I made 5,127 prototypes of my vaccum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one. Thatโs how I came up with a solution. So I donโt mind failure.
James DysonThe important thing is to learn from mistakes - something graduates are adept at. Our graduate engineers are working on new technology - from uncharted applications for our digital motor, to a new take on the hand dryer. With an unhindered mind, nothing is off limits.
James DysonNobody wants the expenditure of a lease on a factory which lasts 21 years. You can't plan 21 years ahead.
James DysonHire inexperience. This year we plan to hire 200 engineers - half of whom are recent grads. Young people are not burdened by years of experience. They haven't learned - or been told - what is right or wrong. With engineering, there is no tried and tested path. You try, and fail, and fix, and fail again.
