@DFectuoso I think learning to fail is just step one. Once you feel comfortable with failure, you should improve your innovation process (Whatever that means)

As one good friend says, it’s about “FAIL Fast!” rather than “Try to FAIL!”. The whole point is to pursue success every single time. However, knowing that things can go wrong, increases your changes to make a big hit.

This is great post!! Specially about trying and trying again. And always looking to get something out of it. I have personally seen many by the way inventions, either for individuals or companies changing their initial idea after foreseeing a great opportunity on their way.
Think about the next level of embracing innovation, not only in product development but in organizational dvelopment, leadership, teamwork etc, think about democratic organizations.

This is the natural way to do things, and it’s consistent with brainstorming – no idea should be discarded, the goal is quantity, not quality. Same with action vs. inaction. Action ensures success in the long-run, even if you fail once, you get up and you learn from your failure and move on to a more successful path. You’ll never learn this if you never do anything!

Great post!

I think its not easy to start with that culture because its not easy to check if something is failing or just waiting for success and itereting again(with more resources) can be the key to actually do it.

The people that invest THEMSELF in a project usually get good results and just wanting to fail fast or win can stop the emotional, 24/7, maverick investment of one-self to a project.

What do you think about that?
