What would it look like if your endeavor turned out to be wildly successful?
Innovation is a hard journey of failing forward on the road to success.
As a resilience strategy, many innovators plan and prepare for failure to help them survive and try again. But sometimes their failure mitigation efforts force them to play a smaller game that limits their potential to thrive.
Sometimes things might not work out, and sometimes things might work out spectacularly.
It’s important to plan for both potential failure and success and to do so in a way that ensures those plans complement one another in supporting you to play your best game and maximize your options, come what may.
