Failure is your Friend

Making mistakes is a crucial step on the way to success. It resonates with one of the rules for design thinking, specifically for prototyping: fail early and often. Failure, put simply, is a learning process; as such it is essential for solving new and tricky problems. With a learning mindset, we can set “get-better” goals, focused on improving as we work, instead of “be-good” goals, which focus on getting things right.
