Healthcare is facing drastic changes. More customization, an emphasis on quality of life, targeted funding and a shift to "self-management" of the patient. Innovation will be accompanied by trial and error. Because new initiatives do not always go as planned. And that is just as well. After all, innovation is mainly the result of learning from what does not work. Learning ability is a sign of strength. But it takes guts. And an open dialogue.

Yet we often do not dare to be open if we do not achieve our goals. The Institute for Brilliant Failures wants to change that. Because in a professional environment, it is often the failures that lead to progress. During the learning process in healthcare, we are committed to increasing the learning capacity in healthcare. We do this, among other things, by presenting the annual Brilliant Failures Award in Healthcare and by publishing the Dutch Magazine for Brilliant Failures.. Ultimately we want to contribute to increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare by activating and enthusing professionals and organizations to learn from the outcomes and approach of innovation projects and to anchor what they have learned in the organization and the sector.
