Repackaged Common Sense = The Next Big Thing

A theme you may notice in some of my posts is that a lot of ideas around "best practice" management, consulting, development or whatever are actually quite often existing ideas repackaged in new frameworks with new buzzwords etc.

That isn't a criticism, it's an observation. In fact, quite often the new presentation and structure of these ideas represents the evolution of better ways of doing things, even if some of these changes are very subtle, or simply provide a better understanding of the ideas rather than actually changing them.

Some of my posts are likely to be the same - a new view on old ideas. No matter how good something is, it can always be improved, or better understood, or better implemented. The Next Big Thing is the Last Big Thing, only that bit further down the line.
