Greetings Decision Maker,
In the dynamic realm of Generative AI (Gen AI), “mistakes” are not setbacks, but stepping stones. Embracing failure isn’t a feel-good concept; it’s a strategic imperative, the rocket fuel that propels innovation forward and enables organizations and teams to overcome challenges and manage risks. When we talk about innovation, we must acknowledge that failure is not the opposite of success, but a crucial part of it. Gen AI solutions, by their nature, demand iteration, testing, and refinement. Not every experiment will hit the mark immediately, if at all.

“Huge thanks, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky! I wanted to say that your workshop is already providing value for me outside of the classroom. My team and I were able to go from no knowledge to tool development at the ASNT conference and I already have a second in
testing for the ASNT RISE program. Your approach (solid instruction → rapid prototype → public feedback) easily turns beginners into builders.”

Have you ever watched something develop, hoping and dreaming it will come to fruition, yet facing disappointment time and again? And then, when it seems too late, you start to see it flower, but feel no confidence it will bear useful fruit? That was the experience I and my wife and business partner Agnes Vishnevkin had with our watermelon growing experiment this year. The first crop failed shortly after we transplanted the seedlings that we started indoors. The second crop, grown directly from seeds, wilted shortly after germination. Agnes and I debated whether to try again. It was already early summer, and the growing
season in central Ohio is relatively short for growing a full-size watermelon. We decided to risk it a third time. This time, two of the six plants survived. They even flowered, but the new fruits kept dying on the vine. By the time one of the fruits finally grew larger than a baseball, it was already late August. While we didn't expect it to fully develop before the first frost, we still decided to try. We diligently protected it and removed all other fruit so the plant could focus on this one. We picked the watermelon shortly before the first hard frost, which fortunately arrived late this year. We placed a low likelihood on it being sweet, but the watermelon turned out to be delicious! All of our efforts were not in vain. Do you have any similar experiences, where you invested lots of resources with a low likelihood of success, but actually succeeded due to a lucky break?
