Status Quo

If you ask someone, “Why do you do it that way?”  (You can ask yourself this very same question.)

And the response is…

“Because it’s always done that way.”  Or “That’s what everyone else does.” Or “It’s industry standard.”

Be alert.

That probably means it’s a time for a change. (Management consulting, a $250 billion industry, was founded and continues to thrive on this single principle.)

Also be excited.

For therein lies your opportunity.
