Changing the rules
• Hold a ‘failure case studies’ conference
• Report to parliament on failures as well as
successes
• All annual reports include a section on failures
and what was learnt
• Put innovation into performance plans
• Put failure into KPIs
• Funding for failure
• Have a system to share failures

hundreds of ideas on the wall and even if
five of them survive, they will be
transformative.” –Vivek Kundra

Cultivate – Safe havens
Safe havens are separate units kept close to mainstream activities but away
from the line organization.
Skunk Works
Ensure that emerging ideas get the time
to develop, protected from short-term
budget constraints and premature
criticism
Permit low-risk experimentation
Motivate “renegade” thinkers -- not
people seeking to undermine authority,
but independent visionaries looking to
achieve results.

an organization
