We talk a lot here about connecting your organization's vision for the future to an innovation management discipline.  We stress the need to have a big picture view of the future and moving your organization toward it via its strategy and goals.  It isn't a unique concept...but it is becoming a lost art.

Want to see the result of a grand vision from the absolute genius of this concept?





Check out these quotes from the show:

• "Walt Disney's final dream, the Walt Disney World Resort, a commitment to the future for your children and mine..."
• "Best of all, it is a place to stir the imagination and instill a sense of hope for tomorrow..."
• "A joyful land built by an inspired dreamer for other dreamers and dreams still to come..."

Where did our collective sense of vision go?  Why don't we "stir the imagination" anymore?  Where is the "moon shot" of our time?

Where are our dreamers and what dreams are still to come?

I put the blame squarely on the myopic, quarterly numbers driven, "worry about today" mentality.  Few are willing to invest a bit of "today" for a better "tomorrow" in business.  But the few who do are the one's leading the way and they are going to be eating your lunch soon.

So what are you going to do to ensure your organization has a "commitment to the future for your children and mine?"  Think about it...
