.....the problem...

The Dinosaur Theory

Still being developed. Action research in practice.

Your manager is male over 40

He’s more concern with keeping and protecting the status que, than trying out

new things.

No.

No.......

No!

‘’It’s probably best if we just did like last year.....’’

‘’That curiosity. You’ll lose it eventually because you’re going to get old. And the older you get the harder it is to take an

interest in new things. I find it in myself....you have to force yourself’’

- Michael Lewis, FT, Nov 13. 2011

The Dinosaur theory says you reach a point when creativity, curiosity, the desire for change, the taste for risks and for

new things all start to fade away.

Change becomes unpleasant.

Innovation and new ideas stop.

In short, you become a Dinosaur

But, Dinosaur is a mental age. It is not a physical age.

Hypothesis

“It is not the strongest of the

species that survives, nor the most

intelligent that survives. It is the one

that is the most adaptable to change.”

What does the following firms have in common?

All started by people under 30.

‘’Trust the young. Young people have a lot to contribute,

but generation after generation, those who reach power protect that power, rather than

teach others how to attain it’’

Guy Labierté, founder,,Cirque du Soleil

Which Big, Brave Questions are you asking?

If you can change one thing about this company, what would it be?

I also realized how creatively bankrupt most companies are today. With a constant focus on cost cutting, efficency gains, and top-down control, too

many organizations have lost their mojo.

- Josh Linkner

Most companies wish they were more innovative.

85 % of executives rank innovation as a top five priority.

But few leaders have the training...

Few executives have built the culture...

Few companies have the tools...

to lead innovation.
