During this innovative event, World Bank explores an internal report about 'How the Bank learns' allowing the audience to vote in real time on the top topics they want to explore using 'Poll everywhere'. We will be using this tool at the Autumn workshop.The Bank shares some thought provoking ideas on 'fast and slow thinking' and where individuals look for knowledge (video -12.15-15.15) as well as allowing participants to vote on a number of provocative statements on a five point scale, to decide choose five topics for discussion with the panel e.g. 'Drink more coffee', 'Learning from failure' and 'Taking time to reflect' (Poll results 27.30 - 30.30). Culminating in the panel discussion on the chosen topic areas including 'live questions' as the discussion develops (Panel discussion 30.30 - 1:14:00).The session is wrapped up with a final vote on the whole event (1:21:00)

Workd bank report on Mind and Behaviour - chapter on Adaptive Design

Addressing knowledge loss at the UK's average rate of staff turnover (around 20% a year, including managers) means that an organizations' bank of remembered know-how and experience can be reduced to homeopathic levels in just a short space of time. Fortunately, not everyone leaves simultaneously and atypical practices like job overlapping and mentoring helps.
