A culture of innovation is only possible if people are empowered to contribute ideas. It doesn’t matter if it’s a good idea or not because sharing through networking will turn every idea into a learning tool.

- By Ricardo Nunes

How does a business define failure? When an employee has an idea for a new product and the product never gets designed or manufactured, did the idea and the employee fail? What if the original idea was shared, parsed, blended with other ideas, re-assembled with new concepts and shaped into a brand new idea leading to innovation in products or services? Who succeeded and who failed? The end result may not be recognizable as the original idea, but it was the first idea that sparked the innovation process. Without the first idea, there would not be a new idea to emerge at the end of a creative process.
