After years, no decades, of working in and on the margins of innovation, I think I had an epiphany recently. It's interesting to know that the more you work in a field, you become more aware of the things that you don't know, rather than confident in the things that you do know. For me, one epiphany that happened this week was when I was thinking about how valuable truly disruptive innovation is, and why it is done so rarely.

After all, people often would rather keep the status quo than run the risk of changing something while being unsure that the change will make things better. It also seems to imply that people often think of the past more fondly than the present, as if things were always better in the “good old days” Now, scientists have uncovered an unconscious bias that might explain this phenomenon.

However, sometimes the time, effort and resources spent developing the solution to fix what in reality is a minor problem can be significant.
