Title and summary

Doug Perkul, Sid Lee

Why failure succeeds

To many people failure is something that happens when people are poorly equipped for the task at hand or simply make too many mistakes along the way. It is this type of thinking that encourages creative people to often times focus on fully cooked ideas and concepts and not take the necessary time to experiment and possibly fail along the way.  Instead of innovation, they focus on clear deliverables and known outcomes.  By failing from time to time we allow ourselves the chance to test hypotheses, take risks and surprise clients and more importantly ourselves.
