Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals

“Big, Hairy Audacious Goals” is a catchy and inspiring way to think
about things. If you don’t have this book yet, you might want to look
for it next time you’re in a well-stocked bookstore:

Built to Last – Successful Habits of Visionary Companies

Jerry Porras and James C. Collins, 1994.

Here are some links for more information:

Book review / executive summary

Big Hairy and Audacious Goals for Business! (interview)

“We found that visionary companies often set these incredibly challenging goals.”

Goal Setting with Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs)

A workshop outline—great idea for training

My BHAGs are:

  • Revolutionize computer science education by making it highly
    individualized and experiential.
  • Become a world-famous expert on creating systems for planning one’s
    life. Instead of pushing a particular methodology, I’d like to work
    with people’s current ways of planning, suggesting improvements and
    software/hardware to support their life.

What are yours?
