Let's say one of my players comes up with an ingenious idea. It's fun, it's creative and it makes sense for their character. I want to reward them and inspiration is the obvious choice. But then they try to execute the idea and, maybe due to a bad roll, it unfortunately fails. Do I still get to give them inspiration?
I thought this was obvious but I am not looking for an explanation of what inspiration is. I know that. I am asking what you would do if an inspiration-worthy idea goes pear shaped.

If you're the DM, you can give inspiration for anything you want. But dice roll results are probably not what you want to encourage here.
Obviously the DM is in charge of everything at the table, up to and including overruling any published rule or detail from any official or unofficial source. But inspiration is even more explicitly under your control.
Ultimately, inspiration is a reward for playing in a way that the DM likes. If one of your players comes up with an idea that is creative and true to their character, as described in your question, I would award inspiration on the spot. For me, what earns the inspiration is the player thinking like their character and engaging with the game enough to come up with a clever idea.
Execution of the idea is irrelevant to the gameplay features I care about, and dependent on dice. Inspiration is not meant to be a randomly awarded prize. I would want to reward the player's approach to the game and creativity, and not the outcome of an arbitrary roll.
As novel example, I play tabletop games with a lot of people that like to min-max stats and experiment with optimized builds. But that's at the metagame level, and has nothing to do with the in-game behaviors that I particularly appreciate.
So my players won't get inspiration for taking an off-the-shelf build and playing it with a mathematical eye. However, if one of these players makes a suboptimal decision in-game (or even an outright error, given meta-knowledge) because it is true to their character or deepens the game in some way, I very well might award inspiration even though that choice makes "success" less likely.
