BHAGS
Jim Collins coined the term BHAG, "Big Hairy Audacious Goal"
- 10-30 year timeframe
- Big enough that we don't know how to reach it
- Examples:
- JFK and putting a man on the moon
- Starbucks wants to be the biggest brand in the world
- Important to how an organization grows
Thoughts on a SolSeed BHAG
- Brandon: Creating a society (physical not virtual)
- Ben: A society that is about bringing life, and to some degree about being starfarers
- Ted has built a housing co-op
- Brandon: Need an interface of life-giving flows with the outside world
- How to Disappear
- Spiriata could be a sister society
- Ted: Pick something to try on provisionally
Near-term project ideas
- Kevin wants to choose at least one to start by March 30th (his birthday)
- Brenna: Educate people about healthy lifestyles
- Identify an existing project that could substantially benefit from our help
- Brandon: Seed repository
- Bringing life to our neighborhoods in the process
- Bonnie: Create a space for women, esp. single mothers, to give them support
- Web resources
- CleanDrinkingWater: would include interviews as well as website
- Kevin's wife Lindsay could get involved
- Ben: Spacefaring communities
- Kevin: Does it already exist?
- List of organizations and people that we consider to be kindred and hope to support
- Possible goal: have a "bountiful" list by Sol 2009
- Ted: Introduce those groups to each other and thus help the "greater movement" to become more self-aware
- Brandon: Host an OpenSpace for all the ones we identify
- Possible location: Portland Unitarian Universalist Church?
- Ted: Remake the Upward Spiral movie with better quality
