Q1: Estimates of Innovation Failure Rates
If you do not work directly in innovation, please make an estimate based on your professional experience/ reading or opinion
For a highly innovative project, product or company, what is your estimate of the failure rate? *
Q2: Failure and Professional Progression
Does failure hamper career progression in your sector? By use of the term "Sector" we mean industry sector, NGO, Government Academia etc.  If you have worked in more than one sector, base your answer on your current work. 
How often does your sector promote professionals with a history of two or more failed projects/ programs/ products or companies?  *
Q3: Talking about Failure
Are failures discussed in your sector? Or are they perhaps ignored, covered up or otherwise hidden?
How often are failures documented and discussed in your sector? *
Q4: Learning from Failure 
Does your organisation have processes to learn from failure? By learning from failure, we mean that you've witnessed your organisation changing how they do things after a failed project or initiative.

Q5: Hypothetical question on failure in your role
Based on your current role and organisation, how much professional risk would failure bring for you? For this question, imagine that you are in charge of a cross departmental/ multi stakeholder project rather than simply failing at your role tasks.
If you were put in charge of a project or programme or product with above 80% chance of failure, would your future career prospects be a large concern for you? *
