It’s not about old versus new, or tradition versus innovation or, creativity instead of convention and slow versus fast. It’s actually about combining the them and understanding how they add value to your business. No one should drop the conventional way of doing things overnight without thinking about how they are going to develop a culture of creativity. Nor, should anything be banished to the dungeons of the company just because it ain’t trendy anymore without careful consideration.
There is a danger in abandoning everything we know. Things are definitely changing, more rapidly than we ever imagined and it will only get quicker. But sometimes, it’s the traditional things you do that make you different and sometimes even better. Occasionally, it’s very important to go slow, very slow. Change the pace of things and issues look very different.
Retaining some of the old stuff can be just as significant as embracing the new way of doing things. The important point to know is how they impact, which ones to keep and develop and which new ideas you need to go full pelt at. Is what you are doing good enough and what is missing?
