Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens the survival of companies everywhere£®It¡¯s based on the assumption that old ideas will always work£¬so they shouldn¡¯t be challenged£® While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don¡¯t change£¬it¡¯s unlikely to hold true in a changing situation£®In today¡¯s rapid changing global environment£¬old methods often don't work£¬and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems£®

Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security£®If everyone else believes it£¬then it must be true£®Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right£¬and being right is good£® They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work£®In 1977£¬Ken Olsen£¬co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC)£¬stated ¡°There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home£®¡± Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry£¬DEC no longer exists£®

People seem to forget that since innovation is a change£¬there can be no innovation without change£®Unfortunately£¬conventional wisdom prevents leaders£¬followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating£®If companies don¡¯t innovate£¬but their competitors do£¬the future is likely to be problematic£® Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries£¬so it has a powerful effect on business success£®
