Failure = Success

I have had an article on my website for a many years called “Seeking Initiative and Innovation?  Reward Failure!”  The title is intentionally provocative and counter-intuitive.  The core message is that you will not unleash organizational courage unless you openly and genuinely accept negative outcomes along with the positive ones.

Well, I just saw a TV ad by Domino’s Pizza called “Failure is an Option.”  Yahoo!  Exactly.  They focus on their product development process and the need to accept failures in order to get the successes.
​
Here are a few of the lines from the ad:
  • “We know that not everything is going to work,” Andy Wetzel, Domino’s Product Innovation
  • “If we gave up after every mistake, we would not come up with something new,” Tate Dillow, Domino’s Chicken Chef
  • “In order to get better, in order to move ahead, you are going to make mistakes” and “We cannot be afraid to fail.  It sounds crazy, but it’s who we are,” Scott Hinshaw, Domino’s Executive Vice President Operations

​Yea Domino’s.  They get it.  And the ad suggests they are truly incorporating the “failure is an option” philosophy into their culture.  I predict that along with the occasional setbacks Domino’s will enjoy new successes and product innovations.
