Old saying: If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

But too many executives feel the need to shake things up. Gotta be an innovator, a visionary. So if it’s not broken, break it.

They think they have to do something different to justify their position. Just look at iphones, software or automobiles. They have something that works but change it for no logical reason.

Funny, the old, famous recipe was lost somewhere, they never found it.
Eventually, Pabst recreated (guessed) old Schlitz recipe from old men memories and old production logs.
Close, but not exact.
