"Mistakes are the portals of discovery." - James Joyce Timing is everything! When is the right time to innovate? When is the wrong time? There is a fine line between the success and failure of innovation within the AEC/O industry. Failure is beneficial to individuals, companies, and industries. It is how limits are identified, how ideas grow, and how we teach others. Almost all innovation comes with failure. The industry should accept and embrace this fact. This year, we hear from Visionaries about their experiences with innovations that did not quite make it to the success side As Henry Ford put it, “The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.”
Constituents and members of the Construction Institute enjoyed a beautiful, brisk autumn day filled with golf, games, raffles, camaraderie, and food. The original date of the scheduled event was rained out, but the rescheduled date proved to be a winner for all in attendance. We thank our sponsors and volunteers for helping us put on another successful event, and thank all our members for participating in this fun social event. |
