AWESOME Blog by Seth Godin - this is perfectly aligned with doing a Painted Picture. If you're doing a Painted Picture for your company 3 years out it needs to be REALLY descriptive - NOT vague. Here is his blog post from this week.....
Making it real by making it closer
Items in the future are closer than they appear....
If you're going across town, you're very specific: "188 Fifth Avenue, on the east side of the street please."
On the other hand, when you go on vacation, you tell people, "I'm going to Paris," not "we're going to 8 rue du Cherche-Midi." And if you're going even farther than that, you skip the city and country altogether and just say, "we're going to Africa." One day, Richard Branson will take you all the way to Mars--all you get is the name of the planet.
Makes sense. We don't need to know which crater you're going to, just that it's far away.
Short version: If you want people to embrace your version of the future, talk about it like it's right around the corner.
