  • He makes the case for acknowledging failure and confronting our mistakes, a notion he refers to as “Black Box Thinking”.
    Matthew Syed was the British table tennis number one for almost a decade, three-time Commonwealth Champion, and twice competed for Great Britain in the Olympic Games (in Barcelona in 1992 and Sydney in 2000). A columnist for The Times, he has also gone on to publish numerous bestselling books; Bounce, published in April 2010, has been described as “one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking books about sport ever written”, and Black Box Thinking, published in 2015, which has been globally acknowledged and translated into multiple languages.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    This guys is brilliant. One of the best perspectives to change I’ve heard in a while. More people need to listen to this man and take his pov on! Really really smart guy, wise beyond his years.
    Reminds me of the phrase that is along the lines of “a wise man plants seed for a tree he will never see grow”

    When something goes wrong in aviation, the pilot rarely takes all the blame. The same cannot be said in healthcare, in which litigation is often directed at individual clinicians instead of healthcare systems or organizations as a whole. Blame culture won’t dissapear unless this changes.

      @@aliofly Wrong. Rest of cycling adopted their innovations such as team bus, mattresses, team chef, training at altitude, etc. However, Sky also appear to have adopted older methods of pushing doping rules to extreme limits and even going beyond the rules - and they have budget to hoover up the best riders - and they have limited success in one-day classics. So, not completely discredited but definitely tarnished achievements.

    Amazing thoughts in this presentation. Thoughts that are echoed in Carol Dweck's and Ken Robinson's work. The hard part will be to put it into practice. Which government is going to change their education system first? Or their health care system? The potential gains are enormous.

    We get exposed to, even bombarded with, many new concepts which often feel too impractical, too abstract or too broad to do something about them. So we put them into buzzwords or corporate jargon category. In this talk, Matthew Syed brings more meaning and provides real-life forces to explain the idea of Growth (aviation) and Fixed (healthcare) mindsets. We could leverage Matthew's message and use it as an insight to explain the essence of Diversity & Inclusion ideals: they are also about Growth mindset. However, I would like to contribute another important insight to build on our learning mindset in the context of Aviation vs Healthcare cultures. If we dig a bit deeper, Healthcare does not seem to be in a position to criticise the fact that just over 100 years ago the world had to deal with only several major diseases compared to 19,000 nowdays. What is really going on?

    Public sector workers have the fixed mindset, painfully painful probably describes it best. They are so fixated on the way its always been and wanting to claim credit for everything so you have a feeding frenzy in place of progression. It's like comparing the private sector to the public sector. The private sector cannot afford to be idle and less competitive. The public sector is inherently lazy not because they are but because they can be.

    • @bencornish6910
      @bencornish6910 Před 3 lety +2

      I don't subscribe to this idea. It is a Thatcherite idea. There was a time when there was enormous pride a diligence working in the public sector...that is because the 'culture' backed it up as a noble cause/vocation...you could have got more in the private sector but you chose public service for its nobility etc. That notion can only last so long without being refreshed /adapted, the consequence is some of the things you mention...but it comes down to , like in Syeds talk it's the culture that drives an idea/system which makes it fixed or progressive. There are plenty of lazy useless private sector company/businesses out there.

    • @luxr3148
      @luxr3148 Před 3 lety

      @@bencornish6910 the point I was trying to make is risk, ideas and progression are rewarded in the private sector whereas the public sector reinvent the wheel every new term of office. The private sector couldn’t afford to operate like that as they would soon dissolve. Most lazy private sectors are not profitable and quickly fade away. If you ran your business like that of the public sector you would be bankrupt in a week.

    The example of how many patients die in America every year - it is amazing that is tolerated. In the UK chances are that number is a similar proportion. USA pop. 328 million 400.000 avoidable deaths. UK 66 million that would equate to 70,000 to 80,000 per year. 1500 per week. Even if you are argue these numbers are too high. In normal times we would not tolerate a plane crashing every week with 200 people on board.
    if the UK adopted the learning model from the hospital highlighted - that would save a small fortune and massively improve patient care. What is disappointing this concept is not really a secret but it is consistently ignored.

      Three years on the Post Office enquiry is just one more example of not wanting to learn. Had those in senior management positions in 2001 looked at why it was Sub Post Masters were now all stealing from the Post Office, the Post Office would not be in the mess it is now.

    The age of enlightenment was more about throwing off the burden of religious dogma that held back mankind since the dark ages. Of course fear of plague and other extreme phenomena manifesting the displeasure of God played a part too. But incremental improvements in applied science occurred before the official commencement of the age of enlightenment and these accelerated the movement towards a more rational world view.

    400 000 people die in hospital every year of medical mistakes. This is 0.1% of the US population and since 1.3% of the population of a country shall be renewed every year-births and deaths in western countries-this means that, if we assume that 25% of this population die in an hospital, 25% of those dying there result from a medical mistakes. This would mean that US hospitals should be in deep troubles... Not really serious! This author is just replicating what he criticises.
