I-Institute of Brilliant Failures ihlose ukukhuthaza isimo sengqondo esihle mayelana nokwehluleka. Thatha ingozi, wenze iphutha, futhi ufunde kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho: lesi simo sengqondo siya ngokuba sibaluleke kakhulu emphakathini wethu. Ibhalwe nguPaul Iske noBas Ruyssenaars
Abaningi bethu baziphatha ngendlela eyingozi ngoba sinomuzwa wokuthi imiphumela emibi yokwehluleka ibaluleke kakhulu kunemivuzo engaba khona yempumelelo.. Ukwesaba ukulahlekelwa umsebenzi wethu, yokungena engozini yokuqothuka, kanye nokungena kokungaziwa kukhulu kunokuqashelwa, isimo kanye nokugcwaliseka okungase kufike uma isinyathelo sethu siphumelela. Ukungabaza kwethu ‘ukukhipha intamo’ kuqiniswa indlela engemihle lapho ukwehluleka kubukwa ngayo izwe elisizungezile.. Futhi uma izinto zihamba kahle, kungani singathatha leyo ngozi? Nokho, ukubaluleka kokuhlola kanye nokubeka engcupheni - okungenzeka ukuthi kukhulu kakhulu kulezi zikhathi zomnotho ezineziyaluyalu – akufanele ithathwe kancane. Uma kungenjalo kuzobusa i-mediocrity! Ake sithi uzibekele umgomo wokuthola umzila wokuhweba osheshayo oya eMpumalanga Ekude. Uhlela uxhaso lohambo lwakho, futhi uqiniseke ukuthi unemikhumbi engcono kakhulu nabasebenzi abatholakala ngaleso sikhathi, futhi wahamba ngomkhumbi waqonda eNtshonalanga esuka ogwini lwamaPutukezi. Nokho, esikhundleni sokufinyelela eMpumalanga Ekude uthola izwekazi elingaziwa. NjengoColumbus, uma udlulela ngale kwemikhawulo yalokho okwaziwayo khona-ke ngokuvamile uthola izinto ezingalindelekile. Inqubekelaphambili nokuvuselela kuxhumene ngokungenakuhlukaniswa nokuhlola kanye nokubeka engcupheni - kanye nethuba lokwehluleka. U-Dom Pérignon kwadingeka asebenze ezinkulungwaneni 'zamabhodlela aqhumayo' ngaphambi kokuba aphumelele ibhodlela le-champagne.. Futhi i-Viagra yayingeke itholakale ukube uPfizer akazange abonise ukuzimisela ekufuneni kwabo isikhathi eside umuthi wokwelapha isimo esihluke kakhulu., i-angina. Izwe esiphila kulo libonakala ngokukhula kwejubane loshintsho nobunkimbinkimbi: ezindaweni eziningi zokuphila siphakathi kwamashifu amakhulu, njengokuvela kwamandla amasha ezomnotho nawepolitiki, nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngokuyinhloko ngenxa ye-inthanethi, umhlaba wethu oxhumeke emhlabeni wonke uya uba mncane. ‘Izithiyo’ ezindala zebanga, isikhathi nemali kuyanyamalala, ngomphumela wokuthi wonke umuntu angabamba iqhaza ekushintshanisweni kwemibono nasemqhudelwaneni. Emhlabeni jikelele, ukuncintisana emikhakheni yolwazi, imibono nezinkonzo, okuyizinto ezibaluleke kakhulu emnothweni wethu, liya ngokushuba. Kule ndawo ubuncane ngeke banele. UMichael Eisner, owayeyi-CEO u-van The Walt Disney Company wayeqiniseka ukuthi isijeziso sokwehluleka ngaso sonke isikhathi siholela ekubeni mnene, bephikisana ngokuthi: "i-mediocrity yiyona into abantu abesabayo abahlala behlezi kuyo". Kafushane, ukubaluleka kwesimo sengqondo esihle ngokuthatha ingozi, ukuhlola, futhi enesibindi sokuhluleka, liyakhula. Isimo sengqondo esinjalo siba sibaluleke nakakhulu lapho siqaphela futhi samukela ukuthi izinguquko ezinkulu okukhulunywe ngazo ngenhla zihambisana nokungaqiniseki okwandayo.. Ngokusho kuka-Igor Ansoff omkhulu wokuphatha amasu lokhu kungaqiniseki kunciphisa amathuba okuba abantu nezinhlangano bahlele kusenesikhathi.. Njengoba ukungaqiniseki kukhula, kanjalo nesidingo salokho akubiza ngokuthi 'ukuguquguquka okusebenzayo': ikhono lokucabanga nokwenza ngaphambi kokuba abanye benze, kanye nekhono lokubhekana nentuthuko nezinguquko ezingalindelekile endaweni yethu. Ukuze sithole indlela yethu kulezi zikhathi ezineziyaluyalu kudingeka sifunde 'ukuzulazula' kunokulawula nokuphatha - futhi lawa makhono athuthukiswa ngokuhlola., ngokwenza amaphutha, nangokufunda kubo. Amashifu nentuthuko ebalulwe ngenhla ahambisana nenani elandayo labantu abahweba ngokuvikeleka kwenkontileka yomsebenzi nenhlangano ukuze bathole umsebenzi wokuba usomabhizinisi., ukukhetha ukuguquguquka okwengeziwe, inkululeko kanye nezingozi. Ku- 2007 i-Dutch Chamber of Commerce ibhalise inombolo yerekhodi 100.000 'abaqalayo' abasha. Futhi iDutch Trade Unions ibikezela ukuthi izinombolo zalabo abazisebenzayo zizokhula kusukela 550.000 phakathi 2006 ku 1 million in 2010. Nakuba liyanda inani