WE SPEND MOST OF OUR
LIVES
THINKING ABOUT “TODAY.”There are a million reasons, every day again, why
our attention is constantly drawn to this strange
maelstrom of time that we have labelled “ Today.”
Today is messy, today is chaotic, but today is very
real.
Today is the 112 emails you receive on Monday
you did not even think you were going to get on
the Friday evening before.
Today is the “dark matter” of our universe that
we don’t realize sucks up a lot of our energy
and emotions. July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 4

WE LIKE TO SPEND MORE TIME ON
“TOMORROW.”
From time to time, we have to think about the “
budget of next year,” or the “organizational
restructuring of the next fiscal quarter,” or the “targets
of our sales forecasts.”
We would like to spend more time in Tomorrow, because
Tomorrow is important.
Tomorrow is
where our pay check will be coming from, where our
customers will decide to be loyal or not, where our
shareholders will decide if we are worth our salt.
Tomorrow is
a constant shadow hanging over us, always present,
always urging. Be we don’t have enough time for
Tomorrow.

AND THEN THERE IS THE
“DAY AFTER TOMORROW”
A mythical, almost
magical place July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com
6

THE PLACE OF
DREAMS, HOPES, IDEALS.
Where we can throw off the
shackles of the past and
focus on the blue oceans,
the unspoiled dreaming of
the future.

BUT THE “DAY AFTER TOMORROW” IS
FAR AWAY.
And just like New
Year’s Resolutions where we
would love to lose weight or spend
more time with the family, the
“Day After Tomorrow” ambitions
often wither away very quickly.
The Day After Tomorrow is often
too far away for us to really worry
about it, spend time in, and plan.

UNTIL NOW THAT IS …
Until the “Day After Tomorrow” comes faster
than ever before.
And that seems to be happening, right now.
Technology has accelerated the pace of
change in society.
Digital has gone from being nice to being
nasty where, all of a sudden, we talk about
disruption and radical change.
Business models change overnight, and safe
havens and markets are preparing for July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 9

COMPANIES
feel like inhabitants of coastal towns
preparing for an oncoming hurricane,
nailing wooden planks to their
windows,
but knowing that the tornado could
just knock their entire house down
if it happens to stand in the path of
the oncoming storm.

THE DAY AFTER
TOMORROW
comes faster than ever
before in history.
Scary.
But it seems like we’re
still doing our Today and
Tomorrow business like it July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 11

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU
SPEND IN
THE DAY AFTER
TOMORROW ?I love to ask companies how much time,
budget, resources and talent they spend
thinking about Today, Tomorrow and the
Day After Tomorrow?
As an individual, as a team, as an
organization, or as a company.
Most of them answer that the ideal
proportion would be something like
“70%, 20%, 10%.” July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 12

NOBLE. IF THAT
WERE THE CASE,
there would be no reason
for this presentation
They would be just fine
if they would spend 10% of
their resources on the Day
After Tomorrow. July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 13

PROJECTED TIME SPENT?

RARELY IS THAT THE
CASE.
Most people realize when they
measure their real activities, that
they spend more like
a “93%, 7%, 0%” scenario
Despite the great intentions, those
112 emails, and Next Year’s
Budget always seem to completely
devour our “Day After Tomorrow”July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 15

THE PROBLEM IS VALUE
Don’t let me tell you that Today is not
important. It is.
It is hugely important.
It generates the current value of your
activities.
Tomorrow is huge as well. July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 16

THE DAY AFTER
TOMORROW
But the incredibly small percentage of
“Day After Tomorrow” ideas, concepts,
notions or inspiration, can generate
enormous amounts of long-term value for
you, your company and your people.
They are the ones that end up changing
entire markets, industries and even the
world. July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 17

THE DAY AFTER
TOMORROW
They are where the truly great ones – the
giants of industry, those that provoke
paradigm shifts – focus a lot of attention on
I’m talking about the Ubers of this world,
and the Googles, with their moonshots.
Or SpaceX’s Elon Musk
How’s that for a long term vision?

SO, MY THESIS IS QUITE
SIMPLE:
 If you don’t make sure that the
Day After Tomorrow becomes a
part of how you organize yourself
as an individual,
if you don’t embed the Day After
Tomorrow in the DNA of your
organization,
then it’s pretty likely that you
won’t even make it to the July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 19

THE FOCUS SHOULD BE VALUE
CREATION

THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU’RE
NOT ALONE.
Everyone has the exact same
problem.
Everyone worries about this
“Day After Tomorrow
Deficit,”
and we’re all scared that this
Day After Tomorrow is coming July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 21

THE REAL QUESTION IS:
You need a model that allows you
to adapt at the speed of your
environment
and innovate fearlessly, radically
and permanently?
If not, high time to start looking for
it. July 29, 2016www.LTSemaj.com 22
