Golden Opportunities · Recognising them · Component
The pattern
What an exceptional opportunity tends to look like here — described concretely, so that someone encountering one recognises it.
The deliverable
What it is
Exceptional opportunities arrive looking ordinary and inconvenient. Without a description of what one looks like, they are assessed by the standard process and become ordinary.
The description should come from examples the organisation has actually seen, including the ones it missed.

Opportunities arriving through a normal process are usually ordinary. The exceptional ones arrive sideways.
