Prevent Stupid Failures
A
noble failure
is about
learning
from a failure that occurred regardless all efforts to
anticipate and avoid it.
A stupid failure is about
making the same mistake again.
To prevent stupid failures,
develop a habit of taking a
systemic view of things.
Analyze the entire system that involves people, their
→
perceptions, and a sequence of
thoughts, decisions, events, feelings, actions and interactions.
Failure is not an accident – it' the result of interactions in a system.
Look at the different elements in a
situation as parts of a system which functions for good or ill. Take
different
→
perceptual positions
to gain a better understanding of the situation.
Empathize with other stakeholders to understand their needs,
expectations and desires.
Once you
understand how the system is working – for or against you –
structure things differently, so you can avoid 'failure' again
in the future.

Prepare to win! Yes, you can learn
from failures as you go, but you can also avoid many failures
and start smarter by playing a
simulation game, like

before you embark of a real journey. Innoball helps you
anticipate
risks and develop more effective
change implementation strategies. Without Innoball, 70% of
radical change and
mega-change efforts fail. Innoball will help you not just
succeed, but
