What Fails and When? A Process View of Innovation Failure10 Mar 202500:22:00
Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166497224000452?via%3Dihub Innovation failures come in different forms, but how do we make sense of them? This episode explores a process-oriented framework for understanding innovation failure. We discuss how task failures and outcome failures vary across different phases of the innovation journey, and present a typology of four distinct failure modes: unsolicited failures that should be prevented, hazardous failures that can be mitigated, fortuitous failures that provide unexpected opportunities, and excursive failures that can be harnessed for learning. Using IDEO's shopping cart project as an illustrative example, we examine how organizations can develop more nuanced approaches to anticipating, valuing, and learning from different types of innovation failures.

What We Heard: Results from the AI Trust Study on Canada.ca04 Mar 202500:09:00
Source: https://digital.canada.ca/2025/02/18/what-we-heard-results-from-the-ai-trust-study-on-canada.ca/ The Digital Transformation Office at CDS conducted an extensive AI Trust study to understand how Canadians feel about artificial intelligence on government websites. With over 1,500 Canadian participants from every province and territory, the study revealed key insights: people are more skeptical of AI-generated text than images, prefer simple citations that mention human expert review, and would trust a custom Canada.ca AI solution more than existing AI chatbots. The findings show that while AI use isn't essential for building trust, transparency about its application is crucial to maintain public confidence in the Canada.ca brand. This episode explores how these insights are shaping guidance for government communicators across Canada. The contents and hosts of this podcast are AI generated.
