When it comes to transformation, we typically imagine changes that take effect quickly, or take us by surprise. We also often discuss the outcomes looking back, thus condensing months, even years-worth of sustained work into a short narrative.
But looking at the past doesn't give us a good measure of what could happen in the future.
