Resilient Future: Curious Observation...

On this vibrant and chilly Fall day, facing West towards the mountains, as the sun rises behind us a few bright star-like lights shine for just a few minutes.

These reflections are from the bright morning sun shining off home windows near Evergreen Meadows some 40 miles away, yet just perfectly in our vision, starts our day ahead.

The tree leaves are actively changing colors and signals to us to now begin to prepare for the changing environment ahead.

In other work or government assignments, perhaps you and your project team have been measuring your environment. Have you been checking your “Threat Management App” this moment for the detection of more serious anomalies this minute.

Being actively observant in nature and your own organizational environment could be the real difference between loss or growth. In your life, you must “Always Be Ready”.

Your ability to continuously increase your resilience to changing temperatures in nature and also the change in temperament of your organizations beneficiaries, will make a significant difference.

As you think about your role, your position and the current project you are now assigned to, the question remains: Who are you serving?

There is change in the wind and you must prepare now, you shall be proactive in your thinking over the horizon, so that you also can anticipate the future outcomes.

How might you spend more time in curious dialogue with your respective beneficiaries to better understand their point of view, their particular requirements and their current temperament?

The problem-set before you requires valuable time, brain power and resources to determine the validity of your current hypothesis.

In the path forward, most researchers, analysts and scientists would probably say that if you have not changed your hypothesis, then you have not used enough data or time to ascertain the true reality of the problem at this point in time.

How might you analyze more data from various sources faster with little error so that you arrive at a valid “Trust Decision”?

Being proactive is not being forceful. Being proactive is being curious. It is a mission of discovery and building wisdom.

Your future actions are a factor of your problem-set and the ability to accurately solve it with a solution defined by your curious observation.

There is change in the wind before us and we must “Always Be Ready”…
