experience could be our worst enemy part II...

...remember a participant at AAPBS conf in hong kong also commented about b-schools being headed by old (i would prefer to call it experienced) professors...while it is good to have experience people heading b-schools but their old paradigm or way of thinking may sometimes hinder progress...many may not agree with the statement but thinking deeper i believe he has a point there...the world is different now...we are living and working in a .Net or global environment... .Net thinking...fast, ubiquitous and flexible...so the demands for b-schools are greater than ever, hence our KPIs...and b-schools must rise to these challenges to remain relevant, referred and respected...i look at it as an opportunity to reinvent ourselves...we must change the way we run our business...and change fast...hmmm but change is difficult...always...becos people just hate to change...so probably we just need crazy people with crazy ideas to head b-schools...people like Sir Richard Branson or Datuk Seri Tony Fernandez...who are willing to do anything and sacrifice everything to succeed...but can we find one?
