Instead, Kennedy\u2019s vision galvanised his nation and, allied to federal resource, gave the program the impetus it needed.<\/p>\n<p>NASA\u2019s \u2018moonshot\u2019 has since become a byword for ingenious and audacious projects that showcase adaptive growth. That is: being adaptable in the face of change and challenges, continuously striving for growth and improvement, learning from your experiences and making strategic decisions that drive progress and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Moonshots were a theme of the recent Leaders Sport Performance Summit at Red Bull in Santa Monica, with Jennifer Allum, who is part of the leadership team at Alphabet\u2019s X, The Moonshot Factory, taking to the stage to discuss an environment where audacity is a prerequisite.<\/p>\n<p>It was a marvellous start to proceedings on the morning of day one but, in truth, other themes discussed across both days, from talent and creativity to strategic thinking and resilience, just as readily point to adaptive growth.<\/p>\n<p>Here, inspired by the worlds of sport, the arts and academia, we touch upon seven factors that can help to fuel your own moonshot, whether you\u2019re taking your first small step, sustaining your early momentum, or looking to make a giant leap.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Fearlessness in the face of failure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Harvard professor Clayton Christensen observed that large, established organisations do not always take advantage of potentially disruptive technologies and trends, while newer and less-established organisations often do. In his 1997 book <em>The Innovator\u2019s Dilemma<\/em>, he explores the tension between sustaining existing products and embracing disruptive innovations.<\/p>\n<p>Allum discussed the concept onstage in front of an audience where \u2018failure\u2019 is a common bedfellow. She understands that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, could easily fall prey to the Innovator\u2019s Dilemma. So while X, The Moonshot Factory performs an instrumental role in delivering \u2018moonshot technologies that make the world a radically better place\u2019, there are myriad failures that pile high on their factory floor \u2013 and Alphabet wouldn\u2019t have it any other way because they perceive failure as a learning opportunity rather than a threat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allum\u2019s top tips for avoiding the Innovator\u2019s Dilemma:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aim for 10x not 10%<\/strong> \u2013 use \u2018bad idea brainstorms\u2019; practise the behaviours of audacious thinking; put everything on the table.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be scrappy, test early<\/strong> \u2013 reject the social norm of refining; find the quickest way to learn that you\u2019re on the wrong path; have a thick skin and be OK with people thinking you\u2019re wrong and weird.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build-in different perspectives<\/strong> \u2013 recruit for a growth mindset (high humility, high audacity; people who take risks in their own lives; who think differently and challenge the way problems are solved).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reframe failure as learning <\/strong>\u2013 you can\u2019t solve for success, so track what you do, as failures will support future ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>\u201cWe reward project shutoffs, dispassionate assessments, and intellectual honesty.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Jennifer Allum, leadership team, X, The Moonshot Factory<\/pre>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Swerve common pitfalls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Long-established teams can all do better, but what of those just starting out, particularly in women\u2019s sport? How can a beginner\u2019s zeal be channelled into establishing a stable, long-term concern? Those are two of the questions currently facing NSWL expansion team Bay FC and their WNBA counterparts the Golden State Valkyries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is an exciting time for women\u2019s sport but there are pitfalls to be avoided:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s important to understand and appreciate the differences between men\u2019s and women\u2019s sport<\/strong> \u2013 don\u2019t look to replicate the approach. Bay have, for example, intentionally fashioned a culture that is people-first, player-centric and focused on player health.<\/li>\n<li>What skills are required in expansion environments? An entrepreneurial mindset, for one. <strong>Embrace the unknown and have empathy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>There will be critical moments in the early days, but this is where you can shape the culture<\/strong>.
