90 Mins
Workshop
Beginner
Join this workshop to discover an alternative to feedback - feedforward!
Feedback is the concept that helps us improve our products, teams, organisations and ourselves. As agilists, we believe we need feedback to inspect and adapt. We give and receive feedback every day. And it doesn’t always go well. As we give and receive feedback, people get defensive. Feelings get hurt. Often, the improvements don’t happen, because the feedback isn’t given in a way that the receiver can embrace.It turns out there’s a different approach to giving feedback that works a lot better, a way of turning its focus from the past to the future. It’s an idea called “feedforward".
In this workshop, we will learn and practice the concept of feedforward. Join us to explore how feedforward is different from feedback, how it helps us focus on the future, and let go of the past. Learn how to be a better coach, leader and colleague.
