Failcamp @ trendforum 2010

We love to review successful innovation and design stories. However, most products and services launched to the market, fail. How do we learn to deal with that, and how to embrace a culture of failure? In this presentation, Frog design reviews what it takes to successfully “fail forward”, including the following tips:

1. Culture & leadership: create and environment of innovation
2. Structure: to fail successfully in large organization requires modularity
3. Character: ultimately, success depends on people

At Open-Designism we find this great collection of Open Design examples. There, we learn that design is totally open as it bears 4 freedoms;

• Freedom to use, including making it
• Freedom to study how the design works and to change it to make it do what you wish
• Freedom to redistribute copies of the design, so you can help your neighbours
• Freedom to distribute copies of your own modified version, so the whole community can benefit from your changes
