Jack meets with Emily Janoch, Associate Vice President of Thought Leadership and Design at CARE to discuss the importance of failing forward.
Emily started the CARE Failing Forward Podcast to create a space for staff and external stakeholders around the world to talk about the experiences they learn from failure, and how they use that to get better at our work.
In the episode, we cover:
- The importance of talking about failure
- How to create an internal culture in which failure is embraced
- The importance of centering local voices
In her role at CARE, Emily focuses on ways to center local voices and evidence to make better decisions and create more impact. She is an expert in designing systems to capture and share information across many sources and with different stakeholders. With four-years of on-the-ground experience in West Africa and academic publications on community engagement and the human element in food security in Africa, she is especially interested in community-led development. Her work focuses on making sure that communities can engage in their own development for sustainable, appropriate results.
