I’ve been a part of the Ratio and Lloyds Bank Foundation ‘How To Be Wrong’ network on and off for the past two years.
The report How To Be Wrong is released today. It is the product of 50 or so people working in funding organisations, public systems and civil society. We read, met, reflected and wrote down ideas over a two year period. The ideas in the report feel useful to those of us in the network. But the real test is whether anybody outside our group is interested. We want to see if the ideas travel, and develop.

All swans were white until the discovery of the black swan in Australia.
