How to value failure and feed success

17/05/2011, 18.15 for 18.45
Southampton (near the motorway exit and short taxi or bus ride from the train station) 

Everyone experiences failure, we don’t like it, and we see it as 'A Bad Thing'. This presentation by Dr David Hillson will explain why he believes that this is the wrong conclusion. He will offer a structured response to failure, drawing on the presenter’s many years of experience as a 'successful failure'.

He will explore the link between success and failure, including the Failure Formulae and the Success/Failure Ecocycle. You will discover the underlying characteristics of failure and understand the multiple dimensions of failure. True failure comes from not trying at all, giving up too soon and not learning or changing. David will talk about developing creativity from failure within organisations.

David is an international consultant and trainer, an author and a speaker on risk management. He has worked in more than 40 countries. He is a Chartered Manager, Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA). He runs a business known as ‘The Risk Doctor’.

David has been involved with the RSA’s Risk Commission and their Glory of Failure project. The goal of this project is to change society's attitude to failure, encouraging a more healthy approach to risk taking and removing the taboo around failure. David has worked in more than 40 countries. He is particularly interested in improving project and program risk management, risk psychology and proactive opportunity management within the risk process.
