experience could be our worst enemy...

attended asia pacific regional conference organized by aacsb in singapore last week...funny, i've been to more than 20 countries but that's my first time in singapore...yeah singapore is interesting...quite a modern country but i'm not gonna talk about it...i'm more interested to share about the conference...it was a great conference with more than 200 participants...i had great times meeting and discussing with many business school deans from this region...but one that really caught my ears was the clichĂ© mentioned by one of the speakers...he talked about the way forward for b-schools and the kind of leadership required for the changes...he then quoted Paul Getty who said 'in times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy'...hmm very interesting...it sounds a bit wrong ain't it?...people always talk about the importance of experience...and its relationship with wisdom....but this guy said experience would hinder progress...wow but thinking deeper he may be right...to be continued...gotta go to sleep now good night
