Mistakes to Success: Learning and Adapting When Things Go Wrong

The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program presents this dialogue, which explores "Mistakes to Success: Learning and Adapting When Things Go Wrong," an important new book by Robert Giloth and Colin Austin.

Throughout the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, successes are celebrated and mistakes deliberately forgotten. This new book of essays explains why this is a lost opportunity. In a panel discussion, foundation and nonprofit leaders will talk about lessons learned in workforce, asset building and other fields that have turned around failing projects.

With Speakers:

Robert Giloth, Vice President, Center for Family and Economic Success, Annie E. Casey Foundation

Neil Kleiman, Director of Research, Living Cities

Bob Brehm, Community Development Consultant Organizational Assistance, LLC

Moderated by: Maureen Conway, Executive Director, Economic Opportunities Program, the Aspen Institute
