"Culture of Failure" Good luck selling that to upper management. On the contrary, quick iterations are about reducing the risk of building the wrong thing. Of course in the normal "blaming" corporate culture this won't work, because departments are always competing over budget and deliverables that are not "perfect" will be used as ammunition against the department where the product came from.

I usually prefer to call it "culture of learning to get back up again after falling."

  Just "Culture of Learning" sounds great.

    Already used outside of the development world, so I suppose it would be par for the course on confusion.

  Good one; I amended the original text.

On the other hand those types do love them a bit of darwinian language. Call it 'Aggressive pursuit of fitness" or something.

  Not really into using darwinian language, but I like the focus on fitness. It may work better for customer-facing products ("Market Fit" is a thing), but It may be harder to sell it for internal products ("Functional Fit"?)
