“Getting it wrong is right.” from Paul Arden’s book It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be is a path to making something fresh by doing it wrong. Being right means holding on to how things have always been done instead of breaking into new territory. To be right is to play it safe but to be wrong often is where innovation and new ideas are created. Today we look at some examples of how this thinking has been practiced and how you can practice it today.
