The typical organization goes through 100 "investigations" or idea concepts to get to one success*. They have a larger pool of resources to execute those 100 investigations, but I think the larger point is that you need to get through a lot of muck to get to the one success.

The summary is (taken from Amazon): - Winners quit (regroup. cut their losses, switch gears) whenever necessary on the path to winning. - Be the best, and the world comes knocking at your door. - Work through the pain, because the reward is waiting for you further down the road. Sounds like keep doing what you’re doing. Source:The Human Side of Managing Technological Innovation: A Collection of Readings
