My youngest daughter is going the see "The Croods" today - it's the latest DreamWorks production, this time about a prehistoric family about to "leave the cave". I''m secretly jealous that I'm not going too, but I'd stick out like a sore thumb among her group of friends.

The trailers look so good that I'll definitely have to go one way or another - or leave it for the next long-haul flight. This one in particular is brilliant. It has a lot to say about knowledge, learning, innovation, improvement and change management - not to mention the reaction of teen-aged girls!

See if you can spot the following - all in 51 seconds:

Initial problem with someone feeling the pain,
Repeated failure to listen, repeated pain,
Failure of conventional wisdom and leadership,
Recognition of the need for alternative perspective,
Innovation and learning from analogues,
Experimentation and adaptation,
A trumpeted and hyped solution,
Disproportionate excitement followed by immediate sense of loss!

Now, does any of that look familiar in your organisation?
