Idea To Value - Creativity And Innovation

In this episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, I speak with Samuel West, the creator and curator of the Museum of Failure in Helsingborg, Sweden. https://www.ideatovalue.com/podc/nickskillicorn/2017/06/podcast-015-samuel-west-can-learn-museum-failure/  The Museum of Failure is a collection of interesting innovation failures. The majority of all innovation projects fail and the museum showcases these failures to provide visitors a fascinating learning experience. The collection consists of over seventy failed products and services from around the world. Every item provides unique insight into the risky business of innovation.
