What if you looked at what you considered mistakes as an evolutionary process? Consider that a mistake is truly an opportunity to learn and create better results.
F.A.I.L. First Attempt In Learning. APJ Abdul Kalam
1)Recognizing that there is a problem.
Think about a problem that you had/have. (Opportunity for improvement)
Is it an opportunity for improvement?
2) Cutting your losses. Cutting losses can be the big win.
Is it something where you would be better off letting it go?
IE: stopping production, stop selling, stop doing.
3) Find a solution that works best in your business environment or find how to create a new business model that your idea will work in.
Try again with a new strategy when the opportunity comes up. It could be years later or immediately.
You know what didn’t work. You can use that knowledge to make it work, if it is still valuable for you to do so. (Don’t fall in love with an idea, fall in love with the outcome you want and find the best way to accomplish it.)
4) Just because that something did not work in the past, it does not mean that it cannot work with a new strategy.
What needs to change to make your idea work?
What are the best practices in the industry and will they work for you?
5) Keep looking for ways to improve and expand.
6) Listen to your customers.
7) Most importantly, mistakes are opportunities for learning. What did you learn from your mistakes?
8) Using the R.O.I. Strategy — Recognize, Optimize, Innovate — gives you the opportunity to create new solutions that are advantageous to your company.
Make your best mistake your newest innovation!
