Amy Edmondson has been named the most influential management thinker in the world. In her latest work, she introduces the three archetypes of failure – simple, complex and intelligent – and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good failures - and eliminate the bad.

Drawing on illuminating case-studies, from the history of open-heart surgery to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, Edmondson offers techniques for overcoming confirmation bias and practicing persistence, reflection and accountability.

Such essential attributes and attitudes form the basis of the RSAs 10Cs framework for business which we are exploring as part of our Regenerative Capabilities Coalition. https://www.thersa.org/projects/regen...

Join Amy Edmondson in conversation with Tim Harford at the RSA for leading-edge insights into the science and solutions that can help us promote greater innovation, efficiency and safety in our teams - both at work and in life.

Patron’s Lecture: why social capital matters 1:17:41

1:17:41

This year’s keynote speaker is world-renowned political scientist Robert D. Putnam , author of the groundbreaking work Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community , which has shaped global conversations on the importance of communal ties and social capital. Robert Putnam will be speaking to us about the vital role of social connections in combating the deepening crises of social isolation, political polarization, and economic inequality, drawing on insights from his latest work The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again. Divisions can be healed, he argues. Our fraying social fabric rewoven. By focusing on rebuilding society’s relational foundations, we can create a future where everyone has the connections they need to thrive. Following his keynote address, Professor Putnam will be joined in conversation by RSA CEO Andy Haldane, and partners from the first-of-its-kind Revealing Social Capital research programme, which is exploring how connectedness impacts life outcomes and opportunities across the UK, from social mobility to health and education.

From big tech scandals to soaring executive pay gaps, public trust in major corporations is at an all-time low. Despite life-changing innovations like vaccines and digital tools, we increasingly “love the product but hate the producer”. Renowned economist John Kay visits the RSA to deliver a bold critique of modern business. He’ll unpack how the relentless pursuit of shareholder value has gutted some of the 20th century’s most iconic companies and left the 21st-century corporation facing a reckoning.

Do we really value care? 1:10:04

1:10:04

The provision of care for dependents young and old is one of the great challenges of the modern age. The last 60 years have seen significant shifts in family and working lives with greater choice and autonomy bringing great gains for human freedom. Yet many private and public challenges and dilemmas remain. The social care system faces ever-rising demands and pressures. The vital skilled work of care – for the young, the elderly, the sick – remains undervalued and under-invested in. And women remain over-represented in the domain of care, in both the domestic realm and in the public economy. Amidst challenging demographics, declining birth-rates, and the evolving dynamics of modern family life, can we achieve a policy settlement that respects gender equality, meets the rising social need for care and attention, and properly rewards and recognises those who provide it? How do we provide greater support to the networks of relationships that care relies upon? Join David Goodhart and Vicky Pryce at the RSA to debate care, equality, and social progress in the next decade of the 21st century.

In his annual RSA Chief Executive's Lecture, Andy Haldane examines the profound socio-economic consequences of eroding social capital, a theme famously explored by Harvard political scientist Bob Putnam in Bowling Alone . While macroeconomic advancements helped address past crises like the Great Depression, today’s challenge lies in confronting the "Great Division”, the deepening fractures within and between societies. Despite unparalleled global connectivity, communities are fragmenting, leading to slowed economic growth, reduced social mobility, rising loneliness, and declining trust in institutions. Highlighting the critical role of social capital in fostering growth, health, and governance, Andy calls for a transformative shift in policy aiming to address the root causes of contemporary social and economic divides.

How optimists change the world 54:59

Optimism is central to the human psyche: it seems to give us an advantage in both everyday life and in addressing great collective challenges. Sumit Paul-Choudhury , former editor-in-chief of New Scientist, visits the RSA to make a vital and transformative new argument: that optimism is not only the natural state of humanity, but an essential one. Sumit argues that without optimism we would never have survived the unpredictable - and often hostile - world we evolved into. Yet optimism is not just reserved for times of extremity. Its benefits manifest throughout our everyday lives: our relationships, careers, bodies, and minds. And it will play a critical role in overcoming the toughest challenges of the twenty-first century. Kick-start your New Year with a powerfully motivating manifesto for hope and a much-needed new perspective on our individual and societal prospects. By embracing action, imagination, and possibility, we can find a path to the bright side, even - perhaps especially - when the future seems dark.

Current research reveals that workers over 50 are being rejected from key roles across the country, with discrimination and bias from employers and recruiters often endemic. Over 1 million people aged 50+ across the UK want to work but are unemployed. This RSA event is in collaboration with the OECD to launch their new report, Promoting Better Career Mobility for Longer Working Lives in the United Kingdom . The report highlights the key challenges faced by older workers in the UK labour market and outlines essential public and employer policies that can facilitate career mobility at older ages. After a presentation on the report, our experts will convene to discuss the true cost of workplace ageism. The panel will feature Shruti Singh , Senior Economist, OECD; Simon Fanshawe OBE , Co-founder, Diversity by Design; Mike Mansfield, CEO, ProAge; Roisin Mackenzie , Chief People Officer, Saga; and Lucy Standing , Co-founder, Brave Starts - and will explore how addressing ageism in the workplace could boost the UK’s economy by £9 billion annually—an essential step for the country's future prosperity.
