“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯?”

This single question has the power to unlock breakthrough innovation in any organization. Yet most leaders never think to ask it.

Here’s what I mean: Innovation sclerosis is silently killing progress in businesses everywhere. It’s when you’ve been doing something the same way for so long that questioning it literally never crosses your mind. The process becomes invisible. Sacred. Untouchable.

Consider this: For 110 years, StarKist sold tuna in tin cans. Over a century of the same packaging approach. Not once did anyone in those boardrooms seriously challenge whether there might be a better way.

Then someone finally asked the question.

The result? A simple shift to resealable plastic pouches generated $200 million in additional revenue in year one alone.

$200 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯.

Right now, your organization has its own “tin cans” – those unexamined practices, assumptions, and comfort zones that are quietly strangling your growth potential. They’re hiding in plain sight:

The meeting structure you’ve used for years

The customer onboarding process everyone accepts as “just how we do it”

The product features you assume are non-negotiable

The market segments you’ve never considered

The most transformative innovations don’t come from adding complexity. They come from questioning simplicity. From having the courage to ask “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺?”

Your challenge: Identify three “𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴” in your organization this week. Those processes, assumptions, or traditions that have gone unquestioned for too long.

Then ask the $200 million question: “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺?”

The next breakthrough might be sitting right there, disguised as “the way we’ve always done things.”
