EDream
An eDream is an 'e' enablement framework to make a dream, big idea or breakthrough innovation happen. An eDream requires evaluation (Insight) to determine if it's a good idea and often a complex execution process involving the following components to be successful:
- People - beneficiaries, aspirers, stakeholders, supporters, providers and social circles
- Knowledge - Communities (Industries, Organizations, etc.) and Idea Spaces (Functional Knowledge, Domain Knowledge, etc.)
- Plan - a multiyear plan or a very concerted plan over 6 to 12 months
- Resources - time, money and other sacrifices for an unknown outcome
- Enduring Grit - perseverance and passion for long-term goals, the confidence to take risks
It may not seem like a dream to graduate from college, a big idea for a cancer cure and a breakthrough innovation like Apple's iPhone have much in common. Yet they each have a fundamental Enablement process to make them happen.
Castellina in Tuscany, Italy and New York are two entirely different destinations, yet the traveling process to get there using planes, automobiles and GPS devices may be the same. Like travel, Enablement is the process of getting from point A to point B.
Great ideas or aha moments are very important. Yet these ideas get all the fanfare while being as little as 1% of the process. This site provides a process framework to the other 99%, Enablement. It offers insight into the People, Knowledge, Plan, Resources and Enduring Grit to make almost anything happen.
