Blue Sky is the business/organizational horizon of the future.? Such represents the destinations we desire to transit towards in our quest for success, market share, innovation, social impact and other definitions of success.? Getting there is preceded by having a clear vision for the future that guides objectives, strategies and organizational engagement of challenges opportunities and competition.
In their landmark book “Blue Ocean Strategyâ€, Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne detail the concept of playing fields free of the cut throat competition of today in favor of defining entirely new operating zones.
In this way, businesses and organizations have a clear need to envision their futures – where do we play? How do we compete? What products and services will we offer? How will our organizations be run and led?
Answering these and other questions for the longer term form the foundations for “Blue Sky†– the future horizons for success.?
Leaders both today and tomorrow will be faced with ever-increasing challenges and changing “Rules†or paradigms for success.? Having clarity on the long term specifics lay a foundational guidepost for continued success.
Accepting that today’s success is no guarantee for tomorrow, starts the process and opens the way for future oriented thinking for business and organizational leaders.
