Session: Hands-on Aptitude Lab: Failure Is an Option

Why are we so scared of failing? And why are so many education models and business plans designed to minimize learning from mistakes? In this session, you’ll learn the secret that 20th-century behavioral psychologists never wanted to get out: people learn better when they fail. Through discussion and hands-on mini-exercises, you’ll leverage learning tools from the commercial gaming industry, the one spot in society where failure is actually expected and encouraged. Attendees will receive case studies and ready-to-use tools for creating fail-forward approaches within their own organizations, and building a playful and fearless learning culture.

Join us as we:

Compare our rate of failure to world experts and innovators
See how failure-based designs have quadrupled success rates
Practice using a model for designing playful, "fail-safe" courses from the ground up

Perfect for designers, trainers, and those brand-new to the field of L&D, this session will show you how to improve any project through the lost art of trial and error.
