How to use "Conventional" in context?
Conventional wisdom is often the most sound advice we can follow. It's been passed down through our generations and accepted as truth, despite the fact that it might not always be the most efficient or effective way to go about getting things done. Traditional methods of parenting, for example, tend to rely on discipline and consequence to shape children into productive members of society. This sometimes proves difficult, as children can be more willful and rebellious when they feel like they're not being listened to or treated fairly. But by following a conventional approach, parents can usually find a way to get the most out of their children.
The same is often true of business.
