Why do so many innovation projects fail? What are the root causes of failure? How can they be avoided? Since 1991, Tony Ulwick has pioneered an innovation process that answers these questions.

An eye for an eye is a justice principle that calls for a penalty commensurate with the nature of the offense. Although it is frequently used in regard to criminal law, it can also be used in other spheres of life, such as intimate partnerships and commercial transactions. The idea that justice should be speedy and unambiguous is the foundation of the "eye for an eye" principle. It is also predicated on the idea that the sentence should be appropriate for the offense. This means that the penalty must be harsh enough to discourage future offenses without being unusually or cruelly severe.
