Intelligence and information services rely on keeping ahead of sources and methods, tools and technology, and changes in organizations, industries, and the broader environment. How well do we do this? How can we adopt ways to help us see more clearly and act with more certainty? How can we be sure we're doing the right things and doing enough? Continuing their CI 20/20 series, longtime veterans Cynthia Cheng Correia and Dr. Craig Fleisher engage participants in a robust discussion, exercise and activities that will broaden our sights to drivers and signals of change and sharpen our focus to what's important to our organizations, intelligence and information services, and professional impact and value. Join us to expand your foresight, gain more new insights, and prepare your work, and yourself, for the evolving service landscape.

Many people fear failure because, let’s face it, we don’t like to fail! This session will take a look at some of the latest research on failure, how to pivot when failure occurs, what can be learned from failing, and how to apply those lessons to future situations. Failure can hold people and organizations back but it is also where valuable lessons can be learned, where change and growth can occur, and where a foundation for future success and resiliency can be laid. Learn how organizations and information professionals have encountered, dealt with, and grown from past failures. Attendees will also have an opportunity to share their own experiences with failure and what they learned and explore resources that can be useful in dealing with their own situations.
