“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes.”

Proust

DEALING WITH CHANGEMake sure you have a clear understanding of

your own paradigms

Ask yourself “Who in another field would be interested in my unsolved problems?” GO AND TALK TO THEM

When a change is suggested work through the positive and negative aspects of the change

Seek outside your own paradigm shifts by thinking outside the circle

WHY ARE NEW IDEAS REJECTED?

We just don’t have the time for that!

We have always done it that way.

Do we really need it?

I am quite sure it wouldn't work.

It is much too risky!

It will never work in practice.
