Using metaphors to describe a point of view

Can we use the word "building" in the financial sector? For example, can we say "building value"?

Some people argue that the word "building" is restricted to the construction sector... Others think that we can use to talk about building value and wealth and success...

So why is it then that the financial industry and specifically the investment sector is afraid to open up to other industry and learn from their lingo and their best practices?

The following reasons are applicable:

1. Regualtions imposed by the central bank and the monetary agencies
2. The training adopted by the experts is usually traditional and conservative
3. investment bankers, no matter how wild they appear to be, they focus on numbers and facts rather than pictures and patterns

In the old days, everyone believed Swans where only white until one person discovered a black swan in Australia which led to changing the belief.... The financial & investment industry must undergo the same transformation... and when it happens... many new opportunities will open up for the investment companies and the investors.
