If it Ain’t Broke… Break it

In their book, “If It Ain’t Broke … Break It!” (Get it at Amazon.com or Kalahari.net), the authors, Louis Patler and Robert J. Kriegel, observed: “Not only is everything changing, but everything exists in relationship to something else that is changing.” If we don’t adjust to that, we will face extinction.

Of course, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is conventional wisdom. Yet the fact is that every organisation needs to embrace constant change, which is the basis of innovation (after all, if innovation is not change from status quo, what is it?). The successes of the past and overall health often mask the fact that some changes are long overdue.
