Black Swan Event: “First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside
the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the
past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it
carries an extreme 'impact'. Third, in spite of its outlier
status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for
its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and
predictable.”
Definition coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and can be referenced https://fs.blog/2011/10/what-is-a-black-swan/

Capture REFINE Retire
New ideas are collected from
sources both internal and
external to your organization.
The most promising ideas are
taken from concept to creation
and rolled out to interested
stakeholders.
The company cuts ties with
products and processes before
they become an emotional and
economical drain.
