Priority

Where You Start Matters

Where we originate our trip matters if travel time is a priority. The map above shows all the places one can travel to via train in 8 hours or less when departing Geneva, Switzerland. Check out the mapping tool here.

If we are committed to the journey, we can invest the required resources to reach our chosen destination. If a timeline is paramount, then we may need to evaluate our starting and finishing options.

Does a timeline drive our approach, or will the journey add depth and dimension to our work, despite the duration?

Schedule

If we are on the space shuttle’s return flight to Earth from the International Space Station, being on time for departure is paramount. Staying on schedule for a meeting agenda is a choice. If meeting participants are involved in a transformative conversation but time suggests a shift to another topic, making the transition is a decision. How might we use a human-centered mindset to determine when the shift is appropriate? Otherwise, we are elevating the agenda’s significance to the same as a space shuttle launch?

First Edition

What object would you prioritize securing through the deployment of your resources? Said differently, what first edition/experience would you activate your network to possess? First-night tickets at a concert? Original work from a legendary artist? The front most position in line to interview an icon? A historical document with the signature of a hero? Secure the newest piece of technology before anyone else?

What does your selection say about your priorities?

The Route or Horizon

Are you more enthusiastic about the route or the horizon line? Does the idea of travel or the destination resonate more? If you could time travel to the journey in progress or the arrival back home, which would you select? Knowing our preferences influences our mindset. Our mindset prioritizes which aspect of the adventure we deem most important. All of these aspects will allow us to put our signature on the way forward.
