Before launching Fail Forward, Ashley worked in Cairo with the United Nations Environment Programme and as a management consultant in Vancouver, Canada. In both lines of work, Ashley saw a fear of failure inhibit innovation, adaptation, and general growth. In response, she launched both AdmittingFailure.com and the consulting firm, Fail Forward, to spark a shift in how civil society perceives and talks about failure, and to help organizations learn, innovate and build resilience. Since early 2011 Ashley has worked with organizations – from grantmakers and nonprofits to government and private sector companies – to use failure as a learning tool and culture driver to support and foster innovation. She is well known for building the Organizational Learning Team at Engineers Without Borders Canada, and continuing to lead the development of their annual Failure Report.
Her work on failure has received coverage in a wide range of media and news outlets, including the Stanford Social Innovation Review, The Guardian, Harvard University’s Hauser Center for NonProfit Organizations, TED talks, BBC World, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail and, most recently in interview with Arlene Dickinson on CBC. Ashley was also the 2013 recipient of the prestigious Harvard Business Review and McKinsey Innovating Innovation Award.
Fail Forward is a mission-driven consulting organization founded by award-winning innovator Ashley Good, that aims to foster a culture of intelligent failure on both the individual and organizational level. By creating a safe space to openly discuss failure, and offering clients a set of tools and practices to deal with failure intelligently, Fail Forward helps organizations to turn failure into a catalyst for adaptation, innovation, and resilience. Founded in 2011, Fail Forward works with a variety of business and non-profit organizations, including Engineers Without Borders Canada and The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), a specialized agency of the United Nations. Ashley Good is a sought-after speaker who has traveled throughout Europe, Scandinavia and North America to share her ideas and practices on intelligent failure.

The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Relaxation of the Eligibility Criteria from 55% to 50% for OSC candidates in NET-JRF and Faculty appointment, due to legal intervention (byJNU student Nirala), as well as our protests and interventions at UGC. .

Release of additional lists for NET-JRF for 2013 June exam: UGC's faulty evaluation of June 2013 NET/JRF exam was promptly prot~stedbyA!SA and JNUSU, forcing fresh evaluation and release of additional lists in October 2013 benefitting hundreds ofwronged students. .

Sustained Struggle Against UPSC's Discriminatory Policies: The .
AISA-Ied JNUSU has organized several protest actions against .
UPSC's discriminatory deds1on of scrapping Oassical and .
'Foreign' languages like Arabic and PeiSian, French, German, .
Spanish, Japanese, Chinese etc from UPSC syllabus and review .
of CSAT that tamper rhe level playing field for Arts, Humanities .

Repeated and Vigilant interventions to ensure Rights of contract workers in the campus: regarding timely payment of wages, bonuses, correction of ESI/PF irregularities, grant of maternity leave to provision of safety gears.

Thus, during the 2013-14 JNUSU tenure, each of our initiatives .

ide.lls of expandmg democracy and social inclusion in higher .
education. At a time when higher education is being turned into .

when knowledge generation and dissemination is being .
tailored to corporate interests, AISA has challenged this trend .
with newer imagination and action. .

AISA's Uninterrupted Initiatives for a More .
Inclusive JNU .
The initiatives and significant achievements over the last year berr"lltion AISA-Ied JNUSUs, through lasttwo decades,.
arenoa a · .
have envisaged and fought for landmark policy-level changes .
which have had far-reaching implications In JNU and beyond. .
.
R storation of Deprivation Points: The very first AISA-Ied .
.
.
J~USU in 1993-1994, fought to restore the unique 'deprivation point' system in JNU's admission system, ensuring greater spac:e for women and students from back\.vard areas. .
.
.
.
correcting "Cut -off" M ischief in OBC reservation: When OBC reservation became a law, in 2008, there was a dangerous conspiracy to scuttle the actual implementation by way of faulty interpretation of the Supreme Court's prescribed 'cut-off' criterion for OBC students. From day one, AISA was the only student organisation which recognized this casteist manipulation and fought a protracted struggle including a legal battle. Our position was upheld by the judiciary, first in the Delhi High Court in 2010 and then in the Apex Court in 2011. .
.
.
The judgement had country-wide ramifications, as it put an end to the practice of misinterpreting "cut-off" criterion by all central universities to scuttle reservations. .
This struggle against the administration was made all the more difficult by the highly irresponsible role of other organisations like SFI and DSU, which while claiming to be 'pro-reservation', refused to even acknowledge the centrality of the 'cut-off problem till as late as March 2010, and instead ran a vitriolic campaign against AISA and JNUSU. Despite this hostility, we never got deflected in our efforts of documenting the violations through RTis, mobilising faculty opinions and numerous protestactions. After the historic 7th Sep 2010 Delhi HC verdict, SFI was so shocked that AISA's position had been validated by the HC, that it did not even welcome the verdict for 48 hours! Thus, a struggle that began with AISA's initiatives in JNU and fought against all odds, led to a verdict of national significance that salvaged and defended OBC reservations .
across the country. .
.
Recognition of Madarsas: During 2007-08, AISA-Ied JNUSU spearheaded the movement for the Recognition of madrassa certificates in admissions forcing the JNU Academ1c Council in 2008 to give recogmt1on to Madrassa certificates, thereby ending 40 years of discriminatory treatment and communal .
commonsense. .

