Embracing Failure: A Key to Success
Embrace the 'F' word in validation studies - and no, not the one you might think. I'm referring to 'failure.' In validation studies, everyone hopes for results that meet all acceptance criteria. Yet, sometimes, unexpected variables or occurrences can derail the process. While initially seeming detrimental, these moments can offer long-term benefits.
Consider this: if an anomaly occurs during the brief window of validation studies, it might also surface during regular production, posing a greater risk. Validation activities, with their heightened scrutiny, can identify and address these issues early on. In contrast, during standard production, such anomalies might go unnoticed, potentially impacting the customer.
Therefore, when results don't align with expectations, it's crucial for validation professionals to bravely communicate these failures. Recognizing and addressing these 'failures' early on is key to ensuring long-term success and reliability.
Don't let fear of failure hold you back. Embrace it as your stepping stone to success. Share your experiences on LinkedIn or Facebook - how has 'failing forward' propelled your journey?
