<p<strongAccomplishments Follow Failures: Success Through Experimentation</strong<br /2 Business Management and Organization credits<br /</p
<pEvery success is the result of numerous experiments that failed. Every scientific advance was preceded by failures. To be direct, failures lead to success. Every failure is temporary, merely an opportunity to improve. Why are failures feared? Successful organizations continuously experiment, e.g., QVC, so they can learn and stay ahead of the competition. Recall the maxim – if you keep doing what you have always done, then you always get what you always got. We will demonstrate the advantages of embracing experiments as a method to improve the organization and fuel growth.</p