Scrapping of Nestle Outlet, defeating Corporate take-over of campus spaces: In April 2004, a 24x7 Nestle outlet was set up on campus as a result of a dubious agreement between the SF I-.
. \IS.\ J,{tnwh1Jil1 t~'aw~ 'mlJ,~ll~ · t·t''Jlolbl' .
.
led JNUSU of 2002-2003 and the JNU administration. AISA immediately started a popular movement against this Nestle Outlet. In 2004..05, AISA-Ied JNUSU gave voice to the anti-corporatization spirit of the campus and demanded immediate scrapping of the Nestle outlet. In a historic UGBM during January 2005, 544 students voted against the Nestle outlet. Wile SFI. wttb 114 cadres stood In shameful def~nseoffi~. JNU administration was forced to scrap its contract with Nestle. The present 24X7 dhaba and North-east dhaba came up in the erstwhile Nestle spot. AISA has always proclaimed that shops and campus spaces should be allotted to socially deserving sections rather than tocorporate Interests . .
.
During 2009-10, AISA-Ied JNUSUs have prevented renting out ofthe ecologicallyfragile PSR rocks to advertisement agencies, resisted the attempt to impose user charge for electricity from students, and prevented an absurd plan to set up a massive 'Food Court' with 10 canteens near the JNU library which would have entailed massive deforestation. .
.
.
Autonomous Body on Gender harassment: Long before the Supreme Court's Vishakha Judgement (1997), which made creation of a Committee Against Sexual harassment in every workplace mandatory, AISA raised the issue ofan autonomous committee on Sexual harassment in JNU in July 1996 itself. Because ofthis early debate and prepared ground, JNU became one of the first universities to create its GSCASH in 1999, immediatelyafter the SCverdict. .
.
.
Bekhauf Azadi: Dttrlng the post 16111 December Delhi gang rape protests, AISA played a pivotal role in shaping the discourse of the movement-from patriarchal "protection" to Freedom Without Fear(Bekhauf Azadi). .
.
.
Workers' Rights: AISA-Ied JNUSU led a historic movements In 2006-2007 for ensuring workers' rights and minimum wages in JNU. Consequently, the JNU administration was forced to rewrite all its illegal contracts and ensure the payment of minimum wages. JNUSU representatives led a large movement in solidarity with the protesting workers, and during the course of this movement, JNUSU office bearers were rusticated for supporting the workers of JNU In their struggle. Interestingly, SFI "dissociated" ttseif from the movement and demanded Proctorial Enquiry against the rusticated student protestor~! However, the movement changed the lexicon of student politics and brought into its ambit, the rights of those workers whose silent unseen toil keeps this campus going. .

In the wake of gruesome murder of a student frOm Aronachaf Pradesh and other cases of racial and sexual assaults on Northeast people in thec(ty, AISA and JNUSU relentlesslytook to the streets and firmly stood in solidarity with the~orth-East students in their struggfe. AI,SA was the first to recognise and raise · a voice against the ractst witch-hunting of African women i,fl Delhi's ~hirki v.illage by a~lynch mob led by AAP ministerSomnath Bharti.

Headed out to Leyburn, Darling Downs country today, to have a gander at the Leyburn Sprints. Grabbed a few photos. Leyburn of course has the Royal Hotel, owned by very famous local, Shane Webcke, who played for Wattles locally, Brisbane Broncos, Qld and Australia in Rugby League. Legend has it, and remember legend is not necessarily true, although I wouldn't be surprised with this guy, that Shane was playing first grade rugby league in a pretty tough and physical competition here on the Downs at age 15, and that he was starring at that age, true, I don't know, I would have to interview Shane to find out. His brother Dallas, was also in that side, allegedly. I was also surprised to hear possibly the country;s foremost motorsport journalist Will Hagen (I am now not sure as to the spelling of this man's last name, I thought Hagen, Leyburn programme says Hagon, and I can find both versions on the www.) in the commentary area. I was only listening to Will on Thursday night on Tony Delroy's night life, and ABC program out of Melbourne I think, running from 10pm through to midnight or so.

“This picture highlights the large amount of waste that we humans produce.
The picture was taken at a waste collection site. Because the waste was ‘compacted’, I think it can be recycled as well. Then it will cause less damage to the environment, because recycling reduces the need for new resources.”
