This document discusses priorities for change and managing that change effectively. It emphasizes identifying the main priority or "main thing", creating a vision and plan to address it, and monitoring impact over time. Key aspects of managing change include understanding the current situation, desired future state, steps to close the gap, and metrics to track progress. Sharing ideas and gaining input from others is also highlighted. The overall message is the importance of keeping the primary focus clear and strategically managing initiatives for progress.

9. The strategic view v’s minutiae
I also knew, as did
every kid in Canada,
that it was
impossible….. But….
Just the day before it
had been impossible
to walk on the
Moon….. Maybe
someday, it would be
possible for me to go
too, and if that day
ever came, I wanted
to be ready.’
Chris Hadfield, Aged 9.

Sweat the small stuff is great but we also need to have the bigger picture – look at what’s coming along and take the strategic view
Introduce task – discuss scenario. Come up with a plan of action. Will share on flip chart paper. What would you do?
