SPLITTING A VISION
Historical case study: Statue of Liberty Jan Hadrava
YOU HAVE A VISION …
In the 19th century a young
French sculptor had an idea of
building
a giant statue to celebrate the
French-American relations
… AND YOU HAVE CHALLENGES
Among other things he struggled a lot
with the funding for this huge project.
It was clear that he was not able to build
a whole statue with the funding he had
available.
???
SO YOU NEED TO SPLIT IT... BUT HOW?
The idea was to create a part of the
intended statue that could intrigue
public interest in order to get the
support and funding needed for the
rest of the project.
But can you identify such a part in the
case of the Statue of Liberty??
OBVIOUSLY IT IS POSSIBLE!
The ingenious sculptor built the hand with
a torch which could be used as an
observation tower, he installed that in
Philadelphia
and collected an entrance fee.
This step secured funding and a wave of
public interest in the project.
OK. BUT YOU STILL CAN'T BUILD THE REST IN ONE STEP…
So the sculptor was able to continue
with the construction.
Unfortunately the rest of the statue
was still too big to fund and more
splitting
was required.
But is there any other part of the Statue
of Liberty that could introduce any value
on its own?
SUCCESSFUL APPROACH REPEATED!
He constructed the head with a crown which
could also serve as an observation tower. Placed
it in Paris and once again collected an entrance
fee.
Funding for the rest of the statue was secured.
CONCLUSION?
It is not always easy. Sometimes it
requires thinking outside the box.
But it is almost always possible to
split a vision into smaller yet
valuable goals.
Even in the seemingly indivisible
project of the Statue of Liberty!
