No!. The desire to act as if we have new watersheds every year is misguided and is an ineffective view for managers.

New twists on old ideas are worthwhile and the rare new good ideas are also great. But managers are better off if they understand the best old ideas and the they can incorporate new twists instead of just accepting a new superficial fad. Imagine this. Until recently, team members building Camrys and Avalons had to choose between 24 variations of sun visors. Twenty-four! And this is just one example of hundreds of variations we deal with.
