We live in an unprecedented time of transformation. Digital Technologies are impacting not only companies but the society as a whole: Industry 4.0, Virtual Reality, gamification, Smart Cities, wearable clothes … are just some of the buzz words. This is driving organizational change, with it a cultural revolution.
Innovation requires a mindset accepting setbacks, adjustments, mistakes, errors as part of the development path.
When innovation happens at this incredible rapid pace, the art of learning from mistakes becomes crucial.
A movement where stories of failed businesses and projects are shared, discussed and embraced is growing globally – FuckUp Nights.
It started in 2012 in Mexico City and is now the most active creator’s movement on the planet – it means that every month more than 10.000 people make time to go to FuckUp Nights –short FUN – and listen to
3 people who share their stories in 7 minutes and 10 images
- What was the project?
- What went wrong?
- What did you learn?
- What would you do differently?
Today there are 143 active cities in 53 countries where people listen to three stories about failure each lasting 7 minutes on a regular basis.
So GO OUT and find a FuckUp Night near you.
If it is not in your city yet, move to a city where it is 🙂 … or ORGANIZE one in your city.
Happy to support you in it.
WHY?
Because I am just in the middle of doing this myself and it is my “must” to share my experiences with others. Thanks to everyone sharing their experience with me: The FuckUpNight international community, Salomé Wagner from FUN Vienna, Claudius Krucker from FUN St.Gallen and Réginald Bien-Aimé and Fanny Bauer organizing FUN in Geneva, Lausanne and Zurich.
We are putting Basel – Switzerland’s most dynamic and innovative economic area – on the Map:
The First Ever FuckUp Night in Basel will happen on May 12, 2016 at 19 pm at the Lohnhof, Im Lohnhof 8, 4051 Basel.
Weil Fehler zum Erfolg führen
Because errors are on your way to success
Parce que l’erreur est source de succès
The specialty: Basel is located shoulder to shoulder to Germany and France – actually a stone throw distance from almost all corners of the city – with globally present companies. Therefore the event is trilingual (English, Deutsch, Francais).
What is the specialty of your city?
