An eDream is a dream or complex goal with meaningful aspirations or missions that require managing risk, complexity, and many iterations over multiple years to achieve them. They require an 'e' enablement process to achieve them.

An eDream can be a destination (i.e., graduate from college, open a restaurant, cure cancer) or journey (i.e., be a great mother, be a successful restaurateur, manage a chronic health condition). While a dream to graduate from college and a complex goal for a cancer cure may have little in common, they have similar Enablement components and process to make them happen.

Castellina in Tuscany, Italy and New York are two entirely different destinations with little in common. Yet evaluating whether it is a good idea to go there and what it would take to get there, may be similar. Travel to these destinations may require a different mix of planes, trains and automobiles, yet have a similar process to effectively manage the trip from point A to point B.

Great ideas or aha moments can be very important. While these ideas get all the fanfare, they represent as little as 1% of the process to make them happen. This site provides a framework to evaluate whether an eDream is a good idea, how to make it happen and how to effectively manage making it happen.

An overview of the eDream is communicated with the eDream Snapshot, Enablement Snapshot and Executive Summary.
