Deliberately Developmental Agile: Using Failures as a Feature, Not a Bug
Description
Failure is often feared, but in truly adaptive organizations, it’s a feature, not a bug. Drawing from An Everyone Culture (Kegan & Lahey), this interactive session explores how organizations can embed failure into their DNA as a driver of continuous learning and agility. Participants will explore Deliberately Developmental Organization (DDO) principles, and apply failure-reframing practices to real-world cases. Walk away with practical strategies to transform failure from liability to asset in your organization.
