What is learned from failure is the ability to adapt, redirect, redesign, examine from a different perspective to effect change, progress, perhaps even survival. As I see it, the risk of failure needs to be there to both motivate the individual toward a successful resolution and to realize the benefit of the win.
Just how fast do we learn from failure? Well, that’s a tough question. If the repercussions from a lost sale by your action/inaction caused you to lose your job, you would probably learn quickly. If a failed action caused few or no consequences, you may not learn at all. In my view, there are too many variables to adequately consider it.

For me there is some difference between planning for failure, which I write into my teaching, learning from my own failure (which I suppose I also plan for) and public failure.

If I want students to learn then I need to create situations in which they can be “tested”, that is a time when they can learn to experience knowing that they do not know. This chance to “fail” teaches them not just the subject knowledge they need but also how to tolerate failure and how to deal with failure.

Every time I try to improve my teaching it is because of some sort of perceived failure. This is non-competative failure. In this 50-75% failure rate you mention do we include the failures we have identified for ourselves or only those failures others have identified for us?

Thanks for the two articles Bill.
