When a system becomes stagnate, it is usually do to the fact that the players have an unfair advantage because they are not being held accountable.
The solution to a lack of accountability and stagnation is competition and allowing new ideas to force reaction.
The solution to winning an uneven competition, is variability and novel approaches.
The way to find novel approaches and variability, is growth and progress.
The most dependable growth is compounding progress. (growing on your growth)
Progress is made one small shift at a time. Learning more, solving snags, bettering a skill. Just a little improvement each day.
The key to many small improvements is showing up each day, and intentionally working at the process.
