I also like Ewen’s idea of learning from failure briefs. Good luck.

Process documentation generally could be improved and done much more systematically. On the basis of your idea Silvia, we could even produce some short sort of ‘learning from failure’ briefs – if we did that we would actually be at the forefront of ‘adaptive management’, smart, innovative, agile organisations. Can we take this challenge?
Oh, and for that matter, failure is perhaps a big word, but the idea of not achieving quite successfully is central to the experience of all greatest innovators, so we shouldn’t fear this seemingly negative connotation.

We did a ‘success and failure’ document for L&F, for each flagship I think, so you may want to ask Phil Toye for animal health. This may be the starting point…