labantu abathatha lesi sinyathelo, bavame ukubhekana nokungaqondi phakathi kwalabo ababazungezile uma ukuthutha kwabo kungavuzwa ngokushesha. Umgomo we-Institute of Brilliant Failures ukukhuthaza isimo sengqondo esihle ngokwehluleka. Kulo mongo igama elithi ‘ubuhlakani’ libhekisela emzamweni onzima wokufeza okuthile, kodwa okwaholela emphumeleni ohlukile kanye nethuba lokufunda - imizamo ekhuthazayo efanele ngaphezu kokudelelwa kanye nehlazo lokwehluleka.. I-Institute of Brilliant Failures iyinhlangano yezingxoxo, umkhankaso we-ABN-AMRO. Umgomo we-Dialogues ukukhuthaza ukucabanga nokuziphatha kwezamabhizinisi hhayi kuphela emphakathini wamabhizinisi kodwa emphakathini wonkana., kukho konke ongaba neqhaza ekuguquleni isimo sethu sengqondo mayelana 'namaphutha'. Abenza Amapholisi, izishayamthetho, futhi abaphathi abaphezulu bangaba neqhaza ngokwenza imithethonqubo elula futhi ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi imiphumela emibi yokwehluleka ithathelwa indawo isikhuthazo esihle ‘sokukhipha intamo’. Abezindaba bangadlala indima ekubikeni okuhle okuvelayo kanye nemiphumela 'yokwehluleka'. Futhi ngamunye wethu angafaka isandla ngokudala 'indawo' eyengeziwe yokuthatha ingozi kanye nezamabhizinisi endaweni yethu eseduze, kanye nokwamukela kakhudlwana 'amaphutha'. Ukungabekezelelani kwamaDashi ekuhlulekeni ‘okukhaliphile’ kuboniswa kuwebhusayithi yeSikhungo yilabo abake bazibonela mathupha. Ngemuva kokuthi inkampani ye-Intanethi kaMichiel Frackers i-Bitmagic yehlulekile eNetherlands, Izinkampani ezizinze e-US zimnikeze izikhundla eziningi ezikhangayo. Ama-Frackers: "Ngokwesibonelo, isikhundla soMqondisi Ophethe i-Europe kwa-Google. Kodwa angizange ngithole noma yiziphi izinhlinzeko ezivela ezinkampanini zaseDashi. E-United States ukusabela kwaba…Kuhle! Manje unegazi elincane ekhaleni… Wonke umuntu uthi ufunda okuningi ekuhlulekeni kwakho kunasempumelelweni yakho. Nokho, kubonakala sengathi eNetherlands, asiqondile ngempela”. Iningi ‘lokwehluleka okukhaliphile’ lizalwa ngokuhambisana nokutholwa kukaColumbus kweMelika. 'Umsunguli' usebenza ngenkinga eyodwa futhi ngenhlanhla - noma ukuzola okushiwo kangcono - uthola isisombululo kwenye inkinga.. Kulowo obesebenza enkingeni yokuqala, futhi obhekene nemiphumela engalindelekile, ngokuvamile - kodwa hhayi njalo – 'kunzima' ukubona isicelo esiqondile semiphumela yomsebenzi wabo - i.e. ukubona ukubaluleka ‘ekuhlulekeni’ kwabo. Kodwa ukwehluleka okukhulu akudingekile ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuba kuholele empumelelweni engalindelekile. Okufundwayo kungase kufihlwe ekuhlulekeni ngokwakho. Ku- 2007 Usomabhizinisi waseDashi u-Marcel Zwart 'ozibophezele emphakathini' waqala ukwakha iveni yokulethwa kwamandla kagesi ezosetshenziswa emadolobheni angaphakathi.. Ukwethulwa kwalolu hlobo lwezimoto kuzothuthukisa kakhulu izinga lomoya ezindaweni zasemadolobheni ezinomthamo omkhulu wezimoto. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhlele ukusebenzisa abantu abasha bendawo abangasebenzi abaneziqu zobuchwepheshe ohlelweni lokukhiqiza. Wathola imali yokuqala edingekayo, ubuchwepheshe ‘babulungile’, kanye nocwaningo lwezimakethe e-Netherlands naphesheya lubonise ukuthi kwakunamandla amakhulu okuthengisa. Nokho, naphezu kwakho konke lokhu, uyazabalaza ukuqhubekisela phambili umsebenzi: abatshalizimali basabona izingozi eziningi kakhulu, uhulumeni akabunaki ubuchwepheshe 'obufakazelwe' futhi ukuze afanelekele ukuthola uxhaso udinga ukuxhasa lo msebenzi ngezimali. 50-70% kweminye imithombo. Lezi zici, kanye nemithethonqubo eyinkimbinkimbi, sidale umbuthano ononya futhi iphrojekthi imile kancane. Mnyama: “Ngifunde ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukungabukeli phansi ukuthi kunzima kanjani ukuthi abantu babheke iphrojekthi ngeso elibanzi., ukubheka ngale kwezithakazelo zabo zamanje. Lolu hlobo lwephrojekthi ludinga indlela edidiyelwe kusukela ngosuku lokuqala - futhi lelo iphuzu elibalulekile kosomabhizinisi abazimele. Kusho lokho, ukwethulwa kwalolu hlobo lwemoto kuseduze, futhi uma singavuselela umkhankaso, kakade sesithathe izinyathelo eziningi ezibalulekile endleleni efanele…Njengonozinti empeleni uluhlobo oluthile lokuhamba entanjeni eqinile (isihloko esihunyushiwe NRCOkulandelayo 07/10/08)
