It was also a pleasure to hear from Matthew Syed on growth mindset and Antonio Weiss on demystifying AI.
Thanks to Stuart Haire, Roberto Canenti, Jenny Wood, Sarah Barnett and Isla Sutcliffe for the invitation, hosting and organising a great event!

And, lots of learning for the Aston Martin team to do, along with Honda!
The goal is to be the fastest learning and adapting organisation.

Not <insert thing here> for the sake of <insert thing here>. Why should I leave my comfort zone? Why should I feel uncomfortable and fail in order to improve? What are my incentives and threats?
The Why should appeal to self, colleagues, organisation, customer and citizens.

Expected Opportunity Loss = cost of being wrong x probability of being wrong
Big batch, late learning: high cost and high probability.
Small slices, quick learning: low cost and low probability.
Crack on!

AI antipattern: sprinkling AI on top of existing processes like parmesan on a tower pasta

We need to optimise for unknowability, for outcome hypotheses, experimentation and learning, if we want to optimise for outcomes.
#BVSSH
There is no priority to improve 'how we do, what we do' because we're too busy (read incentivised, prioritised) to just do the doing.
It's simple: it's not about <insert shiny object name here>. It's about creating incentive and priority to go slower to go faster.

Every road leads in the right direction if you don't know where you're going.
Producing the wrong thing faster makes you wronger.
Outcomes > output.

🎯 working as a multidisciplinary team with shared incentives (high collaboration)
Improving ways of working, if done well, can be as exciting as curling!
#BVSSH
I.e. learn by doing. However, this only works if there is a generative, not pathological, culture.
If there is fear, order-giving and order-taking, there will be no change.

"We want to hear the whispers before they turn into screams".
Psychological safety isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s what makes high performance possible.
Without it, people survive. With it, people thrive.

Your role as a leader (at all levels) is to help alleviate impediments to better outcomes.

Work does not stay static in one place, it moves around. Agile create a new product, Lean repetitive production, shallow dip into Chaos, back into agile create.

If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
The more cars on the road, the slower they go.
Limit work in progress.
Stop starting, start finishing.

The railway didn't take a Big Bang, big batch approach, instead they started small and tested different options (maintaining variability to the last responsible moment), with experimentation.
#BVSSH
Optimise for emergence: outcome hypotheses, experimentation, minimise time to learning, data feedback loops, autonomy, psychological safety, within Minimal Viable Guardrails.

What can we learn from this? How can we adapt to be stronger, to be more antifragile?
It requires an absence of fear, an environment for learning small and quickly and a generative culture.
