Ask Yourself:

Just how good is my “crystal ball?” Is that going to get better or worse?
How much do I need to be thinking about the future?
How important are each of the timeframes to making decisions that impact our business?

Action Plan:

Build and frequently update a document to collect insights that impact the four timeframes.
Hold “crystal ball” conversations with customers, vendors, partners, and industry leaders.
Talk with people of all generations to get their thoughts and insights, to understand what they identify with, and what they feel is important.
Look for changes in the way people think and make decisions.
