I am curious to understand how you developed this 4 year theory -

How many theories go beyond 4 years, and which ones have not?

Do the ones which have not exhibit any common characteristics?

Does this help prevent the 'flavour of the month syndrome'?

How does this theory affect the rate of learning in the
organisation?

How does it impact change - and how does it apply in times of
rapid change?
