Wrap up #SSWGTC20 on a high note...an overview of my research on failure!
Is the definition as important as learning from it to move forward more wisely? There is a spectrum of reasons for failure, helping us put blame in context. #SSWGTC20 @SCB_SSWG https://bit.ly/2Art93g 1/6

We don’t have a systematic way to share failures. There are very few examples in the literature.
Those we do have reveal some causes of failure in conservation. Spoiler alert: “people” causes are the most common https://bit.ly/2zl43CH https://bit.ly/3fbbdZx

#psychological safety is critical in #learningfromfailure. My current research using Theory of Planned Behavior study found that psych safety strengthens the relationship between self-efficacy and intentions to engage in learning from failure behaviors.
Norms are crucial.

I’m currently working through a thematic analysis of 50+ focus groups and interviews with conservationists to find out what they think about #learningfromfailure.

We need systems and mindsets at individual and groups levels to be more effective at learning from failure https://bit.ly/3heMaqr .
