Creativity and originality are at times challenging to come by in most organizations. Way too frequently folks follow the same path that was cut by those before them without considering all available options. It is imperative to consider alternatives and ensure that you and your business are using the best available solutions and are not simply maintaining status quo.
At times, this will mean going down that road less traveled and exploring new ideas. Obviously, during this process one should avoid creating unnecessary work and duplication of services, but should commit to exploration of ideas with an open mind. Consider your options seriously, reach out to your colleagues across the industry and decide with the best organizational outcome in mind.
