Paul Smedley, Founder & Chair at The Forum was talking with Jacqui Spencer, then Head of Quality, at FIS/Worldpay.

The fast-changing workplace is a huge opportunity for us to become expert learners. If we stand still, we will find it hard to adapt. So we need to be highly skilled at learning along the way, not just in formal training or directed learning but with day-to-day learning habits.

2021 was our year for Unlocking Opportunities. Doing more of what we do well is a great opportunity that we don’t always fully exploit. One of the most valuable things we can do is put time aside to reflect on what has gone well. When things go wrong we are quick to review, so that we can learn from our mistakes. We are not so good at learning from our successes. If we can repeat and build on our successes then that has to be a good thing. As we come to the end of 2021 it is time to look back on what we have done well, so that in 2022 we can do it again only better.
