Many management teams are involved in fire fighting and
solving urgent matters that have developed into critical situations. Time needs
to be set apart to study alternative solutions for the problems that lie under
the surface of a running organization. ‘Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke,’ say
the Americans, meaning, do not change something that is working well. This is
disastrous advice in the present context of rapid change. Status quo is the
gateway to overnight obsolescence. Innovation should be planned when things are
going well. When things are going badly, when survival itself is an issue, no
one has the time or energy to look for alternatives.

program to harvest new ideas from young executives.
