ABOUT
The Art of Failing Well
Innovation City, 4 July, 13h00 - 14h30
How could we embrace potential failure in new territory and prevent failure in familiar territory?
Is all failure equal? Or is some failure necessary for innovation and advancement - and therefore intelligent? And surely there is a difference between basic, avoidable failure (which should obviously be avoided) and more complex failure that should be interrogated and learnt from?
Join us for a panel discussion about the importance of making sure that, if you do fail, you are failing well.
