LEARNING FORWARD
Turning experience, failure and change into organisational learning and adaptation.
Experience does not automatically create learning.
Every organisation accumulates experience.
Projects succeed and fail. Strategies produce unexpected results. Incidents occur. Decisions have consequences. Reviews identify lessons. Recommendations are made.
Yet remarkably little may change.
Lessons can be recorded without being learned. Success can reinforce the wrong explanation. Failure can be rationalised rather than examined. Recommendations can address what happened without changing the conditions that allowed it to happen. And organisations can become very good at explaining the past while remaining surprisingly vulnerable to repeating it.
For leaders, this creates a difficult question:
How do you know whether your organisation is actually learning—or simply accumulating experience?
Learning Forward is about turning experience into adaptation.
The fifth volume in the Intelligent Risk Series, it brings together 100 questions, provocations and reflections designed to help leaders challenge how their organisations interpret outcomes, respond to feedback, examine success and failure, and translate experience into better future decisions and action.
Because the purpose of organisational learning is not simply to understand what happened.
It is to change what the organisation is capable of doing next.
That means questioning not only failure, but success. Not only what went wrong, but what nearly went wrong. Not only whether recommendations were implemented, but whether assumptions, behaviours, decisions and underlying conditions actually changed as a result.
This is not a book about looking backwards.
Open it anywhere.
Bring one page into a lessons-learned review. Use another after a success that nobody has questioned. Put a question to a leadership team when the same problem appears again. Take one into a project retrospective, incident review or strategy discussion. Return when the organisation knows what happened but has yet to decide what should change because of it.
Some pages may reinforce what experience has already taught.
Others may reveal that the lesson itself needs reconsidering.
Because experience only becomes organisational learning when it changes what happens next.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
