The Blue

.... so what do you think is holding back people, organizations, companies, countries from performing? Here is my list:

- Imagination

- Articulation

- Dedication

People lack imagination, which reflects their restrain in envisioning the next greatest thing. This limitation inhibits them for embracing the idea when some one presents it. Their silo’ed imagination limits their risk taking ability, human limitations in modeling and computing only fuels this imagination gap

Imagination needs to be articulated in the style and language of the stake holder. The articulation translates it into physical yet invisible gain to the stake holder. This invisible gain could be professional or personal like – career progression for taking action against the idea, monetary gain and gains to the company (where he may be a share holder), etc.

Dedication to pursue the imagined idea and follow through the delivery. This dedication is reflected in the effort to layout the execution plans, engaging the sponsors and negotiating to create executive advocacy, energizing the team through a carrot or a stick. Helping the ancillary and support staff prepare as they deliver the goods.
