6 months...

Well, we all survived another class. Marketing is over ! I actually loved this class, it was the very first opportunity after ExecMap to put all the components in perspective and finally approach the essence of business. The stramsim simulation was really good. Decide and assume the consequences of your decisions ! Running a business is not only about the bottom line. Or better said, looking at the bottom line as a fatality on which you perform financial analysis. Managing a business is not about reacting, implementing action plans or improving a threatened competitive position. It is about vision, innovation, taking risk and imagining the future. In a way it would even sound mystic ! It's seizing the potential of a new environment that no one can yet conceive. Who said if it's not controversial, then it's not strategic ?

On another subject I am happy of what I did today. Nino would call that optimism. I like to see it as realism. Realism is also understanding what is good and necessary. What makes you a better person. So you want to know what I did ? Well I send an email to somebody. Just like that, and I told that person what I felt. Many positive things. And it was good, spontaneous, honest and authentic. One of these moments when you reconnect with the true essence of life. Realism ? I don't know. And I don't want to know. It's my way of finding mysticism. I hope I get an answer...maybe i will. Uncertainty is a component of our existence that we often have a hard time to deal with, but at the end it is what makes it so beautiful because you never know what tomorrow will bring you...
