  10. Vision of Pediatrics 2020

  11. Universal Principle: Profession of Pediatrics • In what direction is the profession of pediatrics going? • What forces will most influence the future? • How does the current direction match up against our desired vision for the profession? • How are pediatricians coping and planning for the future? • Is the AAP prepared to guide and assist members to prepare for the likely future?

  12. Prediction Is Risky Business • “Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.”Niels Bohr • “The future is here. It is just not widely distributed yet.”William Gibson • “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”Alan Kay • The path to the future begins with vision. Achieving it is a triumph of will.

  13. Preparation Is Just Good Sense • This project is about CHANGE, not PREDICTION • Removing blinders so all can be seen • Considering likely scenarios • Preparing for likely scenarios • Flexibility to move and manage change when strategically important

  14. Vision of Pediatrics 2020 Task Force Directive • Review data from internal/external experts as to the most powerful forces likely to change or influence the future of pediatrics • Identify the forces most likely to influence the future and construct scenarios • Identify GAPS between current AAP activity and desired AAP activity to best address scenarios • Make recommendations as to what changes in AAP might yield greatest return in mission and member value based on future scenarios
