Brilliant Failures, sometimes you earn and sometimes you learn!
Professor Paul Iske will talk about people and organizations that are able to explore new opportunities together. He describes so-called ‘O-zones’, environments in which positive energy is generated to find new ways for shared value creation. Innovation means exploration and exploitation of new ideas. Some of them might work, some might not. Paul will introduce the Institute of Brilliant Failures to stress the importance of (joint) experiments and the need to accept risk and learn from experiences with projects that did not produce the results people were aiming for.
