From Failure to Innovation: The Learnings from Our Events
Talking about failures in a business environment remains a challenge. At a global company specializing in creating native digital products, where innovation and digital transformation are fundamental pillars, learning from failure is essential.
This company today has 28,900 professionals and is present in more than 30 countries. They work for companies like Google, Rockwell Automation, Electronic Arts, Santander, among others.
Along with the team from The Failure Institute Buenos Aires, we held a private event where the collaborators of this global company shared real stories of projects that did not go as expected.
When Failure Becomes Part of the Journey
“When we start working, we quickly realize that mistakes become taboo.”
At this global company, challenging the status quo is part of the culture, and this event was a good opportunity to demonstrate it. The collaborators who took the stage shared transparently how they faced difficult times and what they did differently the next time.
“The one who acts, makes mistakes. What matters is what you do next.”
A Format that Connects with the Audience
With an audience of more than 600 people, the event was held in a hybrid format in Buenos Aires. We worked with the speakers from this global company to curate and focus the stories on learnings, peeling back the layers to reach the core of each story: vulnerability.
JAO Oyhanart, Javier Alejandro Mordcovich, and Roberto Miguel Chavez shared their stories where decision-making, time pressure, and the constant evolution of the digital world played a crucial role in fulfilling their business promise: Creating digital products that people love 💚
The learnings shared on stage opened up space for collective reflection on the balance of 2024 and the possible challenges and possibilities for innovation in 2025. As mentioned by Guibert Englebienne, co-founder of this global company, on his social networks:
“There is no growth without setbacks, and no learning without mistakes.”
Transforming Failures into Opportunities
The stories shared by the collaborators built a space for learning and reflection, providing tools to turn any failure into a competitive advantage.
What defines the collaborators is not the absence of failures, but the ability to learn from them and move forward with more intelligence and resilience.
At The Failure Institute and this global company, we know well: it is not about avoiding failure, but about leveraging it to build something better. And if there is one thing we are sure of, it is that this will not be the last stumble—nor the last learning.
See you at the next challenge. 🚀
