Success and Failure Drive Innovation

Polly Sumner, Salesforce.com
and Liz Tinkham, Accenture

Accenture’s Liz Tinkham interviews salesforce.com’s Polly Sumner about entrepreneurship that occurs in both large and small companies. They both agree that innovation and risk-taking occur in any-sized company where the culture emphasizes “no idea is a dumb idea.” Sumner advises young entrepreneurs to not fear risk: every failure teaches you a valuable lesson, and once learned, success is that much sweeter.
