Invert the Problem

Charlie Munger is well-known for his admonition to 'always invert'. Was trying to understand what this technique was about. He has some good YouTube videos explaining how he uses it.

As far as I can tell, it works something like this.  If you wanted to figure out how to ensure your project ends up successful, you should also invert the problem and ask, how can you make the project fail? Understand the causes of failure, and then don't do them.  In addition to how you can make the project fail, think about what else can make the project fail, and then plan against them. The latter is more risk management though.
