I’ve written that the “secret of life” is never growing up, and indeed, that child’s sense of wonder is an element of idea generation that just HAS to be there if an organization is going to swing for the fences with big changes, or to go after those “BHAGs” (big, hairy and audacious goals).

The best visions are BHAGs – big, hairy, audacious goals. In most cases, you’ll probably think of movies that involved overcoming seemingly impossible odds. Don’t just say “We’re going to make a 10%” improvement” – go for 50%, or 90%! Is there risk involved? A Chance you could fail? Sure, there always is with bold visions.
