Hi Bill, can you say something visionary?

Yes, this was actually Bill’s business card

We're incredibly bad at predicting what will happen and even worse at predicting when it will happen.

You have to face it.
You will be confronted with radical innovation faster than expected.
And the only thing you can do as company leaders is to look beyond today, beyond tomorrow, and look at "The Day After Tomorrow" to be ready for whatever comes next.

But let's be real for a second.

How much of your time do you spend on today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
Today is the 112 emails that you get on Monday morning that you didn't know you had to worry about the Friday night before you left the office. It's the constant stream of Zoom calls that go from back to back. Let's face it. We réally spend a lot of time in today.
Tomorrow is next year's budget. Peter Hinssen describes it as the yearly, sadistic corporate rituals where people put fake news in Excel that is consolidated into something which actually never works. Companies spend an obscene amount of energy figuring out next year's budget, before realizing it's already outdated.
And then there's the Day After Tomorrow: the ideas, concepts, business models, and technologies that change the rule of the game.

How do companies divide their energy and time between today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

“70-20-10",

is what a seasoned company leader would probably say.

"Total BS",

is what we say.
Monday morning you drive to work saying "70-20-10". You drive back on Friday night and you realize it wasn't 70-20-10, it was 93, 7, and 0.

There's always something that comes in the way, and the problem is value.

Today is the current value and tomorrow is the future value.

But these new ideas, concepts, business models and technologies that change the rule of the game could have a HUGE long term value. They are crucial if you want to reinvent yourself in "The Never Normal".

"The Day After Tomorrow" is not a far-off future. It's happening now. And if you're not prepared, your company might not even make it to the Day after Tomorrow after all.
