By defining a brand’s particular kind of relationship, companies can create greater engagement, differentiation, and loyalty.

You’re working on a new venture and you know you’ve got to create a plan to execute it. So you look at past projects, gather and analyze relevant market data, make predictions about how much revenue you’ll be able to generate, decide what resources you’ll need, and set milestones to reach your targets.

The value of failure has become a mantra in Silicon Valley, with the rise of events like FailCon , a conference “for startup founders to study their own and others’ failures and prepare for success.” Failure, the thinking goes, is an intense form of hands-on education that — when done right — enables you to learn quickly and grow.
