I’ve written that the “secret of life&# is never growing up, and indeed, that child’s sense of wonder is an element of idea generation that just HAS to be there if an organization is going to swing for the fences with big changes, or to go after those “BHAGs&# (big, hairy and audacious goals).

These goals have been labeled by Jim Collins (and others) as a BHAG – a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal.
