To think that there is a web site on which you can look and learn from other peoples mistake is a simple idea, but just like the wheel... brillant.
Well done to all concerned

Since I joined the Mistake Bank and started reading about the valuable blunders of other people I keep finding myself in moments of solitary reflection thinking what mistake I will write about next. In the process I've been discovering the benefits of mistakes I have long thought of as having no value. Like a lot of people, I think I have always thought of mistakes as things to keep secret and occasionally cringe at the the thought of, and that's not a healthy way to think, for one person or for a whole society. Especially in professional life mistakes are hugely undervalued. The idea of the Mistake Bank is a wonderful and needed one, and I hope it grows by leaps and bounds.

I think real people learn through stories, and, for whatever reasons, we learn a lot through the negative. Watch yourself when you sit with a stranger on a plane ... it's easier to talk about what's wrong than what's right. Am I right? That's how we learn.
And the mistake bank is built for that. Use it, learn from it, add to it ... what -- you've never made a mistake?

When trying to improve, organisations almost always look at 'best practices', which they try to copy to get successful too. Of course these efforts usually fail, as the new context differs from the old one. Plus that copy cat behaviour gets mediocricy at best. A much, MUCH better way to learn and to get inspiration is by thinking over mistakes. And the Mistake Bank is the very first global online community where people do exactly that. Here, people come together to tell and listen to stories about the mistakes people made themselves or saw being made by others. Brilliant concept! I sincerely recommend The Mistake Bank: http://mistakebank.ning.com/.
