Here's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Guide, which describes the Failure-Proofing technique:

- To prevent failure in implementing decisions, or in managing projects or processes, imagine that it completely failed. Then, brainstorm all plausible reasons for failure, and generate solutions to these potential problems. Integrate these solutions into your project or process.

- To maximize project or process success, envision that it succeeded spectacularly. Brainstorm likely reasons for such success, and generate strategies that would lead to such success. Integrate these strategies into your project or process.

Now I also am a victim of developing ideas for a project and just go with implementations, I wished I really listened to this earlier but am glad you shared this information, it's really helpful. Now I know better to use the failure proofing technique to aid me in making better and well thought out decisions. Thanks for sharing.
