Leave something alone; avoid attempting to correct, fix, or improve
what is already sufficient.
The attitude, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is the enemy of
disruptive thinking. It’s the seemingly unbroken aspects of a situation that
provide the richest opportunities for innovation. They tend to be the things we
ignore, precisely because they don’t change.
It’s
more effective to start by identifying something that’s not necessarily a
problem, in a place where others wouldn’t expect to look. In other words, think
about what usually gets ignored, pay attention to what’s not obvious, and start
with things that ain’t broke. http://www.disruptive-thinking.com/blog/if-it-ain%E2%80%99t-broke-don%E2%80%99t-fix-it.html
