t work” centres didn’t work
for me – I would have like us to discuss
what was needed and shape the questions
collectively
• Nothing
• /
• All really interesting
• n/a
• There were none. Good length, variety of
presenters and facilitators.
• I felt the session on ‘what doesn’t work’
centre lost its way a little. Seemed to turn
into a session about whistleblowing. Also
seemed to be about within organisation
rather than across.
• I found all the day of interest
• nil
• All good, cheers
What we can do to make the event better
• Enjoyed the event, be interesting to see the resources for it and how the network progresses
• Would have liked longer on the ‘sage on the stage’ session – 300 seconds was too short on time
• Hold it in a pub!
• I can’t think of anything. Maybe a few toys on tables to play with while thinking.
• Name tags and clearer introduction to people attending the event.
• Possibly have some more reading in advance, when I say reading I mean think pieces
• For the whole group sessions make sure the room is set up in a collaborative format
• Tighten up the feedback. Ditch the tables and use chair clusters around flip charts or posters on walls.
• Bit more time for introductions – if we know more about people we can ask better questions. Name
badges 
• I don’t think you need to change it. .
Anything else on your mind?
• Just to say Thank You All
• How to start applying some of the practical things I learnt into the practical day-to-day
• Really like the commitment around write up etc – much appreciated
• Thank you 
• Nope, except to say a HUGE thank you. Brilliant day, well done!
• Implement similar workshop in my organisation??
• Roxanne – hope to find time to chat
• Nice work

‘Ultimate’ question: as a result of taking part….
I feel able to start conversations about failure
with colleagues in my organisation
I feel able to start conversations about failure
with colleagues other organisations
I feel more able to formally engage with addressing
problems in the work of my organisation
I would recommend ‘practical strategies for learning
from failure’ to a colleague
