FTEMPO: The Frequency of Failure and What to Do About It
Briefly

In high-stakes environments, the frequency of failure, termed failure tempo (FTEMPO), significantly impacts team resilience and adaptability. While operational tempo (OPTEMPO) measures how often teams perform tasks, FTEMPO highlights their encounters with adversity. Leaders who understand this gap can make more informed decisions about training, operational strategies, and maintenance of a learning culture within their teams. By fostering an environment where teams safely navigate challenges and learn from mistakes, organizations can better prepare their workforce for crises, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and a more capable operation.
The frequency of failure, or FTEMPO, holds critical insights for building resilient teams; it is essential for empowering organizations to effectively adapt and thrive under pressure.
Understanding FTEMPO allows leaders to assess how well teams learn from adversity, guiding them in creating robust systems and nurturing capable operators.
