It's about time one profits from losses
Sweden's Museum of Failure can provide valuable life lessons. Celebrating failure has now become an established part of the innovation process, as gurus often say these days. If people are afraid of failure, they will never have the gumption to innovate. No wonder there are even organisations who seek failure as a goal -so that they can calibrate their projects to avoid them. Nevertheless, failure is still not the new success just yet. So, the 60 items selected for display at the soon-toopen Museum of Failure in Sweden will not exactly have their inventors rushing to proudly claim ownership or comment on how they achieved them. But it will definitely be an eye opener for the general public, who are unaware of the concept of “intelligent failure“ -a concept conceived by organisations to mask their mistakes as “beta software releases“ or exercises to gauge the market and get customer feedback on `pilot products'. A Vyarth Vastu Sangrahalaya in India is definitely warranted. Innovation, of course, is not restricted to products but those are probably the most eloquent way of demonstrating how humans can go wrong about what other humans hanker for. So, this Museum of Failure a must-visit for all kinds of people for valuable life lessons. After all, one of the exhibits in Sweden is a version of Monopoly called Trump. The game flopped but its inventor has become US president.
