A grainy, sepia-toned historical-style photograph of a full-scale 1902 Wright brothers glider crashed nose-first into the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk. The wooden frame is splintered and the white fabric wings are torn. To the right, a man in a flat cap and vest (Orville Wright) is crouched in the sand, intensely writing in a leather notebook as he studies the wreckage. Text overlays read: “Perfection is the enemy of progress;” at the top left and “understanding this is the route to perfection. — Gavin A Neate” at the bottom right.

Always have a notebook ready for when you fail..

“Perfection is the enemy of progress; understanding this is the route to perfection”

The Reality Check ⚠️

🚧 Not every initiative wins.
Every failure teaches.

🧠 Validate assumptions
🎯 Users > tools
🔁 Iteration > perfection

Failure doesn’t show weakness.
It shows growth.

Lessons learned from unsuccessful projects There is growing interest across Canadian health care in adopting reusable products and devices to advance environmental sustainability. Transitioning from single-use disposables to reusable alternatives offers multiple co-benefits, but it often requires operational, financial, and cultural changes that can be challenging to navigate. On December 3, join us for a conversation with operational leaders as we discuss lessons learned from reusable initiatives that did not progress, across different sites and care settings. This session is part of the Reusables First webinar series, presented in partnership with the Collaborative Centre for Climate, Health & Sustainable Care Centre for Climate, Health and Sustainable Care. 📅 December 3, 2025 🕐 9–10 a.m. PT | 12–1 p.m. ET | 1–2 p.m. AT 💻 Online via Zoom

Join CASCADES' session on unsuccessful reusable initiatives in #healthcare settings - the innovator's cycle of doing, learning, & iterating! Hear from Nourish Third Cohort Team Lead Elaine Chu & more. 🌎
