ABSTRACT
The authors came up with a few areas that were likely stumbling blocks in the creative (design-thinking inspired) process while they were developing the LAUNCH Cycle. One of the keys to the LAUNCH Cycle is taking the time to Look, Listen, and Learn throughout the entire process. Whether it is students doing a Genius Hour Project, teachers creating their own PD, or school leaders implementing an initiative—the key is to be transparent with that learning process. This chapter explores how to fail better, and bounce back stronger, and not be afraid to share it with the world. One of the best lessons on sharing how failure is part of the design-thinking process is happening right now, in front of our eyes on public display. Ultimately, people can learn a lot from the experiences (and failures) of people like Elon Musk.
