About this episode

Pascal Finette discusses the relationship between failure and learning in organizations, emphasizing the importance of psychological safety and strategies for leveraging failure for competitive advantage.

If how much you learn is directly correlated to how much you fail, how do organizations crack the science behind using failure to their advantage? Pascal Finette is the co-founder of Radical, an advisory firm that helps organizations turn disruption into competitive advantage. He’s also the author of several books including, Disrupt Disruption: How to Decode the Future, Disrupt Your Industry, and Transform Your Business and OUTLEARN: The Art of Learning Faster Than the World Can Change. In this episode, Pascal shares with Greg the lessons he picked up working for Mozilla, reframing failure as the “first attempt in learning,” the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, and what organizations can do to make learning cheap and fast. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*
