Freedom of failure is an essential part of science and learning. How can we offer our visitors the freedom of failure and manage this concept in our organizations? Presenters will discuss the successes and drawbacks of the freedom to fail through examples of management, classes and workshops in which this tactic was used. We will then exercise our own freedom to fail as we break into small teams to generate suggestions and guidelines for managing learning and failure. Presenters will lead discussions regarding opportunities, concerns and suggestions about including freedom to fail in learning programs.
