Paul Iske is Professor at the School of Business and Economics, University Maastricht, Netherlands, focusing on Open Innovation and Business Venturing. Special topic: Combinatoric Innovation (Innovation by Combination). He is member of the Management Team of the Service Science Factory (www.servicesciencefactory.nl) and he is on the Board of the Network of Social Innovation. Paul Iske is Chief Dialogues Officer and Director of the Dialogues Incubator at ABN AMRO Bank. In these roles he is responsible for open, radical, social and sustainable innovation.
Furthermore, he is initiator and Director of the Dialogues House, ABN AMRO’s center for outside-in and future-proof thinking and behavior (www.dialogueshouse.nl). The holistic approach taken by Dialogues has been awarded the Banking and Finance Innovation Award for 2008. Paul founded the ‘Institute of Brilliant Failures’ (www.brilliantfailures.com), which is a web 2.0-approach to highlight the importance of experimentation and entrepreneurship to achieve paradigm shifts and breakthrough innovation and to get acceptance for failing as an inevitable part of innovation processes. Since 2004, Paul is initiator and coordinator of ‘Dialogues’, an independent sharing network
of expertise with the following mission: ‘Dialogues fuels entrepreneurial thinking and behavior.” Dialogues is an initiative of ABN AMRO. He plays a leading role in some of the projects within this program, sometimes described as an ‘Intellectual Guerilla’. In the City Dialogues local entrepreneurs are mobilized, which in Maastricht resulted in the establishment of the foundation NC, ‘New Creatives’.

PAUL ISKE AS A SPEAKER FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT?
The goal of his story: Making connections to create opportunities for innovation and sustainable value creation.
In his presentation, Paul Iske discusses the fact that risks have to be taken in complex reality and that not everything will always work out. We have to fall and get up, experiment and learn. Sometimes people are afraid of failing, or are reluctant to tell how things really went. We also see this in the construction sector, where people are of course often not at all waiting for things to go wrong. A safe environment is needed, so that people dare to do things that could fail and where there is room to learn based on experiences. The latter requires 'failure intelligence', which enables us to reflect on things that may go differently than hoped or thought before, during and after our actions. The Institute has developed 16 failure patterns for this purpose, which are explained in the lecture.
Literature
Instituut voor Briljante Mislukkelingen
In 'Instituut voor Briljante Mislukkingen' laat hoogleraar Paul Louis Iske zien hoe je ruimte kunt maken om te experimenteren, innoveren en leren. 'Van fouten maken kun je leren.' 'Ondernemen is vallen en opstaan.' Uitspraken waar je het moeilijk mee oneens kunt zijn, en toch blijkt het in de praktijk niet zo eenvoudig. Meer dan ooit richten we ons op succes en zijn we erop ingesteld alle sporen van onze fouten en mislukkingen zo snel mogelijk uit te wissen.
Dat is niet alleen jammer, maar zelfs gevaarlijk, zegt hoogleraar Paul Louis Iske. Juist in onze complexe en dynamische samenleving moeten we open zijn over gemaakte fouten en ze grondig analyseren om herhaling te voorkomen. Onze angst voor mislukking werkt bovendien belemmerend voor creatieve ideeën en innovatie.
In dit verrassende en meeslepende boek lees je hoe je als organisatie een open cultuur creëert waarin je verder komt doordat je fouten durft te maken. ""Het Instituut voor Briljante Mislukkingen' laat zien hoe je vermijdbare mislukkingspatronen herkent en hoe je dankzij (briljante) mislukkingen je kennis continu vergroot, beter om leert gaan met onzekerheden, tot belangrijke vernieuwingen in staat bent en de toekomst krachtig tegemoet gaat.
