When you analyze your company, it’s easy to look at everything in its current state. What’s our biggest problem today ? What’s our best asset today ? That perspective is not so useful, however, when planning for where you want to be tomorrow. It’s not about where you are, it’s about where you’re headed, and how fast you’re getting there. Long-term thinking is hard for a very simple reason: every company is in a race against the clock.

I’ve been know to say, “You can’t transform something you don’t understand.” You don’t want to change things that are working well or that create value for your customers.
