DESCRIPTION
FailForward: Why successful innovators have to learn how to fail. This deck was used to facilitate an interactive "Fail Camp" on stage of 'trendforum' 2010 in Munich with innovation experts from IBM, Deutsche Telekom (and many more in the audience). The Fail Camp was set up to discuss how failing relates to innovation, to share experiences about failed innovation projects and the best practices companies can develop to learn from failure and succeed from learning.
