To Help Your Team Learn, Prepare Them for Productive Failure

Productive failure enables employees to learn and grow by incorporating failure into learning tasks, for example by using constraints, comparing approaches, or creating uncertainty. The next important step is to turn failures into valuable learning through a process of feedback and consolidation. This involves not only analyzing what went wrong, but also comparing novice-level solutions to expert solutions to highlight deeper causes of failure. The productive failure approach creates opportunities for the team to explore, learn, and achieve long-term success.
