What is the First Penguin Award? With the metaphor story of the first penguin, we encourage our employees at Incentro to take risks. To Fail. To Learn. And in the end to succeed, by being courageous.
Our mission is Digital Happiness. We have 3 core values, Happiness, Specialism, and Ambition. In the second, but especially in the third value, taking risks is required. As a result, we stimulate failure with an award.
Also read this article on Medium: How to stimulate failure with the first penguin award.
What steps to take for the practice
- Buy a cuddly penguin somewhere – An award, without a price, isn't an award. So buy one.
- Excitement – Make sure there is excitement up front.
- Why – Explain why this award/initiative has come to live and what you want to achieve. And explain how it works.
- Share your own ‘first penguin story’ – To set an example and to start the ideation going.
Expected results
The results where great. Although we don't have any measurable results. But our colleagues were very enthusiastic about it. Started sharing their learnings, not only during the 'award sessions'.
