Minister Joyce has the opportunity to redefine ‘failure’
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 9 Feb. 2012 ) Apparently, new super minister Stephen Joyce (Minister of Science & Innovation, Economic Development and Tertiary Education, Skills & Employment), likes to dive deep into details of a new role or portfolio, before surfacing with a strategic direction.
So, as he tries to figure out the government’s lines of science and innovation attack for the coming three years; let him consider failure.
And, specifically in New Zealand’s case, with consideration of the Kiwi psyche, the opportunity he has to redefine so-called failure, and promote innovation.
