Each time I watch this clip I think of the impossibility of possibility. Or the other way around. If I were a betting man and had to predict the outcome of this experiment I would have gone for failure.

Alas, these guys pulled it off – excuse the pun. See the clip here:


Where did this clip start? In the minds of a couple of petrol heads who had a few bucks to spare on damaging a few plates and glasses?
Are we witnessing the fruits of labour of some very clever advertising executives?

Judging by the setting – large enough to comfortably park a decent size aircraft, pristine enough to pass for a surgical theatre – some cheques must have been written to make this happen. Set aside the costs for the table setting alone, which remained spared throughout this particular shoot but may have proceeded by any number of less successful attempts. It may not have been Wedgewood that adorned the fifty-odd seating table – but still...

What enticed me to post this clip was the thinking that ensued once I saw it. My mind wondered in the direction of change – the making of large-scale change within organisations. Think possibilities. What’s the chance that the thinking of the person who came up with the idea was met by less creative, less broad and possibility-focused minds? How many heads would have been shaken around that table at which that person floated this idea, as to say ‘It Cannot Be Done?’

To me, this clip embodies Change – with a capital ‘C.’

Think beyond what you actually see.

In terms of Organisational Change: What do YOU imagine?
