How to Fail Successfully: GeoInsight's Path to Innovation

Innovation and failure are intrinsically linked. Kathryn Waltenberg will show how failure is integral to the development of the newly-launched GeoInsight platform, powering the delivery of geoscience information to those without a geology background.
Fear of failure can be daunting, but it plays a crucial role in driving successful innovation. Kathryn Waltenberg will demonstrate how experiencing and learning from failure is fundamental to the development of the web-based GeoInsight platform, designed to provide geoscience information to those without a geology background. Currently in its pilot stage, GeoInsight is being actively developed with a human-centered design approach that challenges assumptions through evidence-based practices. GeoInsight supports Geoscience Australia’s objective of delivering rapid access to geoscience insights for informed decision-making by remaining open to feedback on what works and what doesn’t, ensuring it meets users' needs effectively.
