-Wikipedia
Once Upon A Time…
“I think that there is a world market for maybe five computers.”
Thomas Watson
Chairman of IBM 1943
Technology
“Twitter offered a very restrictive set of protocols that awaken the imagination: what can I do with 140 characters that will be meaningful to others? The solution has proven to be pretty much endless. And do you know what? If the right person is telling the story, I’ll read a tweet stream of sandwiches all day long.”

Experience
“There will never be the fair nor equitable distribution of stuff when it hits the fan.”
Evidence Based Government
“Its pretty much a blanket statement that we throw money at a lot of things and never really study what we are getting for that money, and that’s a shame.”
Peter OrzagPresident Obama’s Former Budget Director
Washington Post, April 16, 2013
To survive and succeed, every organization will have to turn itself into a change agent. The most effective way to manage change successfully is to create it.
Peter Drucker
The Challenge
Thoughts
"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.“
- Albert Einstein
Some Questions…
Who are your customers?What is their definition of success?What are you measuring? Why?Who are your stakeholders?
Are there a commonality of goals between the stakeholders and the customers?
.
The Future…
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people, those who let it happen, those who make it happen and those who wondered what happened.”
-John M. Richardson, Jr.
The Future…
Which One…?
• Let it happen• Make it happen• What just happened?
.
A Thoughtful Perspective…
Would you like to know the secret of success? Here it is. If you want to be a successful husband or wife… see life from your spouse's point of view. If you want to be a successful parent… see life from your child's point of view. If you want to be a successful businessperson…learn to see life from your customer's point of view. If you want to be a successful employer, learn to see life from your employee's point of view.“
- Rick Warren
