Culture Clash: Failure is not an option vs. Fail early and fail often
April 3, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
In high-risk environments like air and space travel, anything short of perfection can have dire consequences. Even lower stakes settings—from a government office to a science lab—can feel like pressure cookers. Yet successful and innovative outcomes are often the product of failures that occur through iterating and inventing new solutions. Is it possible to balance a “Failure is not an option” culture with a “Fail early and fail often” mindset? What can we learn from the two?
CPL Hauser Visiting Leader Dr. Ellen Ochoa, veteran astronaut and the 11th director of Johnson Space Center will join moderator Brittany Butler, Executive Director of the Social Innovation + Change Initiative to discuss what it takes to build a culture where averting and embracing failure allow innovation to flourish while achieving high-quality results.
This event is free and open to the public. For those who can’t make it in person, join us on Facebook live!
