Failure is part of innovation and a lack of tolerance for failure or experimentation ensures that you will not have innovation. One area where companies kill innovation is their patent review processes. For more information on why “Patent Review Committees” kill innovation see http://hallingblog.com/2009/09/01/want-to-get-more-for-your-patent-dollar/ Excellent post.

And, this is accomplished by a cross-functional approach that starts with the Vice-Presidents. This approach crushes the old "Silos". Failure of course does arise in innovation. But at Toyota you are not fired for trying. You may be fired for failing to learn.<br />:) Mike Davis www.mma.ca Hi Mark and friends/ followers.
Firstly: thank you because this post plays right into my recent blogs about Hoshin management.
