BIABLT and Innovation

One of the Professor's favorite sayings are:

Because Its Always Been Like That. BIABLT. This week Gerry McGovern picks up on the theme to explain about challenging the status quo.

So what does BIABLT signify? It signifies the reasons why some rather illogical and very often times unnecessary processes, procedures etc exist. it should also be a catalyst to challenge this status quo and find innovative ways around the issue or problem.

Gerry's examples are a bit lame - it is a series of metaphors on Ovens and Pigs - but his point should be well taken. In these days of GFC and challenged budgets, we have to be innovative more than we have ever been. it means that we cannot sit on our hands. It also means that we should NEVER ASSUME anything.

One of my father's favorite expressions was "Opposite of the Obvious". Now that is a lesson we can all learn
