Notes de l'éditeur

  1. A brilliant failure is a serious effort to achieve something but which led to a different outcome and the opportunity to learn. 1)Did you have good intentions? ( not at the expense of others or society at large 2)did you prepare well (failure through poor preparation or silly mistakes are not a brilliant) 3)Did you NOT achieve your original goal? 4)Did you or others learn something from your failure? Stock of some 90 cases on our website. Still groiing. Not for now.
  2. Last year we organized our the first award for the best learning moment in sustainable development. With the award ceremony at the 1% club event in amsterdam. Our aim with this award is to promote learning from failure, transparancy and to pormote entrepreneurila behaviour and tatking calculted risks. And next month we will open this years call for participation. We invite every organization that actively contribute to sustainable development to submit a case this year.
