This year, 2009, I’m teaching a class at QUT’s Creative Industries Faculty on ‘Business and Corporate Development in Creative Industries’ and an online course called ‘Knowledge Transfer and Research Commercialisation’ for e-Grad School Australia. In each case, I estimate about 25% of the contact time, and a similar quantum of preparation time (not to mention 100% of the time spent grading papers and so forth) is dedicated to assessment and evaluation. Leaving aside the obvious inefficiencies, I can’t help but recall Ken Robinson’s critique of a failure-adverse culture in his whimsical TED talk. If we don’t allow (let alone encourage) ‘brave failure’, how can we be surprised when we fail to generate true innovation?
