Succeeding through Failure
“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” – Henry Ford
One thing companies commonly fail at – is failure.
Instead of studying the lessons presented and using them to build toward success, companies tend to punish failure or sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn’t happen.
But no matter how good your people are and how hard you work, there will come a day when your organization experiences failure. It is inevitable.
As painful as it will be, how your organization deals with that failure can be more important and more impactful than the event itself.
Thunderbird School of Global Management’s “Succeeding through Failure” is a practical, one-day workshop designed to help mid-to-upper level managers understand that, while failure may be inevitable, failing to learn from it doesn’t have to be.
How can your organization turn failure into a growth opportunity? How can you manage through failures to keep morale high and prevent paralysis? What’s the secret to continuing to thrive in spite of and even during periods of failure?
After finishing this case study and and discussion-based program, you will:
- Understand how to deal with ambiguity and uncertainty
- Improve your (and your organization’s) predictive ability
- Tighten up your decision-making process
- Learn to think more broadly about failure and how to learn from it
Good companies don’t allow failure to derail their progress. Great companies make failure work for them.
