Session Info
In 2003, the Columbia Space Shuttle tragically disintegrated during earth entry after 16 days in space. Aside from the technological causes, the Columbia Accident Investigation Board concluded in their assessment that "cultural traits and organizational practices detrimental to safety were allowed to develop," citing "reliance on past success as a substitute for sound engineering practices" and "organizational barriers and behaviors that prevented effective communication of critical safety information" among the problems found.
How could “good” engineers and managers misdiagnose the severity of the foam impact on crew safety and make such poor decisions? In this session, astronaut Charles Camarda will show you how to build a culture of learning and employ a strategy using intelligent fast failure to tackle the “epic” challenges your organization faces. How do you build high-performing teams that are equipped to solve new, ambiguous, and complex challenges? With the right organizational culture and the right tools, evoke imagination in your teams and fail successfully upward and beyond.
In this session, you will learn:
- How a culture lacking in psychological safety resulted in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster
- How to build a culture of learning
- About the digital transformation of learning
- How to tackle complex, multidisciplinary, “epic” challenges in your workplace
- How to promote psychological safety and mitigate destructive cultural and cognitive biases
