Stanford, this Year’s Special Guest at the Technology Symposium: Innovation and the Culture of Failure
-
Erwin-Schrödinger-Saal
Plenary
/
in englischer SpracheCreative failure can be a precondition for future success, but it is hardly an accepted approach, particularly in Europe. What are the lessons that research institutions and enterprises can learn from a “culture of failure”? Would it be productive to deal more playfully with risks and wrong decisions?
