Success Is Just Designed Failure with Dr James A Robertson

About Dr James A Robertson

Dr James A Robertson is an engineer by training who has identified that “Engineers do not design bridges to stand up, they design bridges not to fall down”

“He has applied these principles in his career of troubleshooting and turning around big business software systems (ERP) and achieving high value outcomes and in the field of the implementation and configuration of such systems. “He has found that the principle of “design against failure” is of universal relevance in life.

Success Is Just Designed Failure

What if failure wasn’t something to avoid, but something to design against? In this episode of My Perfect Failure, Dr. James A Robertson reveals why success is simply the result of learning from—and protecting against—failure. From leading troops in the South African army to helping companies transform through ERP systems, James shares lessons on how to build resilience in both life and business.

Takeaways:

· Why success should be seen as “failure designed out.”

· How ERP failures mirror personal failures—and what to do about it.

· The 7 common traps that derail both people and businesses.

· Why good data matters as much on the battlefield as in the boardroom.

· How ERP, done right, can turn chaos into clarity.
