Failing Forward Webinar 2026

Failing Forward Webinar 2026

What happens when innovation fails in the field? We talk about it honestly. In this session, four practitioners from ALNAP, KoboToolbox, Divine Organic Foods, and Data Friendly Space unpack real failures — and what they actually learned from them. From a nutrition tool that the data said was needed but the community didn't — to speech recognition technology that worked perfectly in the lab and fell apart in the field — this is the conversation the humanitarian sector rarely has in public. Hosted by the GOAL Innovation Lab and Data Friendly Space. Speakers: • Juliet Parker — ALNAP • Tino Kreutzer — KoboToolbox • Noela Ojara — Divine Organic Foods (Uganda) • José Cobos Romero — Data Friendly Space Moderated by Liz Devine — GOAL Global
