10 Years Ago Today | Business Innovation Speaker and Consultant ...

Ten years ago today was my last day with Accenture. ?The day before I had my book launch party for my first book, 24/7 Innovation. October 11, 2001.

I recently found a notebook from about 15 years ago. ?In it, I found an interesting entry from November 1996. ?In it, I declared where I wanted to be five years in the future.

At that time, Dr. Michael Hammer, the father of reengineering, was one of the most influential people in the world, and someone I admired.

My declaration was that I wanted to be the Michael Hammer of the next wave ? giving speeches, writing books, and traveling the world. ?Five years later, almost to the day, my first book was published, I became a ?professional speaker,? and I started traveling the world. ?The next wave happened to be ?innovation.?

Below is part of what I wrote. ?It?s amazing to think that one day I had a vision for where I wanted to be and, voila, somehow it materialized.

Here?s hoping that all of your aspirations come true.
